Twitter Intellectuals have many a times declared DDLJ Overrated, Though I don't respond to those petty mind, but Today I saw an SRKian, Calling DDLJ an Overrated Film made me respond, in the defense of DDLJ, Here is my Thread why DDLJ was a ATBB, Still the longest running film.
Typical Indian Society, Have a Stereotype about NRI's, They Feel that, After living in Foreign Countries for so long, NRI's Forget their Indian Culture and Morals, But DDLJ Broke that Stereotype, Generally in Foreign Countries, Marrying is Sole Desicion of the Individual
But in Indian Culture, Parent's Permission is a must, it's a Sign of Respect and Pride for Indian parent's, but as I said, Indians typical Stereotype for NRI's, They Think NRI's Loose their Indian Moral, Same was The Thinking of Simran's Father for Raj
But Raj Eventually Broke Simran's Father's Stereotype, as well as that of The Indian Audience, This is the main part that Connected the Heart of Indian Audience They got relieved that There are still People like Raj Who don't loose Indian morality, irrespective of where they live
NRI Audience also Felt connection with the film, They were Bounded on the Stereotype, but With DDLJ they Got Relieved that, Finally a Film showed their Reality, That Not all NRI's Loose their Indian Morality. It's not just a normal Rom Com, it Connects with your Nationalism
In the Mordern Era Where Romantic Films are Dieing post Bahubali, and even if they watch a Romantic Film, that has to be a Toxic Romance like Kabir Singh, DDLJ might not age well to you, and might find Overrated but Your Parents Will Still prefer DDLJ, It will always be a classic
