It’s ‘Cool’ Yet Traditional Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan in a still from movie ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ Just like the tag-line of the movie goes “Come fall in love”, the movie indeed makes the people want to fall in love. The movie made those die-hard romantics live their dream through the lead characters. It is that movie where you laugh with the characters, cry with them and unknowingly and unintentionally fall in love with them. The scene gives you goosebumps and when Raj says “Palat” and Simran turns back and Raj smiles, you can actually feel the happiness of the character. Simple story it is but the super-talented Aditya Chopra (the director of the movie) presented the love story with various little intricacies and numerous heart-touching moments, for instance, the “Palat”scene where Raj confesses his love for Simran and then the very next moment he laughs it off saying that he was just kidding, although it’s quite evident from his eyes that this is the girl that he can die for. A girl and a boy falling madly in love on a trip, in the beautiful locations of Europe and their love towering supreme against all odds in the end. A Magical Ride That Everyone Wants To Be A Part Of Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in a still from movie ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ĭDLJ gives us a piece of fantasy that everyone wants to be a part of. And SRK and Kajol with their unconventional charm and appeal and the electrifying chemistry made these two characters so endearing that it is difficult to say whether the characters catapulted them to super-stardom or it is the other way around.
They are real enough to make us relate to their problems and fantastical enough to make us wish to live a life like that. They are ordinary, yet larger- than- life as well. Every girl wants a bit of ‘Raj’ in her lover and every guy wants a bit of ‘Simran’ in his girl. Every girl finds a bit of her in ‘Simran’ and every guy finds a bit of him in ‘Raj’. They are not perfect, they are not the most good-looking but they are the characters that every guy and girl can identify with. ‘Raj’ is the quintessential lover boy and ‘Simran’ is the girl-next-door that every guy wants to take home. Out of the millions of reasons that we discover every time we watch and re-watch the movie, here are a few that makes it the undisputed conqueror of our hearts: The Characters – ‘Raj’ & ‘Simran’ Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan in a still from movie ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ What is it about DDLJ that makes it stand apart from the other love stories? What is it that makes it the benchmark of ‘romance’ in Bollywood even when the same genre has been exploited in numerous other movies as well?

And even after those three odd hours, as you come back into the real world, the effect lingers on and the smile just refuses to fade away from your lips. Some say that it’s not just a movie it’s an experience, the experience of experiencing something which for the three odd hours transcends you into a world where two ordinary looking people make you a part of their most extra-ordinary love story. But all these combined together would fall short of describing the impact that it has had over cinema lovers from all over the world in the last two decades. The longest running movie of the Indian Cinema, the movie that defined the love stories of 90s, the movie that started a trend, the movie that made Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol superstars overnight – all these phrases are often attributed to the phenomenon that Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge was, is and will always be.
