Raj Shahrukh Khan is a rich, carefree, happy-go-lucky second generation NRI. Simran Kajol is the daughter of Chaudhary Baldev Singh Amrish Puri, who in spite of being an NRI is very strict about adherence to Indian values. The two meet on a month long Eurotrip, and what began as pranks and fun and games, ends in love. But by the time they realize it, it is already too late, as Simran has left for India to be married to her childhood fiancé. Raj leaves for India with a mission at his hands, to claim his lady love under the noses of her whole family. Thus begins a saga which will make you laugh, cry, and goose-bump you with emotion. Come , fall in Love.
A romantic anecdote of second-generation Indians living in Britain who are strongly attached to the traditional values of Indian culture. The frolicking of the lovers in Europe is followed by Raj's struggle to win over the hearts of every member of Simran's family so that they allow him to marry her.
Chowdary Baldev Singh is settled in London with his wife Lajjo and two daughters, Simran and Chutki. Despite living abroad for more than 20 years, he still strongly believes in Indian traditions, so he arranges Simran's marriage with his friend's son Kuljeet in Punjab, India. Raj, the loafing, care-free son of an NRI, Dharamveer Malhotra, and Simran accidentally meet and fall in love while traveling with their friends through Europe. When Baldev Singh finds out that Simran is in love, he decides to pack and leave for India. Madly in love, Raj comes to India in search of her. His plans to impress Baldev Singh fail. Simran wants to elope but is stopped. The rest of movie is about how Raj is successful in taking his bride by working his way into Kuljeet's family to get to Simran. The film has elements of the hit film 'Hum Aapke Hain Koun...!' particularly in the scenes of the engagement. A touching family drama with good and catchy music numbers from Jatin-Lalit, the film includes the songs "Tuje dekha to yeh jana sanam," "Mehndi laga ke rakhna," "Doli sajake rakhna," and the title song.
Raj is the only son of wealthy and London-based Dharamvir Malhotra, is given complete freedom to indulge himself, and does so with women and beer, which lands him in hot soup now and then. He meets with Simran, and after a few misunderstandings, both are attracted to each other. Simran's father, Chaudhry Baldev Singh, would like Simran to re-locate to India and marry the son of his childhood buddy, Ajit Singh, to which she reluctantly agrees. When Raj finds out that Simran has left London, he too leaves, and ends up in her village. He meets her and together they concoct a scheme in which he will befriend Kuljeet and be invited as a guest to his forthcoming wedding, which succeeds. The problem is that Baldev recognizes Raj, who had purchased beer in his London store and mocked him, and to make matters worse, Kuljeet's attractive sister, Preeti, has fallen head-over-heels in love with Raj and wants to marry him. Now Raj must decide to carry on this charade and get engaged to Preeti while waiting for Simran to get married to Kuljeet.
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge Preview
A rich, rascal and nincompoop Raj falls in love with a pretty and docile Simran. There's opposition but love wins in the end.
That's Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge in a nutshell. The film had a rich repertoire of performances. Shah Rukh and Kajol apart, there was Anupam Kher, Amrish Puri, Fareeda Jalal, Satish Shah, Parmeet Sethi Himani Shivpuri, all providing for a rare variety of entertainment.
DDLJ was a departure from the earlier love stories in some ways. Usually love stories had rebellious and defying lovers who broke shackles of caste, class and race barriers to unite. There was clear disrespect for elders, especially parents, who more often than not served as stumbling blocks.
DDLJ broke this norm. The young lovers in the film refuse to annoy the opposing father of the girl. The hero even says that he will not do anything against his wishes.
