DDLJ MOVIE REVIEW SHAHRUKH KHAN

 




Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ), a genre-defining Bollywood film, directed by Aditya Chopra and released in 1995. Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (“The Brave-Hearted Will Win the Bride”) is popularly known by the initialism DDLJ and stars Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. The film is regarded as the definitive Bollywood romance and has significantly shaped Indian popular culture and imagination over the years.



DDLJ follows the love story of Raj (Khan) and Simran (Kajol), who are nonresident Indians living in London. They meet and fall in love during a trip across Europe that is fraught with misadventures. Simran, however, is already betrothed; her prospective groom, chosen by her conservative father, lives in Punjab. Simran reluctantly goes back to India with her parents to get married. Raj follows her and, averse to challenging tradition by eloping, tries to win over Simran's family.


Obstacles present themselves; Simran’s father vehemently disapproves of Raj, and her disgruntled fiancé is not above violence. Love, however, triumphs. In an emotionally charged climactic scene, the lovers unite with Simran's father's blessing.



DDLJ was the directorial debut of Aditya Chopra (son of legendary director-producer Yash Chopra) and the magnum opus of Yash Raj Films, the studio owned by the Chopra family. DDLJ had a sensational run at the box office, taking in more than 100 crore rupees worldwide (nearly $11.5 million at the exchange rate of 2025). It took home the National Film Award for best popular film providing wholesome entertainment and won in almost all the major categories at the 1996 Filmfare Awards.


Many elements came together to make DDLJ a blockbuster. The film repackaged a typical romance plot in a way that would appeal to Indian audiences. Its central conflict—between traditional family values ​​and the desire for independence and love—resonated with moviegoers. Like many Yash Chopra productions DDLJ was shot in picturesque locations throughout London and Switzerland, and the Swiss vistas framing a budding romance added to the film’s charm. Moreover, the protagonists were nonresident Indians, who won over a diaspora audience.


Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol's on-screen partnership

The naming of DDLJ

The name Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge was suggested by actress Kirron Kher, the wife of actor Anupam Kher, who plays Raj's father in the film. The title was inspired by the song “Le Jayenge, Le Jayenge, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge” from the film Chor Machaye Shor (1974; “The Thief Makes Noise”). DDLJ's opening credits acknowledge Kher's contribution.


A huge part of DDLJ's success is attributed to the chemistry between Khan and Kajol, who are regarded as an iconic pairing in Bollywood. Before DDLJ, they costarred in the action thrillers Baazigar (1993; “Gambler”) and Karan Arjun (1995). DDLJ, however, marked a turning point in their partnership. Khan and Kajol were subsequently cast as romantic leads in several other Bollywood films, such as Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998; “Something Happens”) and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham… (2001; “Sometimes Happiness, Sometimes Sadness”). DDLJ's massive popularity and commercial success also propelled both Khan and Kajol to superstardom, making the film a milestone in their careers.


soundtrack

DDLJ's soundtrack is considered to have contributed significantly to the film's popularity. It was scored by the musical duo Jatin-Lalit (Jatin Pandit and Lalit Pandit). The soundtrack features seven songs all written by veteran lyricist Anand Bakshi. The songs were sung by some of the leading voices of Bollywood: Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, Kumar Sanu, and Udit Narayan. Tracks such as “Tujhe Dekha To Yeh Jana Sanam” (“When I Saw You, I Realized This”), “Ho Gaya Hai Tujhko To Pyar Sajna” (“You Have Fallen in Love, My Beloved”), and “Mehendi Laga Ke Rakhna” (“Put On Henna”) still make it on Indian wedding playlists.

DREAM GIRL MOVIE REVIEW

Image
 The film "Dream Girl," starring Ayushmann Khurrana, is directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa, who has written several shows for Kapil Sharma. When assessing the success of Kapil's show, Raaj may have considered the fact that men portray female characters, a fact that the audience finds deeply appealing. He further explored this idea in his film "Dream Girl." The protagonist of the film, using a female voice, converses with men in a call center, often in a love-filled conversation. Raaj Shaandilyaa says he got the idea from a friend who used to talk to a girl on the phone. He later discovered that she was a boy. Karamveer Singh (Ayushmann Khurrana) has been adept at imitating a girl's voice since childhood. This is why he gets the role of Sita in the play. As a young man, unemployed Karamveer takes a job at a call center, where he changes his voice to Pooja and sweetly chats with men on phone calls. Meanwhile, Karam falls in love with Mahi (Nusrat Bharucha), but he d...

DILWALE MOVIE REVIEW SHAHRUKH KHAN

Image
 Rohit Shetty eschews the details of past hits and instead focuses on the subject matter, crafting his own style. His latest film, "Dilwale," echoes themes from "Hum" and "Chalte Ka Naam Gaadi." The car-grocery and the elder brother's insistence on the younger brother staying away from girls are borrowed from "Chalte Ka Naam Gaadi," while the theme of abandoning past hooliganism and living a peaceful life is taken from "Hum." Some scenes are cribbed from English films, such as the five-minute dating scene between Shah Rukh and Kajol, inspired by "How I Met Your Mother." The crucial question is, despite the inspiration, is "Dilwale" entertaining? The answer is that while there are some scenes that make you laugh, move you emotionally, and thrill you, the film as a whole lacks impact. It fails to live up to the weight of expectations. The story revolves around Raj (Shah Rukh Khan), who lives in Goa with his brother...
