Looking back at DDLJ, one realises that though it captured the Indian zeitgeist of the '90s, the central conflict of the film remains one that Indians continue to grapple with. The country opened its gates to the rest of the world as a newly liberalised economy, and choice became the governing principle of its citizens - an element that seeped into their personal lives, too.ĭDLJ emerged as the defining film of that India, by offering viewers the best of both worlds - embracing their individual choice, but not at the cost of forfeiting family ties. And those who are living by themselves have found a lot of 'me time', to reconfigure their plans and priorities.ĭDLJ addressed all these questions when it released in the mid-'90s at that time, India was in the midst of a structural transformation of another kind. A lot of us, like this writer, got a chance to reconnect with their roots, parents, hometowns. Others still have rediscovered gratitude. Some have waxed nostalgic, while others have considered this as an opportune time for introspection.
