A personal reflection on my journey in the pursuit of meaning

Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge

3h 9m

1995

Aditya Chopra

10/10

A classic must watch Bollywood film. The chemistry between Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan is incredible. The movie retains your attention from the beginning to the end with the notable songs and iconic scenes. This movie is filled with memorable quotes and scenes that will stay with the viewer long after the movie is over. After the movie ended I was left wanting to see more of Shah Rukh and Kajol together. The movie is long but the plot has so much substance that I did not find it a drag at any point and was left wondering at the end on where did the time go. Amrish Puri really embodies the role of the father and serves as a great antagonist against the couple, he is not hated as you understand his motives and his stern atmosphere definetley rubs off on the viewer. This is a go to comfort movie and I urge everyone to watch it. The songs are all iconic and memorable and serve as a great backdrop to the film. This is just a bloody good film.
