Overview

Raj is a rich, carefree, happy-go-lucky second generation NRI. Simran is the daughter of Chaudhary Baldev Singh, who in spite of being an NRI is very strict about adherence to Indian values. Simran has left for India to be married to her childhood fiancé. Raj leaves for India with a mission at his hands, to claim his lady love under the noses of her whole family. Thus begins a saga.

About the Film

Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge is a 1995 Indian Hindi-language romantic musical film directed by Aditya Chopra, widely known by its initials DDLJ and considered one of the most important and influential films in Indian cinema history. Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol star as Raj and Simran, two young British Indians of Punjabi heritage who meet during a backpacking trip across Europe and fall in love. When Simran's conservative father, played by Amrish Puri, refuses to break her arranged engagement to a man in Punjab and takes the family to India, Raj follows to win the father's approval through respect and tradition rather than defiance.

DDLJ was a cultural phenomenon that redefined Hindi cinema — it held the record as the longest-running film in Indian theatrical history, playing continuously at Mumbai's Maratha Mandir cinema for over 20 years. Shah Rukh Khan's Raj, with his arms spread wide in what became his signature pose, became the definitive Bollywood romantic hero for a generation. DDLJ earned over $35 million worldwide and is considered the defining romance of Indian cinema.
