The phenomenally popular Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (it played in Indian theaters for five years straight) is, in many ways, a perfect introduction to Bollywood.
DDLJ (as it is known in its circles) is a both a watershed and a gateway in terms of it's genre; it is both kitsch and touching, cheesy and emotional, and a great way to break your way into understanding the cinema of the Indian sub-continent.
DDLJ is a film that will show the sights, sounds and a few stars of India and leave you hungering for more- between the frenzied dance numbers and touching love scenes, you will learn to not only understand, but enjoy what the Indians call a "marsala."

DilwaleDulhania Le Jayenge was the first movie of its era that brought in the theme of making movies on Non Resident Indians.
DDLJ has a similar storyline of 'Boy meets Girl' but the family becomes the big reason why they cannot live their personal life.
Kajol Aka Simran is the shy daughter of a European NRI yearning for the homeland, who dreams and waits for a prince charming to enter into her life whereas Shahrukh is the truant college boy who teases and fools every person he meets.

"DDLJ" doesn't have the depth or the subtlety that Wood finds in "Brick Lane." But it shares with Ali's novel and with Jhumpa Lahiri's fiction an awareness of the poignance of the diaspora -- the simultaneous longing for the reassurance and continuity of tradition and for the freedom of the new world.
"DDLJ" is about how the lovers balance the responsibilities to family and tradition with the longing they feel for each other.
That's what happened when I saw "DDLJ" a few weeks back, when it was shown at the American Museum of the Moving Image in Queens as part of the Cinema India showcase.

The 1995 Bollywood musical "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" ("The Braveheart Will Take the Bride"), the debut film from then 24-year-old director Aditya Chopra, is one of those pieces of pop culture that easily traverses borders.
It opened in October 1995 and as of 2002 (the year Indian film critic Anupama Chopra's smart and useful monograph on the movie appeared) it was still packing a thousand-seat movie palace in Bombay.
"DDLJ" is one of the most successful films in the history of the world's largest film industry.

 DVD Times - Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge
DDLJ did away with this stereotype and Raj and Simran are shown to be perfectly normal, good-hearted people who still value their Indian roots despite having grown up in Britain.
DDLJ aimed to show that Westernisation need not affect a different culture negatively and as such was as huge a hit with Bollywood's NRI audience as it was with the one back home.
DDLJ was a departure for both of them, however, as their previous films had been (as amazing as it seems now) violent, bloody thrillers.

Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge ("The Brave-Hearted Will Take the Bride"), universally known as DDLJ, opened to huge popular acclaim in India in 1995.
DDLJ was the first contemporary Hindi film to focus on Indian residents abroad (specifically, in this case, London).
DDLJ has spawned numerous imitations and epitomizes popular Indian cinema today.

 The Hindu : Magazine / Cinema : Revisiting "DDLJ"
"Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge" is about being "Hindustani" but not in a jingoistic fashion.
"DDLJ" dates back to post-"Baazigar" days when Shahrukh still had an antihero image; the Kajol-Shahrukh chemistry was still to take its hold on the imagination of Bollywood; and Karan Johar was making his appearance in the film as Shahrukh's friend — and as one of the assistant directors.
Continuing in the saccharin family-drama tradition of "Maine Pyaar Kiya" and "Hum Aapke Hain Kaun", "DDLJ" transports the story itself to an NRI milieu and then brings it back to the mustard fields to declare that `East or West, Punjab is Best'.

DDLJ was the first contemporary Hindi film to focus on Indian residentsabroad (specifically, in this case, London).
DDLJ has spawned numerous imitations and epitomises popular Indian cinema today.But, as Anupama Chopra points out, it's a paradoxical film which affirms old-fashioned values of pre-marital chastity and family authority, affirming the idea that Westernization need not affect an essential Indian identity.
DDLJ is a far cry from the work of an older generation of film-makers who spoke often against the oppressions of tradition, and sometime proposed radical solutions.

With the help of the police and Manu's girlfriend Lily (Sonali Bendre), who has fallen out of love with Manu and back again with Bablu, the cook is able to rescue his dear ones and all ends well.
Kajol, who has played opposite Shahrukh Khan in the successful movie Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge can be seen as an unknown girl on the exact same railway station as in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (The song Tujhe dekha from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge is played in the background).
When Khan's character Bablu asks her if she wants to marry him she refrains in the exact same way as in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and leaves screen, calling for a man called Raj, presumably the same Raj from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, also played by Shahrukh Khan.

It was their third film together in as many years and they were obviously very close and comfortable with each other and their off-screen closeness reflected so well on screen.
Love had never looked so natural as it was in DDLJ and the young Raj (Shah Rukh Khan) and Simran (Kajol) became household names.
Their peerless performances in DDLJ were well rewarded when they both won the Filmfare Awards for Best Actor and Best Actress for the year 1995 (the film won 10 Filmfare Awards in all including the top four awards of Best Actor, Actress, Film and Director, making it a record-breaking picture!)

 Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge
My other problems with DDLJ are that Raj is so obnoxious/immature/annoying/mean in the first half, and that there is a meaningless fight at the end.  For me, this movie gets a  7/10  -- very average, and definitely overrated.
I did like the conversation between Simran and her mom about not letting the daughter have the same lack of opportunities the mother had though.  Also, The mutual fasting for Karva Chauth was admirable.  And some of the songs are memorable too.
After all, the most common theory of why DDLJ is the hit it is because it rededicates itself to 'Indian-ess' for the NRI crowd (and presumably the domestic audiences as well) and to the notion of some societal values greater than that of simple personal gratification.

DILWALE, or “DDLJ” as the Indian-English press collapsed its unwieldy title, initially appears headed down the same road—as a sour-faced Chaudhury Baldev Singh (Amrish Puri) feeds pigeons in Trafalgar Square while yearning for the green fields of “my land, my Punjab”—but then takes a number of surprising and refreshing turns.
The author analyses two popular Hindi films of the mid-1990s, Dilwale dulhania le jayenge (DDLJ) and Pardes, that thematise the problems of transnational location in respect of courtship and marriage.
DDLJ proposes that Indian family values are portable assets, while Pardes suggests that the loss of cultural identity can be postponed but ultimately not avoided.

Amitabh Bachchan, the star known for his "angry young man" roles, rode the crest of this trend.
In the early 1990s, the pendulum swung back towards family-centric romantic musicals with the success of such films as Hum Aapke Hain Koun (1994) and Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995).
The Indian film industry has preferred films that appeal to all segments of the audience (see the discussion in Ganti, 2004, cited in references), and has resisted making films that target narrow audiences.

In the book Bollywood Cinema by Vijay Mishra he spends a good deal of time on this film in his chapter on the Indian diaspora and its effect on Indian film.
He writes that DDLJ was the first film to fully approach this subject and play intentionally to the overseas Indian population.
But though the film seems to be full of nostalgia for the customs of the home country it gives a conflicting message at the same time as it is those traditions that cause the troubles and that have to be changed for the film to come to a satisfactory ending.
