Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995)

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

An Exercise In Nonsense

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Every thing associated with DDLJ is cult.Even after 23 years filmmakers still use,recreate and take inspiration from the film.Everyone,he or she,of any age should watch this movie at least once in there lifetime.You will be surprised to see that the film looks like it was filmed recently.This is the longest running film in the history of film making and holds a Guinness world record for the same.Come fall in love........

I absolutely loved "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge!" I am an Italian American woman and thought I had seen all the best love stories ever made, until I saw this movie. Spectacular! I've had many friends recommend "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" over the years, but never took the time to see it, so when my friend Rajni from Mumbai asked me last week if I had ever seen it, I decided to make the time. I'm very happy I did! The movie was entertaining, fun and within a few minutes of watching the movie I found myself wrapped up in seeing Raj and Simran build a love story that made my heart melt! What a beautiful movie! I've been humming, "Mere Khwabon Mein" all day.Of course, Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol were perfect for the roles of Raj and Simran, who were absolutely adorable! I have seen them coupled in their other movies, as recent as 2015's "Dilwale" but must say, this is their very best! Knowing that I will watch this movie several times more, I purchased it. So, it seems to me that "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" still mesmerizes those who have never seen it, even 22 years later!

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 invited to an "Indian Movie Night" at her dorm. We watched K3G and I was so touched by it! It was simply wonderful. Most of all, I became a SRK and Kajol fan. 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. And let me tell ya'll, it is now my favorite movie of all time. SRK and Kajol shine beyond reason in this flick. 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. 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. But while watching the making of DDLJ (I own the special edition version with two DVD's inside), I became rather teary eyed. 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.

Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ) is one of my favorite films of all time. It is the story of Raj and Simran, two polar opposites who meet on a train in Europe. Raj is the son of an industrialist and is a modern an outgoing guy. Simran on the other hand is the daughter of a gas station vendor and is more reserved. After these 2 meet, the audience is in for a fun ride filled with romance, comedy and drama.From start to finish, the film keeps you engaged and makes you cheer on for Raj and Simran. The songs are great, melodious, and make the film more enjoyable. The dialogs are equally memorable, so memorable that the President of the United States quoted a line from this movie when he visited India.This review is coming from a guy, and yes most guys do not watch Rom-coms. But this is one Rom-com no one should miss. Whether you are Indian or not, a man or a woman, this is a movie no one should miss. It is great for all ages and once someone watches this, that person will watch it multiple times later in life. To me, it is the best Rom-com I have seen and that is why I highly recommend it to anyone. This is a film which I believe everyone should see at least once in their life. So sit back, relax and enjoy one of the greatest films in Bollywood history.
