Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge


#YOLO is the only reason I could watch this movie. “Must reach the end....must survive....must finally start hating Yash Raj movies”, my mind muttered, finding this ordeal more complicated than an exercise of integration. The urban dictionary defines any character with the name Raj as “A Scottish term for someone going crazy with rage”, subtly describing my state of mind while watching this movie.
     So, when the lad and lass had their final, super awkward conversation, two ridiculously paradoxical situations are created. Simran plays the Friend card in a hilariously inconsiderate way. All she said was “Friends?” as she politely asked him to return to the friend zone after increasing his hopes. You could see Raj’s agonized soul in his eyes. His will power permitted him to reply with “Hmm...” As Simran smiled, looking accomplished, you can feel “Hum pe ye kisne, hara rang dala, khushi ne hamari hame maar dala” play on full blast like there is no end, in Raj’s heart.  Raj walks away, showing his not so amazing derriere to the camera and as the last of his Scottish body disappears, you can see the look of horror on Simran’s face. Her expression looks like the one you see on yours or someone’s face when after an exam your answers don’t match with anybody’s answers. That when she realizes that Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and she likes the guy who she brutally friend zoned a few nanoseconds ago. It’s like her mind did a full somersault and in that process, made me loose mine.



This isn’t just genius; it’s indeed amongst the most impeachable works in the genre Romance!
