Maratha Mandir is an integral part of Mumbai cinema folklore. Over the decades, the cinema hall has screened some of the biggest Hindi 
hits, including K. Asif's Mughal-e-Azam and Kamal Amrohi's Pakeezah. Mughal-e-Azam ran in the theatre for four years. Pakeezah, on the other hand, had a slow start, but its heroine, Meena Kumari, passed away a week after the release of the film. The footfalls increased steadily thereafter and history was made. Maratha Mandir's claim to fame today rests on 'Dilwale Dulhaniya le Jayenge', a Shahrukh Khan-Kajol starrer that has been running here for 14 years.
