As of 2021, over 25 years after its first release, it is still being shown at the Maratha Mandir theatre in Mumbai. It is the longest-running film in the history of Indian cinema. Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge was one of only three Hindi films in the reference book 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die, and was placed twelfth on the British Film Institute's list of top Indian films of all time. It spawned many imitations of its story and style and homages to specific scenes.
Its success led other filmmakers to target the non-resident Indian audience, which was deemed more lucrative for them. Many critics praised the film, which connected with different segments of society by simultaneously promoting strong family values and the following of one's own heart. Its soundtrack album became one of the most popular of the 1990s. It won 10 Filmfare Awards-the most for a single film at that time-and the National Film Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment. The film was shot in India, London, and Switzerland, from September 1994 to August 1995.Įarning ₹1.06 billion (valued at about US$32,766,000 in 1995) in India and ₹160 million (valued at about US$4,946,000 in 1995) overseas, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge became the highest grossing Bollywood film of the year, and one of the most successful Indian films in history. Raj tries to win over Simran's family so the couple can marry, but Simran's father has long since promised her hand to his friend's son. The plot revolves around Raj and Simran, two young non-resident Indians, who fall in love during a vacation through Europe with their friends. Released on 20 October 1995, the film stars Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol.
The Big-Hearted Will Take the Bride), also known by the initialism DDLJ, is a 1995 Indian Hindi-language musical romance film, directed by Aditya Chopra in his directorial debut, produced by his father Yash Chopra, and written by Javed Siddiqui with Aditya Chopra. In end, I hope people who read this will buy DDLJ, (Renting will be useless, because you'll want to watch it over and over again.) love this priceless gem of a movie, and this goes out to the girls, wanna "come.Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge ( transl. They are so many underlying messages in DDLJ that can strike a cord in a non-Indian's (like me, I'm Nigerian American) soul. I mean, I'm getting teary eyed writing this review at this moment! This film touched not only my heart, but my soul as well. But while watching the making of DDLJ (I own the special edition version with two DVD's inside), I became rather teary eyed.

Amish (sic) Puri, who played Kajol's dad acts wonderfully with just his eyes! One of the funniest lines in the movie is when Raj's friend walks into Simran's dad store and says "Uncle, can I have some beer?!" Gosh, it's the way that cat said the line that made it so FUNNY! After watching it again yesterday, I realized that I love so many Hollywood movies (particularly classic ones) and yet I couldn't state my all time favorite one. The script is excellent, everything is excellent especially the acting and memorable songs! The supporting cast (most notably Simran parents, sister and Raj's dad were figging awesome!) Mr. SRK and Kajol shine beyond reason in this flick. And let me tell ya'll, it is now my favorite movie of all time. Their on-screen chemistry is remarkable! I can't explain it! Anyhoo, I asked my mom for some Bollywood movies for Christmas and one of the movies I got was DDLJ. Most of all, I became a SRK and Kajol fan. We watched K3G and I was so touched by it! It was simply wonderful. So she invited me to an "Indian Movie Night" at her dorm.
I was very moved and inspired by the clips alone! Then, I told my friend (who happens to be Indian) from my work study job that I like Bollywood. I recently took a class about India in college and towards the end of the semester, we watched a few clips from some Bollywood and Tamil movies.
