Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995)

3h 10m / Not Rated / Drama, Romance

Audiences will fall in love with the charming Raj (Shah Rukh Khan) and the spirited Simran (Kajol), both Indians raised in the UK, who meet on a train when traveling with their friends across Europe. A frothy love story develops against picture-postcard Alpine landscapes, and the couple’s romance is threatened when Simran’s father takes her to India for an arranged marriage. The film wears its patriotism on its sleeve as it captures the conflict between modern attitudes toward love and traditional Indian values, where duty to the family takes precedence.

Three decades since its release, the magic of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (popularly known as DDLJ) remains undiminished; the film still screens daily at the Maratha Mandir Theatre in Mumbai.
