Shah Rukh and Kajol in DDLJ |
After an entertaining (and the most profitable) month for Bollywood behind us, with successes in the shape of Lucky, Waqt, Kaal and Kya Kool Hai Hum, this summer indeed looks cool (As predicted in our recent feature - 'This Summer will be Cool'). With optimism on a high and vigor renewed, Bollywood fans look forward to rest of the summer with flicks like 'Bachke Rehna Re Baba', 'Naina', 'Nazar', 'Bunty Aur Babli', 'Parineeta', 'Silsiilay', 'Maine Pyaar Kyo Kiya', 'D', 'Paheli', 'Sarkaar' and many more. But first of all, get set for one of the most exciting weekends of this year- that of Friday - the 13th of May - when a 10 year old romance stands up in the face of opposition of a Punjabi Jatt and a revolutionary Bong!
Yes, I am talking about the love story of Raj and Simran who met on a train 500 weeks back. The train is still chugging along in Maratha Mandir, Mumbai every day after Amrish Puri Saab gives his nod of approval in three simple words - 'Jaa Simran Jaa'. To join the celebrations and fall in love (yet again), the epic love story 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' by Aditya Chopra releases all over India once more. No one would have imagined in their wildest dreams in 1995 that when the movie would be re-released, it would come face to face with Sunny paaji's comic-thriller 'Jo Bole So Nihal' and Shyam Benegal's historic epic 'Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose'. And how much do we love this weekend treat when all the three releases seem pretty inviting! |
