Crazy credits The movie had a special credit for suggesting the movie's name and the credit was for Kirron Kher. Connections Featured in Ninne Pelladatha User reviews Review. Top review. First mainstream Bollywood film. I'm not going to get too much into reviewing the story of this movie, most of the other reviews are covering that for you.
Honestly I don't remember too much the story that well anyways beyond the basics. Besides this is a Bollywood film, you know the melodramatic story of a boy and girl who fall in love against their parents wishes.
I'll stick to a more cultural commentary. I remember 's Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge being a good movie that dealt with second generation Indians living in England. This was a funny film that struck a chord with younger Indians living in Western countries around the world, and it was an obvious smash hit in India as well.
Let me say that every country in the world has something "cool" or "bad ass" about it. But India has often had the most uncool, nerdy stereotypes about it. When I was growing up in the 80s and 90s, most of the representation of Indians in Western culture was limited to Apu from The Simpsons. Taxi drivers, convenience store clerks, curry, cow worshipers, more curry, thick English accents, effeminate men and hairy women, What kind of crazy kid wanted to be Indian?
If I could have gotten away with passing myself off as a Mexican, I probably would have tried it. But then there was Bollywood, showcasing the beautiful people of India that could dance and sing just as good as anyone on MTV. This was the cool side to India.
It made India look beautiful, exotic, young, hip and cultured. One of the biggest audiences for Bollywood flicks outside of India had traditionally been Indian girls. Older audiences obviously watched too, but young Indian women growing up in America have always been keen to Bollywood, many years before the arrival of DDLJ. Bollywood models, gharba dances, since as long as I can remember Indian girls immediately zeroed in on knowing that Bollywood was a cool piece of Indian pop culture that non-Indians didn't have access too or couldn't immediately claim as "theirs".
Instead of being impenetrably "foreign", this industry made India look much more "exotic". I suppose it's the better balance to all those National Geographic specials that showed nomads in India eating the most disgusting things imaginable. Like all Indian movies, Bollywood flicks are overacted with dumb plots and idiotic fight scenes, but it involves outrageously beautiful people dancing and singing and that's always going to be cool.

In fact, for many outsiders, this film is the first-word association with Bollywood.
Featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in the lead roles, the flick is all about finding and fighting for your love. However, there are a few interesting details about the film that many people don't know. One of the most surprising details about the film is Shah Rukh Khan was not being the first pick for the lead role, it was actually Tom Cruise.
The Hollywood actor is one of the most loved stars in India and DDLJ's director Adiya Chopra wished to make a film that starred a foreigner in the lead. The conceptualisation of the film was also different at the time as Adiya wanted a story in which a foreigner arrives in Punjab and then falls in love.
