The love story of Raj and Simran is virtually synonymous with romance in Bollywood; Aditya Chopra’s directorial debut, released in 1995, has been running almost continuously ever since. Simran (Kajol) and Raj (Shah Rukh Khan) are children of ex-pat Indian families who meet while travelling around Europe. Lost somewhere outside Zurich, they fall in love. Family loyalties stand in their way, however; Simran’s sternly traditional father Baldev (Amrish Puri) has already promised her to the son of his old friend in India and is furious when he hears she has fallen for someone else. He whisks the family away to India – but Raj follows, determined to inveigle his way into Baldev’s good graces and marry Simran with his blessing. Can love be permitted to triumph? DDLJ, as it is popularly known, is ultimately an affirmation of Indian family values, but it is also full of fun and great songs.

SUPERBOYS OF MALEGAON
Director: Reema Kagti
This entertaining romp is based on the life of Nasir Shaikh, an amateur film-maker from the poor Indian town of Malegaon who was inspired by his love of silent slapstick to make a film of his own, featuring local characters and put together by a crew of friends. As the locals favoured Bollywood escapism, he adapted some of their favourites with the tales transported to Malegaon. People loved it, but their success threatened to split the group, one of whom turned out to have bigger ambitions: a few hurdles had to be jumped before everyone realised what really mattered to them. It is a poignant and at times funny take on film-making, friendship and what happens when those worlds collide.
