Highly Overrated But Still Good

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Simran (Kajol) lives in London and is betrothed to the son of her father's best friend in Punjab. The summer before she is to be married, she takes a European rail vacation with friends, and meets Raj (Shah Rukh Khan). They don't realize that they have fallen in love until they have parted. Raj then follows Simran to India, determined to win her father's approval for their marriage.In this romantic comedy/drama, family values and respect for elders is placed in high regard, even while portraying that the most hardened of hearts must be softened in the face of true love. Both Kajol and Khan are excellent in their roles, maturing their characters perfectly. The supporting cast is stellar. While there is no breath-taking choreography, the songs are lovely and memorable. The costumes, cinematography, locations, and sets are all beautifully done. Overall, this is a funny, sweet, and serious movie that is a must- watch for any Bollywood fan.

In Indian films, there are several plots which are practically clichés because they occur so regularly. The most common, it seems, are the two lovers who fall in love but one or both of them are already pledged by their parents to marry another. Because of this, the plot to "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" is anything but original. However, this familiarity is something the Indian audiences love and pay to see. After all, almost ten years AFTER this movie debuted it was STILL playing in some theaters--such is the love of this sort of film in its native land. Since I am not Indian but love Indian films, I took the plot in stride and see this as a film that can be good but cannot be great simply because of the plot. It's a big case of 'been there/done that' as I watched...though the film is enjoyable and has its moments.When the film begins, Raj (Shah Rukh Khan) is supposed to be graduating from college but isn't because he's a bit of an irresponsible but likable rascal. As for his soon to be lady love, Simran (Kajol) is quite the opposite--very responsible and dependable. However, when they both go on vacations through Europe from their homes in the UK, you KNOW that soon they'll get together but the journey will, of course, be a rocky one. Because the movie is over three hours long, you know they cannot quickly fall for each other--and Raj's devil-may-care ways naturally rub Simran the wrong way...and they battle each other but always end up coming back to each other in the end. And you KNOW they are now in love because they take time to do musical interludes where they both talk about their love for each other. But, given the formula, the cannot get together...at least not yet. Simran is supposed to get married to a man her father chose for her and she's supposed to head to India to marry once this vacation is complete.As I already mentioned a couple times, this film is very predictable and formulaic. But, it works better than it should because Shah Rukh Khan is very good as a likable sort of jerk. This is a tough balancing act because I've seen other Indian films with nearly identical plots where the guy is insufferable and easy to hate. Here, Khan manages to pull it off well. So did I love the film? No. I liked it and think it's worth seeing. The ending was particularly nice. But I don't, for the life of me, understand why it has as strong an appeal as it did in India. But what do I know?! At least I liked and enjoyed it.

This story seemed like a continuation of the story of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai where unrequited love again shows up as a chance meeting on an away trips for a group of young students. Likeness in culture prevails, and a bond forms between a Indian boy trying to protect for modern civilization the young Indian girl out in society overwhelmed. The two bond and fell in love only to be informed that a marriage is being arranged for the girl. The story is about the things that the boy does to either decide whether his feelings are strong enough to try to stop the wedding or kind and compassionate enough as a new friend of the future groom's to encourage a good marriage for someone he wanted to protect. His emotions took first place and he ruins the marriage and "runs away with the bride" giving retrospect to the title,"Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" This again is the beauty of the Indian film, to show on screen the whimsical to those that might have said what if? So that they laugh and look beside them and remember that someone showed up for them already, someone that cared enough to share the hurt or happiness of such emotions, the already husband or wife.
