Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ), directed by Aditya Chopra and featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, has been recognized by The Academy in a recent social media post. The Academy asked followers to name their favorite romance films involving travel, listing DDLJ among others. Kajol responded with a simple endorsement, 'I vote for DDLJ,' which resonated with fans who celebrated the film's enduring legacy. Released in 1995, DDLJ has become a cultural phenomenon, still screening at Mumbai's Maratha Mandir theatre, making it one of the longest-running films in Indian cinema history. In December 2022, a bronze statue of the film's iconic characters, Raj and Simran, was unveiled in Leicester Square, London, celebrating the film's 30th anniversary. Shah Rukh Khan expressed his excitement about the statue, noting DDLJ as the first Indian film to receive such an honor. The chemistry between Khan and Kajol in DDLJ has set a benchmark for romantic storytelling in Bollywood.
