The best of last decade: Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge!

This film does not actually need any review - because everyone knows about it (kick yourself if you don't!). Imagine, after thirty years, we all will be telling our children (and grandchildren) about this film, about Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. Just as our elders tell us about Shammi Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan! I thought of reviewing this film before we go into the next decade (because a two-decade-old film does not appeal to anyone!).

Raj Malhotra (Shah Rukh Khan) falls in love with Simran a.k.a Saniorita (Kajol). Raj meets Simran's family members and realises that Simran's father will not allow them to marry. Now it is at Raj - how will he wed her, will they be each-other's (Do I need to mention the whole story!?).

There are a few great scenes in the film, the Karva-Chauth scene.

There is no need to mention the fun in the film. All the comedy scenes, like when Raj starts playing the piano with his feet; or when Simran's dad (Amrish Puri) is doing 'Aao' to the pigeons and Raj also starts doing 'Aao' :-) Very funny!

I think Aditya Chopra (the director of this film) is very fond of Shah Rukh and Kajol. In Aditya Chopra's latest (Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi), Shah Rukh and Kajol were both in the star cast (Kajol was in a guest appearance in the song Phir Milenge Chalte-Chalte). In Dil To Pagal Hai and Mohabattein, Shah Rukh was there! Kuch-Kuch Hota Hai, another example of Shah Rukh and Kajol together (but that was not directed by Aditya Chopra). According to this news-report, Shah Rukh and Hritik will be co-stars in Aditya Chopra's next!

The soundtrack to the film is absolutely amazing. The music is given by Jatin-Lalit. Even today, the song Tujhe Dekha To Ye is as popular as it was when the film was released. Here are all the songs:

1. Ho Gaya Hai Tujhko To.

2. Mehndi Laga Ke Rakhna.

3. Zara Sa Jhoom Loon Main.

4. Ruk Jaa O Dil Deewane.

5. Tujhe Dekha To Yeh.

Many people debate on the thing that who is the best - Shah Rukh or Aamir. Well, I don't know the answer. Both actors have their own standards. People say Shah Rukh always does romantic films, but Aamir always tries hand on a different subject. That's not really true. Shah Rukh, too, has done films on other subjects - like Chak De India.

Another point to be noted is that the singer Abhijeet is the voice of Shah Rukh. He had sung Zara Sa Jhoom Loon in this film. And he has sung many other songs for Shah Rukh in other films like Chalte-Chalte, Rab Ne and DDLJ itself. But I would call Sonu Niigaam the voice of SRK. Sonu has sung more songs for SRK than Abhijeet has. But many singers call theirselves the voice of Shah Rukh. I would like to know your opinion instead.

Movie Rating: 4.5/5 (Excellent!). If you are a true filmy-flirt (the defination is available here), you are not supposed to miss this one!

Music Rating: 4.7/5 (Awesome).

Well, finally, here are some best scenes from the movie:
