DILWALE WHAT?
+++++++++++++++
"Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" means "The Bravehearted Will Take the Bride". Don't laugh at my title, it's actually the tagline used for advertising this film, I think the second bit was added as so many people went to see the film over and over again! By the way, it's a Bollywood film, i.e. it's in Hindi.
CAST/CREDITS

Advantages: Very appealing storyline as feelgood romantic movie. Disadvantages: It looks a bit outdated now and a couple of fashion mistakes.
This movie is one I watched as a kid. I have to say I loved the movie, the story is very sweet and has an excellent flow to it. It seems to ease from one part of the story to the other seamlessly.
For those who are not familiar with Indian culture, the outfits, the songs and the marriage ceremonies and functions will be fascinating.
The love story is adorable, the two characters so likeable and believeable, that they would fall so madly in love ... ...performance outdid Kajol's. He is a natural actor, with the on-screen presence to keep the audience looking at him.
There is one recommendation if you are going to watch this movie for the first time. It is somewhat old now dating back to the early-mid 90's so you must be open minded to the big hair, monobrow of the lead actress and general fashion mistakes here and there.
Bollywood movies tend to be a bit cheesy and unrealistic but this one has ...

Advantages: This is the best film in history Disadvantages: Long if you are not useed to watching Indian films.
This is by far the best film in the history of bollywood and I'm not exadurating. The performance from Shah Rukh Khan was great. The polt of the film is a bit like this, SRK is the son of a rich father, Kajol is the daughter of a middle class family, they are both from London, they go on a trip of europe and fall in love. Kajol's dad finds out and decids that he is going to take her back to india and get her married to her cousin like they had actually ... ...follows. He decides not to run away with her but rather makes friends with the guy that Kajol is going to get married to, and the rest of the story is what I'm going to leave for you to watch and enjoy. All the songs in this film are good. My best song has to be Rukh Ja, although many people like the song doli sajja kay rakhna. Well everbody has thier own choice, but one thing is for sure, This is a film to watch, couse you'll enjoy it. ...

Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, is still considered one of the best movie's of its time.

When the question of marriage arises it has to be arrange because daddy deary has fixed it with his best freinds son. What about love ? simran cant get married to anyone if she dosent love him and yes ... ...but shahrukh khan who by using his sweet charming looks win's most of the family over, however there's a catch what about the father? the second half of the movie is filled with entertainment, fun and way of how a boy can win over his girl friends family? This movie should be seen and boys can also take a few pointers from shahrukh! ...
