Shah Rukh and Kajol in DDLJ

What's the magic behind DDLJ? Why does it still hold immeasurable charm when a generation has passed through? Why the romantic background music does make your heart skip a beat? Why does 'Tujhe Dekha To Yeh Jaana Sanam' still find a position in one's list of all time love duets? Well, thousands of articles have been written around this and books have been dedicated to the movie, so saying something more would be just stating the obvious. But the fact is that this is the movie I went out to see when I was a college-going kid. The first time I saw it' it was with a couple of friends. The movie turned out to be 'Wow!' and I thought that watching DDLJ would be a good idea for a date. So that's why I went the second time. And then I wondered' why not have a clean family outing with my parents. So third trip it was! And then the fourth and the fifth and many more before I stopped counting.

And those were the days when there were no multiplexes with a show after every hour to choose from. Neither was there a multiplex every 2 miles in a neighborhood shopping mall. One had to choose from a conventional 12-3-6-9 routine and get tickets after spending hours in queues! And did I (or anyone else for this matter) mind that?! Naah!
