Sam Adams Philadelphia City Paper 11/18/2021
Though American movies have largely discarded the family melodrama as passé, DDLJ reminds us of the genre's potency, its ability to stage social and generational conflicts. Go to Full Review
Charles Taylor Salon.com 11/18/2021
It's a flawed, contradictory movie -- aggressive and tender, stiff and graceful, clichéd and fresh, sophisticated and naive, traditional and modern. It's also, I think, a classic. Go to Full Review
Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express 08/17/2021
Aditya Chopra's first film deep-sixed all ideas of rebellious young love, using NRI nostalgia as a hook, and gave Shah Rukh Khan his most successful film... Go to Full Review

DDLJ’s seductive charms lent a deceptive lustre to its strategically packaged ultra-conservatism. Go to Full Review
Katherine Singh Refinery29 10/04/2022
Seriously, 25 years after its release, it’s still being shown in a theater in Mumbai. If you’re going to watch one Bollywood movie, make it this one. Go to Full Review

Bernice C @Nick.Josephs 1d The makers of DDLJ weren't lying when they said come fall in love, because that's exactly what happened to me at the end of the movie. See more Lady G Sep 17 Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge is a beautiful love story that blends tradition and modern life. Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol’s chemistry makes the film very special. With memorable songs and heartfelt moments, it’s a timeless classic I love watching once a year. See more Tripti D Aug 23 The most beautiful movie I have ever wached in my life... it's already been many years but still evergreen in my heart.. hope srkajol will make such more movies together in future.. See more Aditya S May 17 Yes, it's long. Yes, it streches at times, and yes, the ending it melodramatic. But everything else is so good that you will be able to ignore this. SRK and Kajol's chemistry, of course, is the best part of this film, but the film will make you connect with both Raj and Simran and make you emotional when they unite. Loved Amrish Puri as well. See more Vidyut I Dec 19 DDLJ is an absolute masterpiece. SRK and Kajol's Chemistry is absolutely amazing. Acting is also superb. Great direction by Aditya Chopra in his directorial Debut. Late actor Amrish Puri as always had a great performance in this film. Well-deserved 30+ year run for DDLJ in Maratha Mandir in Mumbai. It is still running today. although some scenes are considered unnecessary, they still tied into the movie very well. See more 10/20/2024 The best romantic comedy ever. You fall in love with Raj and Simran. Raj naughty, plyful and charming, Simran beautiful, naïve and innocent. Every single song and dance number are great, they stay with you for ever. Well done Aditya Chopra. If you want to watch a love story that just makes you feel good and happy, DDLJ is perfect. See more Read all reviews
