The only thing I regretted was the typical fight scene towards the end. The traditional wedding preparations in the second half are well-made the values they show, Raj's attempts to conquer Simran's father, and the couple's deepening relationship are interesting. Their separation at the end of the first half, when both make each other understand of their true feelings without explicitly admitting it, is moving. Raj and Simran's entire acquaintance and interaction in the first half is charming.
There are many great moments in the film. The film relates their love story in a rather mesmerising way. Such people almost no longer exist nowadays. They were much more simple, respectful and full of life. Raj and Simran, the characters played by Shahrukh Khan and Kajol represent the last generation of youngsters who were innocent and naive. Yet, the film remains mainly a poignant, melancholic romance. It also shows the yearning of the first-generation NRIs who live far away from their homeland and for many reasons find it difficult to come back. Thirdly, it is one of the first films portraying Indians who live outside their country (in this case, London). Secondly, the many paradoxes it contains: it is powerful yet subtle, larger-than-life yet simple, funny yet sad, magical yet realistic, and so on. First and foremost, for its fresh, naive spirit. If you see it, you'll get that it's not very different as a love story.
Aditya Chopra's Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge is a superb example of the genius of Hindi commercial cinema.
