Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995)
Baldev is an Indian man living in London, England, and receives a
letter from his long-time friend back in India, requesting that they
fulfill their promise to each other and have their children wed.
Simran, Baldev's eldest daughter, asks for permission to travel
around Europe with her friends for a month in exchange for going
through with the arranged marriage. Baldev agrees, and Simran meets
Raj, a roguish character that teases her endlessly, but also manages
to capture her heart. The trip around Europe ends and they go their
separate ways, finally realizing they are both in love with each
other. Raj tracks down Simran in India, and tells her to pretend she
doesn't know him as he charms his way into the good graces of both
families – he won't steal her away to elope. When Baldev discovers
the affair, will he force Simran to go through with the arranged
marriage, or will he let Raj take his daughter?
*This
movie was over 3 hours long, and while it is nearly 20 years old, it
was still very entertaining, with a good pace and good music. Raj's
character is quite charming as well. I'd probably watch this again.*
