Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge (DDLJ) is a love story that surely needs no introduction. It is about Raj (Shahrukh Khan) and Simran (Kajol), and how his love for her helps him to win not only her, but her family as well.
In the decade that focused on the love tales that concluded with elopement, DDLJ refreshingly focused on core Indian values. Raj could have eloped with Simran, but he chose the hard way out. He insisted on marrying her only by her father’s permission. He did everything possible to make sure to get the strict, conservative father’s blessings. And, he finally got it too.
The most memorable scene- You have to watch it, to feel it!
