Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge turns 25: On the act of looking back at tradition, love and rebellion
FirstpostAditya Chopra’s iconic Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge turns 25 at a time when the world is as conflicted as it was when the film originally released — between the past and the future. In the first half of DDLJ, when Raj insists that Simran stay in Switzerland with him after the two missed the train to London, she looks back when the engine hoots and says, “I don’t want to miss the train again.” As she walks back to board, Raj says to her in his head, “Palat!”. Back in India, Simran keeps hearing a distant yet unrelenting tune, a possible indicator of Raj’s arrival. In the end, once Raj turns his back to a violent conflict with Simran’s family and chooses to leave in a train instead, she chases him when the engine hoots. As Simran runs and grabs hold of Raj’s outstretched hand, and he pulls her into the train, the film comes full circle, to the juncture when they first met in London.
