Ruk Ja O Dil Diwane-DDLJ, Pooja Gupta

My absolute favorite part of DDLJ was the song sequence of Ruk Ja O Dil Diwane. Not only is the song a catchy and fun number, but it also allows us to see Raj in a new light. Until this point in the film, Raj is depicted as an easygoing, carefree man; he’s immature and […]

One such relationship is the father-daughter relationship between Chaudhary Baldev Singh (Simran’s father) and Simran. Baldev is introduced as a strict, disciplined […]

A Powerful Story- julia Salomon

“DDLJ” was my fist official Bollywood movie. I was not sure exactly what to expect before I saw the film. All that I knew for sure was that there would be cheesy dialogue and it would have a very shallow plot line. However, now that I finished the film I realize how wrong I was. […]

“The Enduring Power of DDLJ, 17 Years On”

With very little exposure to the world of Bollywood prior to this class, watching DDLJ was a bit like sampling a new, foreign food. I wasn’t sure how I would react to the overt displays of spectacle, the melodramatic acting and plotlines, and the extremely long length of the film. However, once the film had […]

Bollywood’s similarity to K-Drama, Rebekah Lee

I have never watched any Bollywood films before, but Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, also known as DDLJ, was a great introduction.  Watching the film, it reminded me a lot about Korean dramas, k-dramas for short.  Korean dramas are known to be unrealistic and dramatic as well with love stories, whether they are about arranged marriages […]
