DDLJ target audience were youngsters whereas HAHK was towards family audience. Also DDLJ had that NRI story going, Most of these youngsters are on internet hence DDLJ has more publicity. Also YRF has big hand in keeping that movie in limelight by keep on running it in maratha Mandir.

HAHK was truly iconic. HAHK brought back families to the theater. That era was dominated by VHS. and action movies or double meaning comedy movies. HAHK was a true family drama in a long long time.HAHK was responsible for all saas-bahu serials on TV😆..

Rajshri released HAHK in only one theater in Mumbai (Liberty) for 4-5 weeks. We are crying on IF dilwale got only 3000 screens but HAHK had only 1 screen in Mumbai. Rajshri used to check if theater is fit for family audience and then they used to release the movie there.

Unbelievable marketing for the movie...as a kid i still remember lighting on the screen going on for each songs...ambulance outside theaters...some people used to faint when Renuka Shahne fell down from stairs in the movie...Long queues for advance booking for almost a year even after the release...it was crazy...

I have not seen such craze for any movie till now...I have heard some crazy stories about Sholay and jai Santoshi Maa from my parents but i think HAHK tops all of them.

Don't care what anyone says... While I really really liked HAHK, but it cannot compete with my love for DDLJ! Sure HAHK was a huge hit at that time and ofcourse the credit goes to MAdz, Sallu and Barjatiyas... but a movie that has been going on the screens since 1995 has to have something great about it! It was a simple love story which touched hearts of millions! And it still continues to do! I wait for the day when I will get to watch DDLJ on the big screen!

hahk is the only movie that i have watched more than ten times... ahh! hahk ❤️

what ??? todays audience opt for DDLJ over HAHK ? hilarious !! then why would DW ,which was marketed as DDLJ 2 got flopped ?ROFL

i think the two movies should nt be compared..

HAHK is loved by married ppl n senior ppl
kind of mature romance ..so they can bear that
shaadi n rasam drama n sit through it patiently..


while ddlj has a touch of home sickness of NRI
+ young at heart romance..how to nt run away
from home bt convince the parents..so may be
this is why it has relevant dominance even now
as its ageless type romance..

another new thing introduced by DDLJ was perhaps that
they showed father son as a friend n mother daughter as
best friend the concept of parents being ur friends is
luring enough for us where as HAHK clearly showed
respect ur elders wishes n say yes to their yes n no
to their no so basically fear n respect ur parents n hide
ur feelings from them..sacrifice ur personal happiness
types..bt ddlj showed if parents are friends then
life is a gift n blessing 😳

I liked/loved both films...but DDLJ is kind of more iconic...

I love both the movies but Please DDLJ is of course more iconic , its a cult classic ..be it palat or the last train scene ..or the dialogues everything is classic .Raj and Simran remains one of the most iconic couples till now .

What are you trying to say? Dilwale was never DDLJ2, Srk and Kajol said it several times in their interview. They both are indirectly diff movies

And Dilwale can never be compared with DDLJ for obvious reasons.
