Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge is one of India's biggest blockbusters and is also referred to as ‘Cult classic’, ‘longest-running Hindi film’, and ‘most iconic Bollywood romance'.

'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' was loved by the audience and still is. This movie is considered to be one of the most romantic movies. The movie was released on October 20, 1995. Today, this movie has completed 25 years

The film’s title was the brainchild of veteran actor Kirron Kher: “When Kirron suggested Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, everyone thought it was too long. Shah Rukh was not happy with it. But Adi was thrilled. He even credited Kirron in the opening titles of the film,”

Anupam Kher wanted to play the role of Amrish Puri - In the movie, Anupam Kher wanted to play the role played by Amrish Puri. He even spoke to Aditya Chopra about it but he refused.

One of Kajol's very first scenes in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge saw her dancing around her room in a fluffy towel, and nothing else. The actor was quite hesitant about shooting a song in the fresh-out-of-a-shower look, but the scenes eventually became some of her most-loved by fans.

Shah Rukh’s iconic leather jacket was purchased by Uday Chopra from California for $400 from a Harley Davidson store, and remains one of the actor's most memorable pieces from the movie.

Raj dropping Simran on the ground during ‘Ruk Ja O Dil Deewane’ was always part of the choreography—except Kajol didn't know about it. That shell-shocked expression on her face at the end of the song was a genuine reaction.

According to reports, the crew of the film faced a little trouble while shooting for ‘Tujhe Dekha Toh Yeh Jaana Sanam’. The filming, which took place in a village in Haryana, apparently upset the residents who owned the plot where part of the song was being shot. Shah Rukh Khan (quite heroically) stepped in to chat with the land owners and iron out the issues.
