As I already mentioned a couple times, this film is very predictable and formulaic. Simran is supposed to get married to a man her father chose for her and she's supposed to head to India to marry once this vacation is complete. But, given the formula, the cannot get together.at least not yet. And you KNOW they are now in love because they take time to do musical interludes where they both talk about their love for each other.
#KAJOL DILWALE DULHANIA LE JAYENGE MOVIE#
Because the movie is over three hours long, you know they cannot quickly fall for each other-and Raj's devil-may-care ways naturally rub Simran the wrong way.and they battle each other but always end up coming back to each other in the end. However, when they both go on vacations through Europe from their homes in the UK, you KNOW that soon they'll get together but the journey will, of course, be a rocky one. As for his soon to be lady love, Simran (Kajol) is quite the opposite-very responsible and dependable. When the film begins, Raj (Shah Rukh Khan) is supposed to be graduating from college but isn't because he's a bit of an irresponsible but likable rascal.
It's a big case of 'been there/done that' as I watched.though the film is enjoyable and has its moments. Since I am not Indian but love Indian films, I took the plot in stride and see this as a film that can be good but cannot be great simply because of the plot. After all, almost ten years AFTER this movie debuted it was STILL playing in some theaters-such is the love of this sort of film in its native land. However, this familiarity is something the Indian audiences love and pay to see. Because of this, the plot to "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" is anything but original. The most common, it seems, are the two lovers who fall in love but one or both of them are already pledged by their parents to marry another. We even see a slight increase in the audience during the weekend,” Desai said.In Indian films, there are several plots which are practically clichés because they occur so regularly. We take all the necessary precautions and make people sit alternately. Nothing else is really working in the other shows of Maratha Mandir, so we are surviving only on this one show. On a daily basis, we get an occupancy of around 200 to 300 people (total theatre capacity of 1100). “We started screening Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge again in Maratha Mandir from November.
Manoj Desai, Executive Director of G7 Multiplex & Marathi Mandir told Pinkvilla that they register an occupancy of 200 to 300 people every day even now for the 11:30 am show. However, most of them have been struggling to bring back the audience to the big screens.ĭDLJ still manages to attract loyal viewers. The Maharashtra government granted permission for 50 per cent seating in cinema halls. Theatre owners have now resumed showing the film from November 2020, after cinemas were allowed to reopen. The romantic drama starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol that released in 1995 has had a record-making run at the theatre. For the first time in over 25 years of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’s run in Mumbai’s Maratha Mandir cinema, screening had to be stopped due to the pandemic.
