DDLJ turning 27 and Don turning 16: In 2018, Shah Rukh Khan starred as the lead in Aanand L Rai’s Zero. He shared screen space with Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma. Even after rounds of promotional sprees, the film failed to create magic. That marked SRK’s last on-screen presence.
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, which debuted on the big screen in 1995 and became a symbol of romance for Bollywood, literally made history. Shah Rukh Khan’s reputation as a romantic hero for future generations was solidified when Raj and Simran became the epitome of love, romance, and devotion in DDLJ.
When Raj first meets Simran, he introduces her to his father, and the two share a touching moment captured in this photo. An instrumental version of the popular song, Tujhe Dekha Toh, was posted alongside the iconic photo. Anupam Kher captioned the photo with, “Three cheers for 27 years of DDLJ!” Film has become a cultural touchstone for this generation. How fortunate I am to have participated in this film! in addition to tagging Shah Rukh and Kajol for the same thing.
Later films like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, My Name Is Khan, and Dilwale featured Shah Rukh and Kajol in additional roles. However, nobody ever tried to recreate the success of the cult classic DDLJ. Shah Rukh explained in the interview why the film’s cast and crew ended up being so exceptional at the time.
Shah Rukh Khan will star in three back-to-back films in 2023. If you are looking for names, it’s Pathaan, Jawan and Dunki. Before we trod into next year, two of Shah Rukh Khan’s films completed different milestones. While Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge completed 27 years on October 20, Don finished 16 years.
