Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

smzr Best romantic movie ever created. Never seen such a great movie.

Gypsi Bates 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.

Ali A. Momin I don't know if it's just me but I find quite a resemblance in the two movies except for the endings of course. But the whole idea of two strangers meeting in an unfamiliar place(or a train as in both situations) and then finding that connection, is quite similar in both situations. Not to forget, even the clothes they are wearing are same. The situations they get themselves into, the church,the beautiful locales and everything. It looked that simple to me, take a great idea, 'Bollywoodify' it and there you go, you have a blockbuster. Plagiarism needs to be looked into. I am looking for times in bollywood where they at least acknowledge the source of their Idea. Like they picked Dead Poets Society and made a Mohabbatein out of it.The Music is one of the highlights of the movie. Watch it if you are a SRK fanboy. If you want to watch a good love story watch "Before Sunrise" where the idea of DDLJ came from,according to me! If you want a movie that's just to watch, enjoy and forget watch DDLJ. It just doesn't stay with you like Before Sunrise.I may seem like a bit partial towards Before Sunrise but I am sure if you watch both the movies, you wouldn't agree more.

Ben Franklin Bollywood has changed a lot over the last two decades. Production values have increased dramatically and that cheesiness that was so typical of old Bollywood films has been toned down somewhat and replaced by a professionalism that is often on a par with Hollywood. So how does this 20 year old film stack-up?In short, it is brilliant. Yes, it is has a certain kitschness. It has musical interludes that are so cheesy you almost want to laugh, and some of the acting is pretty questionable. But at the same time there's something sublime about the film. Somehow, the kitschness, the cheesiness and the low-budget production seems to have come together to create a work of art that will live on for decades to come.Raj and Simran, the male and female leads, are endearing. The support cast are very good. The story line, whilst at times being predictable, also has some clever little twists and turns, and by the end of it you feel like you've watched a movie that will stay with you for many years to come, which I guess answers why Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge has such enduring popularity.Is it perfect? Definitely not. Is it worth watching? If you enjoy a little light-hearted, Bollywood romantic-comedy then that would be a definite yes.
