Aditya Chopra’s "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" is a romantic foray of what Bollywood has been known for for ages. Raj(Shah Rukh Khan) is a rich Londoner.
He wishes goes Europe for a month’s vacation. Simran(Kajol), also from London, does the same. After Raj and Simran play jokes on each other, Raj finally makes her miss her train and they are stuck alone in the mountains of Europe. By the time they both come back, the both fall in love with each other. But Simran’s marriage has been arranged with another person in India, Kamaljeet(Parmeet Sethi). Now Raj has to win Simran from her father, Chaudhry Baldev Singh(Amrish Puri), who has done this typical Indian deed.
Shahrukh Khan does a wonderful job, in both his dancing and his acting. Kajol is charming, but seems to be getting on the chubbier side. Nevertheless, they are superb to watch exuding chemistry that seems that it will last for a long time. The film works largely because of them considering that the script is based solely on the romance of these two young characters. Their scenes together and the build up to their romance are what takes up most of the film. Had their not been the beauty of their pairing, the film would have probably turned out much different.
