Our take on Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge

The most beloved film in Indian cinema, this 1995 romance follows two young second-generation Indians who fall in love on a European trip — then must win over her tradition-bound father. Exuberant, funny and unabashedly romantic, it has played in Mumbai cinemas for decades. If its big-hearted romance and song-and-dance joy swept you up, seek out Bollywood epics and sweeping love stories where family, duty and devotion collide.
