Description
The longest-running film ever. The coming-of-age of one of Indian cinema s biggest superstars, Shah Rukh Khan. The template for what we now know as Bollywood cinema. Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, playing continuously for twenty years (and counting) in a Mumbai theatre, heralded a new era in Hindi films. Even Barack Obama referenced it in one of his speeches. One of the earliest contemporary Hindi films to focus on Indian residents abroad, DDLJ addressed a newly liberalized nation with its heady cocktail of European locations, flashy cars and gorgeous mansions. It was also - perhaps not quite surprisingly - a conformist film, upholding traditions of premarital chastity and family authority, affirming an essential Indian identity in the face of the forces of westernization and liberalization.Critic, author and analyst Anupama Chopra s Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge: A Modern Classic is a deep dive into the movie, examining the making of it as well as the impact it had on popular culture and Hindi cinema. A loving tribute to an iconic film, this book is the definitive account of a Bollywood - indeed, Indian - phenomenon. - from Amzon
