DVD Reviews of Dilwale Dulhania Le JayengeDVD Review: Sweet Story in typical Kajol/SRK fashion Summary: 4 StarsI find it pretty funny how he starts out being quite an anti-hero (rude, party-focused, and quite the prankster), but in the end he can win everyone over as his "Hindustani" traits appear. His playboy charm is used to the best of his advantage in his desire to win the love of someone who is already engaged... but not in love with her fiance.
DVD Review: Classic Summary: 5 StarsA Bollywood staple. A sweet story, great acting, good songs and a happy ending. I wold recommend this to anyone starting to watch Bollywood films as a typical film of the genre. It is a little cheesy of course but a true romantic will fall in love with it.
DVD Review: A Modern Classic Summary: 5 StarsNothing much better than Kajol and Shah Rukh together in this modern classic. The soundtrack is wonderful and there are some really hilarious scenes in this movie. These two have great chemistry.
DVD Review: Better than other garbage Bollywood churns out Summary: 2 StarsI am Indian and am a big fan of movies made by Shyam Benegal, Satyajit Ray, Deepa Mehta, Meera Nair, and their ilk.
DDLJ started the entire genre of India Shining movies. Such movies tyically show very rich Indians or Indians settled aborad. In that sense they are completely unrepresentative of Indian society. In short they are shallowness epitomized.
Shah Ruck Khan is a horrible actor - he always has the same expression on his face which he had in his first movie 'Darr' . I have a huge crush on Kajol, hence I am giving this movie two stars and not one which is rightly deserves.
PS: Music is not bad, but nothing compared to music of R D Burman, or that of movies like Devdas.
DVD Review: World class values in a Hindi film Summary: 5 StarsStep into a world where love is real and violence is pretend. This is my sixth watched Hindi film and I am now a total convert. Bring on the silliness, bring on the songs, bring on the dancing and bring on the drums. I can't get enough of any of it! Thousands of years of Hindi civilization does mean something, really. When I watch a Hindi film I feel better. When I watch it again I feel better yet. My wife loves the men and I love the women and our own little world is a better place because of these films.
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge features characters who are transplanted Indians living in England who suffer from "absence makes the heart grow fonder" syndrome. In their longing for Mother India they so much want to be more Hindustani than Hindustanis. Because of this, they are almost pathologically caught up in the tradition of arranged marriages as proof of this truth. The absolutely stunning irony is that the "real" Indians are hunting doves from horseback like something the English would do. It's brilliant, yes?
