Directed by Aditya Chopra. Stars Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, and Amrish Puri.
Dilwale Dulaniya Le Jayenge, or DDLJ as it is known, is a 1995 Bollywood film that stars Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan as a young couple that meet and fall in love. She, however, is engaged to a rich man back in her hometown, so he vows that he's going to come and win over her family so they will agree to their marriage instead. I was first introduced to this movie in the film A Nice Indian Boy, where it's held up as the pinnacle of idealized romance for our main character, and I totally get it. It is beautifully put together. The characters are so delightful, the dance and musical numbers are some of the best that I've seen... it is impeccably created. I love these characters and how sweet they are together and how kind they are to the people around them while they're trying to make this work. If you like either rom coms or musicals, it's a really great one if you haven't seen it. It's one that I think I'm going to come back to again and again.
