Dilwale Dulhania le Jayenge: (The "Brave-Hearted Will Take the Bride")

"Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge" ('The Brave-hearted Will Take the Bride'), universally known as "DDLJ", opened to huge popular acclaim in India in 1995. This work points out that it is a paradoxical film which affirms old-fashioned values of pre-marital chastity and family authority, affirming the idea that Westernization need not affect an essential Indian identity.
