For more than two decades, it had stood as the ultimate benchmark of a movie's popularity: Sholay's record run for over five long years at Minerva theatre in Bombay. From 1975 to 1980, come rain or heat wave, Sholay was the movie screened at Minerva, one of India's largest movie halls, in Bombay. Over the years, that landmark became the record to beat. There have been popular movies after Sholay, some of which have earned more money and sold more tickets, but this particular record -- of a continuous run of over five whole calendar years -- remained unbeaten. Till recently. Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge has done what many had thought was impossible. It has actually broken the Sholay record. Last month, DDLJ's run at Maratha Mandir overtook Sholay's screening record at Minerva. Ironically, both Minerva and Maratha Mandir are located in south-central Bombay, barely a couple of kilometres apart. What did DDLJ have that enabled it to overtake the most awesome of records? Find out from those involved in making the movie. Interview with Anupama Chopra on "The Making of Sholay"
