As for Khan, i cannot say I am too familiar with him at all. Sadly, one of these more international actors died not too long ago at a really way too young age and I miss him because I have seen some films he was in, but that is another story. Shah Rukh Khan has been considered one of India's finest actors, especially if we are looking at those who did not really go for an international career, but mostly stayed with Bollywood. At least, this applies to the two younger leads.
As for the cast, there are some big names included in here, but probably these names are bigger today than they were back then. I think many hugely successful Bollywood times are very, very long, so it is not too unusual, but still it needs to be noted looking at who did this. A really spectacular and challenging movie with a running time of easily over three hours. His inclusion is especially impressive because he was still extremely young back in 1995, barely in his mid-20s and yet he as the creator behind this film we have here. He was also one of two writers, but apparently the one with the much bigger impact if we judge from what the share of work is described here on imdb. The director is Aditya Chopra and of course this turned into a big success for him, also gained a lot of awards recognition. Many call it simply DDLJ for reasons of simplicity and I am sure fans of Indian movies will know exactly what this means.

Back to the basics: There are many informal English titles out for this one, but no standard English title is listed here on imdb, so I shall spare you the translation and if you care, feel free to check for yourself. I saw this one is in the top100 (actually number 100 exactly) of Indian films here on imdb and has a really high rating, so I was curious. But real Indian films without foreign collaboration are completely new territory to me. I am generally not aware of Bollywood movies to be honest and the only thing I have seen what you could call it, or at least slightly call it, would be Danny Boyle's Best Picture winner "Slumdog Millionaire".
I got to watch this today for the first time, not just first time at a theater, but first time altogether, and I do not really regret it.
"Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" is an Indian Hindi-language movie from 1995, so this one has its 25th anniversary this year and this is also the reason why this film is shown again in many thaters around the globe. But what do I know?! At least I liked and enjoyed it. But I don't, for the life of me, understand why it has as strong an appeal as it did in India. This is a tough balancing act because I've seen other Indian films with nearly identical plots where the guy is insufferable and easy to hate. But, it works better than it should because Shah Rukh Khan is very good as a likable sort of jerk. As I already mentioned a couple times, this film is very predictable and formulaic. Simran is supposed to get married to a man her father chose for her and she's supposed to head to India to marry once this vacation is complete. But, given the formula, the cannot get together.at least not yet. And you KNOW they are now in love because they take time to do musical interludes where they both talk about their love for each other. Because the movie is over three hours long, you know they cannot quickly fall for each other-and Raj's devil-may-care ways naturally rub Simran the wrong way.and they battle each other but always end up coming back to each other in the end. However, when they both go on vacations through Europe from their homes in the UK, you KNOW that soon they'll get together but the journey will, of course, be a rocky one. As for his soon to be lady love, Simran (Kajol) is quite the opposite-very responsible and dependable. When the film begins, Raj (Shah Rukh Khan) is supposed to be graduating from college but isn't because he's a bit of an irresponsible but likable rascal. It's a big case of 'been there/done that' as I watched.though the film is enjoyable and has its moments. Since I am not Indian but love Indian films, I took the plot in stride and see this as a film that can be good but cannot be great simply because of the plot. After all, almost ten years AFTER this movie debuted it was STILL playing in some theaters-such is the love of this sort of film in its native land. However, this familiarity is something the Indian audiences love and pay to see. Because of this, the plot to "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" is anything but original. The most common, it seems, are the two lovers who fall in love but one or both of them are already pledged by their parents to marry another. In Indian films, there are several plots which are practically clichés because they occur so regularly.
