Aditya Chopra’s Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ) turned 30 on October 20. Vikram Bhatt decodes the timeless allure of Aditya Chopra’s Dilwale Dulhania Le JayengeSpeaking on the film’s imperishable supremacy, filmmaker Vikram Bhatt says, “I have often thought about this. Then came HAHK, and suddenly every film had to have Dil or Hum in it: Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Dil To Pagal Hai, Hum Saath-Saath Hain, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. I remember how my film Dil Pe Mat Le Yaar was first called Nau Do Gyarah. My memory may not be a popular one, but it’s mine — shaped not by what the world celebrated, but by what it quietly left behind.”Thirty years later, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge remains more than just a love story.
