Wow!!! lovely topic!!!
DDLJ is my favourite film, and till date no other film has been able to replace it...i don't know what made me fall in luv with this film, was it Raj, SImran, both or what? its simplicity appealed to me...i still have a smile on my face when i just hear the name...even today,whenever they show the film on TV, i still watch it with the same interest...
- What did you like about the movie (if anything at all)?
i believe the film was a complete package, be it the love story, relationships, songs, picturisation, timing, everything was just so perfect!!! n it made me a die hard SRK-Kajol fan...
- If you didn't like it, why didn't you?
I loved the film, so this question is not valid for me atleastš.
- Any scene you really liked? Why?
There are many scenes, a few of my favourite scenes- where SRK says "Raj beta agar yeh tujhse pyaar karti hai, toh paltengi, palat...palat" n then Kajol turns back, i still remember clapping in the theatre when this scene had come.
The countless times SRK says,"bade bade desho mein aisi chote chote baatein hote rahte hai"
SRK, Kajol, Farida Jalal scene where Farida tells SRK to run away with Kajol...ššš...
Amrish Puri n Kajol scene, where Kajol takes his permission to tour Europe....i found it really emotional....
Amrish Puri n SRK, kabutar scenesšš...
the karvachauth sceneš³
the scene where SRK(Raj) asks Kajol(Simran), 'pyaar karti ho mujhse,bharosa hai..."
the climax scene where Raj's truth is revealed, Babuji slaps Raj, n Simi cums running down the stairs...tat scene was too gud...
Finally the scene where babuji says,'ja Simran ja...iss ladke se jyaada pyaar tujhe koi nahi kar sakta...!!!"
Anupam Kher n SRK interaction...
- What was your favorite song in the movie?
All the songs...particulary Tujhe dekha toh yeh jaana sanam...i also liked ghar aaja pardesi tera desh bulaye re....
- Why do you think it's considered a classic?
i don't think another DDLJ can ever be created, nor can we ever have another Raj-Simran jodi,ever...maybe thats why its considered a classic....
- Talk about the characters (not just Raj and Simran).
Raj: SRK as Raj was just too gud, he made me lugh, he made me cry...his character was imperfect yet it seemed so perfect. he was a spoilt brat, yet he knew his limitations...he carried a different aura n charisma which is uncomparable...Kudos to SRK....
Simran: What should i say about Kajol, she was simply brilliant, her interactions with not only SRK, but also Farida n Amrish made us fall for her...she was simply brilliant in all the scenes...
Babuji:Amrish Puri, he was the perfect babuji, strict yet caring, in the end like a typical father,all that mattered to him was his family n childrens happiness...
Farida Jalal: Perfect mom...she symbolised a true Indian mom to many, her helpness for her daughters happiness just to satisfy her husbands ego was too gud...her motherly presence did the trick!!!!
Chutki: Kajol's younger sis...man, she was too gud speaking her ,'Ms Lucy..." one liners...even wen she said,'...mujhe yeh jhatwala jyada acha lagta hai..."
Anupam Kher: his comic timing was too gud, specially wen he was responnsible for the confusion between Preeti n Simran...
Satish Shah:even though a small cameo...his work was effortless n too gud...
Parmeet Sethi: his first film, and he impressed, still remember his gabroo jawan antics...too gud...
Mandira Bedi: her first film, decent job done...
dadiji: she was too gud...
Hemani Shivpuri: she rocked as buaji...
cameos by others like Kajol's friends, KJo, Anand, then the family at Punjab, the swiss chakoo, the cow's bell...made this film really memorable...Aditya Chopra, full credit to you!!!!
