The Bollywood movie Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, which was released in 1995 and starred Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, became a trendsetter. In reality, Maratha Mandir continues to show the movie. Bollywood has produced many remakes over the last few years and is presently working on a few more. Speaking of developing a DDLJ remake, lead actress Kajol has made it quite clear that it is an absolute no-no.
All of this transpired while she was speaking with News18. “My personal opinion is that I don’t think that movies like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge should be replicated.” The actress replied when asked about her position. “Likewise, I experience K3G. (Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham; 2001). Magic, in my opinion, can only be made once. It won’t feel the same if you try to reproduce it; it merely fizzles out.”
She continued, “You’ll always be unhappy regardless of how brilliantly it is portrayed and done,” adding that audience members would unavoidably draw comparisons to 1995 original and feel let down. “There is a feeling of magic. You get that feeling from movies. Nothing can duplicate the thrill you get when you view them for the first time.” She ends.
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge:
Together with her, Aditya Chopra, the director of the movie. And Shah Rukh Khan, the lead actor, also discussed it in the Netflix documentary series The Romantics. “As we spoke, we primarily discussed action movies—that there would be violence, blood, and other gory details—SRK recalled. And they told me about this incredibly sweet, namby-pamby movie about this guy who doesn’t even go away with the girl (Aditya Chopra and his then assistant, Karan Johar)!”
Furthermore, the series showed that Aditya had counselled Shah Rukh when the latter was hesitant to accept DDLJ after hearing the tale. Aditya Chopra said to Shah Rukh, “I would just urge you that don’t lock your doors on ever doing a love story because a celebrity in this nation will only be that person who will be every mother’s son, every sister’s brother, and every college girl’s fantasy.”
