 My fav hindi movie.. May 9, 2005

OK, I'm an Indian and like many other indians I too love this movie and so you might think this is an biased review. But far from it,as even though its been 10 years since this movie was released ,no hindi movie has since come close to matching this ones greatness. I'm sure Indian readers wont be needing this review, so I will write this review for the Western readers.
For starters all hindi movies are musicals, i.e they involve song and dance numbers. I do not know why, but it has always been this way. So if you like musicals you will fall in love with this movie as the music is top notch and excellently choreographed and blends in well very well with the situation.
This is a love story to begin with and a very good one, that too. Though the storyline is familiar, boy falls in love with a girl, girl's dad is the pain in the butt,boy tries hard to win the girl and finally wins over the girl :), what sets this movie apart is the sizzling chemistry between SRK and Kajol and honest performances from the entire star cast. And I guess what appealed to the masses is that unlike in other movies, the hero does NOT run away with the girl nor does he use violence as means to justify his love for the girl. So then how does he win the girl ? Well for that you will have to watch the entire movie. So come and fall in love with the movie.
"In Big Places, Such Small Things Happen" ~ Love Versus Tradition May 18, 2007

Note: Hindi with English subtitles.
`Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' (translation: "The brave heart will take the bride") was released in `95 and is unquestionably one of the most beloved Indian films ever to come out of Bollywood. This Yash Raj comedy, romance, drama stars the incomparable Shah Rukh Khan and the beautiful Kajol as two young British Hindustani's, Raj and Simran, who meet during a one month European vacation. Things do not start out well for the two, but slowly the ongoing banter of dislike and ridicule between them transforms into friendship and finally so much more. Unfortunately Simran is leaving for India soon after their return to England where she will fulfill her Father's wishes and be wed to a stranger in a pre-arranged marriage. Will Raj follow her to the Motherland in hopes of stopping the wedding and claiming Simran for himself? If he does who will win out in the end, Love or Tradition?
I guess 1.1 billion Indians can't be wrong. Shah Rukh and Kajol are perfectly matched as foils and lovers, they are absolutely marvelous together. Watch and see two of the biggest stars in the world in top form, you'll love it too!
Excellent! September 12, 2004

This is such a great film! My husband and I caught it when it was shown on TCM's Bollywood night last year. If you love musicals and are curious about seeing a Bollywood movie, you should make this the first one you watch. The acting is cheesey at times but when there are heartfelt emotional scenes, the acting is top notch. Its easy to see that this was (and still is) a hit. The movie is a little on the long side but when you get into the movie, the time flies and is worth the time you spent watching it.
ONE OF THE BEST! February 4, 2007

I'm not Hindustani. But this movie and most of the Bollywood movies make me so jealous that I'm not! I LOVE HINDI FILMS...(or BOLLYWOOD movies!) If you haven't seen any..you are in for a treat. The dancing, the singing, the costumes, the actors...marvelous!
Sometimes the style may be a bit hard for Americans to take....because they are often not "realistic". But I LOVE the way they highlight love and family. So many of the joys of life and the virtues that make life worth living...these are in these movies! Bollywood people really know how to make movies. Hollywood movies could only dream of coming EVEN close!
The actors are handsome and absolutely entrancing...and the actresses are the most beautiful in the world! The costumes are gorgeous...makes one wish we could dress that way!
The whole family will LOVE this movie...clean and fun! Worth the work of reading the subtitles! But...be careful..these movies are addictive!
This movie has two of the most amazing of their stars...when they were just starting out...they get even better as they mature! Dil is heart...Braveheart Carries Away the Bride.
Don't miss one of the best of Bollywood!

First, let me explain the literal English translation of this film's title. It is 'The Corageous One Will take Home the Bride'. A title, surely, that could only be used in Bollywood (which personally I like to call Hindi Film due to the continuous misuse of the word).
It is the sweet story of Simran (Kajol, an actress whom I now love)who is a 20-year-old Indian living with her family, a strict father (Om Puri)a kind mother and a philosophical 12-year-old sister. She dreams of falling in love et-al but agrees to an arranged marriage organised by her father.
it is also the story of Raj, a lazy party dude with a millionaire dad. They both end up on a Eurail train, Simran with a lot of sweat from her dad, and hate each other. However, they eventually fall in love. But when Simran's dad hears, she is rushed to Punjab for her marriage to Kuljit, a spoilt son who likes shoting things and planning to cheat on his wife.
Raj, being the Hindi Hero abd this being a Masala Movie, comes to Punjab to rescue Simi and come back hometo London with her As His Bride, ie married to him. However he doesn't realize about Simran's dad, who will NOT cancel the wedding. But, he does. All's well that end's well!
It's a 'fluffy' movie as other reviews hve poited out, but as a Bollywood fan I'm used to it. The acting is good in the love scenes and Om puri is gr8. I always feel little pags on my heart. if you're into hindi filmi music, it's good, and Shah Rukh, as my cousin put it is "cute" and she "would marry a guy like that". She also enjoyed 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai', which I would most heartily reccomend to anyone who would enjoy this movie with some slapstick.
After watching this, i think a lot of peoplle will be Converted to Hndi films like I was. i feel it is important to learn about other countries' cultures and industries. I am glad that Amazon is starting to make thhese films more avaliable now.
