Maratha Mandir is a cinema hall located in Maratha Mandir Marg, Reserve Bank of India Staff Quarters Byculla, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. [1] Maratha Mandir was opened on 16 October 1945 and has 1000 seats. [2] In the 1960s and 1970s, Maratha Mandir was known for its lavish film launches, with the particularly grand launch of Mughal-e-Azam in 1960 being a highlight. [3] The introduction of multiplexes diverted "class" viewers from establishment with the "masses" of the working class patronizing the theatre instead. [4] Maratha Mandir is currently known for holding a record because Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge has been shown daily since its release on 20 October 1995 at the theathre, continuing its run as of 2025. [5] Maratha Mandir is one of the famous cinema halls in Mumbai.
