DDLJ - The Movie - The Magic!!

"Movies and magic"..rare combination actually!!! But Dilwale Duulhaniya Le Jaayenge (DDLJ) still continues to create ripples in box-office history. The superlative success of this film has been its simple story which has touched one and all.
Year 1995...Diwali time then....Yash Chopa banner...Aditya Chopra's debut....the unkempt Shahrukh....the non-glam Kajol...melodious Jatin-Lalit music all combined together to form a sure-shot boxoffice hit!!! The UK-Punjab love story keeps you rivetted in your seat throughout til date. But what also stood out was the acting of the supporting cast in the movie which by no means, can be neglected. Amrish Puri, Farida Jalal, Anupam Kher were all amazing and each and every character can be related to.
The names of the main characters, Raj and Simran, almost became household names. There was awesome chemistry between the lead pair and to date, I consider them to be the best onscreen pair!!
I have seen the movie almost 50 times now...so I almost have the dialogues memorised by now...:p!!

My favourite scenes in the movie:

1) Kajol asking permission from her dad for the Europe tour.

2) SRK and Amrish Puri feeding the pigeons together.

3) SRK telling Anupam Kher about his failing in the law exams.

4) SRK asking Kajol as to how come she's not seen the person whom she was gonna be married to.

5) Kajol's mom telling her to run away with SRK and how SRK convinces otherwise.

I guess I'm almost writing a movie review 10 years down the lane...:p!!! Anyways, better late than never...;)
