3. SUMMARY
Raj Malhotra and Simran are non resident Indians living in
london meet on a trip to Europe.
After some initial misadventures, they fall in love. The battle begins to
win over two traditional families.
The entire setting of DDLJ is very simplistic, which brings out that
special "oomph" in their romance.
In many ways a totally Western film, it is yet completely un-Western,
and absolutely full of energy.
The plot is predictable, almost pedestrian--certainly not what you'd call
"never done before," and yet I found myself completely absorbed in the
story, and rooting for the main characters.
4. The Indian who keeps "Indian culture" even in his home in
foreign land
Jatin-Lalit's songs are very attractive. "Tujhe Dekha Tho",
"Ruk Ja O Dil Deewane", and "Mere Khwabon Mein" are the
best in the movie. "Mere Khwabon Mein" is especially
choreographed very well.
