25 years and beyond
DDLJ set the standards of romance, and romantic films so high, very few films have been able to get close to recreating that magic on screen
A re-watch for the ages
Apart from losing count of the number of times I've re-watched DDLJ in the digital era, I've been lucky enough to live the film at Maratha Mandir too.
Full of love
Yes, it is a love story, but there's much more substance to it... The very first scenes of the film depict love for India... There's the love between a father and a son. Simran shares a friendly relationship with her mother too.
Why is it loved?
DDLJ, of course, is celebrated as one of the most-popular romances not only in India but worldwide, and rightly so. It also ticks off all the essential cues moving away from romance that makes the film a larger than life experience.
