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 continuously showing Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge daily since its release on 20 October 1995, and the film's run there remains ongoing as of 2026.[5] It is one of the most well-known cinemas in Mumbai.
