Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand was the most recent monarch to celebrate a platinum jubilee; he died shortly after official celebrations in Thailand took place. The next currently reigning monarch who would celebrate a platinum jubilee is Queen Elizabeth II in February 2022.
In South Asian usage, a "platinum jubilee" refers not to an anniversary, but the celebration of 75 weeks. For instance, in Pakistan and India, a platinum jubilee film is one shown in cinemas for 75 weeks or more. The success measure for a 'super hit film' is minimum six months release on its main cinema.[3]
The next level of celebration, an anniversary of 75 years, is called a Diamond Jubilee (the same term as for a 60-year anniversary).[4][5][6][7][8] An anniversary of 100 years is simply called a centenary.[9]
