The film is still running in Maratha Mandir Cinema making it the longest running film in the whole world. The film is till date the biggest hit film of SRK, Kajol and Aditya Chopra in terms of footfalls. DDLJ is the pride of Indian Cinema.
2] Mohabbatein (2000)
Mohabbatein had 2 acting legends Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan collaborating for a project. The face off between 2 acting legends was talk of the town. Aditya Chopra delivered his 2nd consecutive classic with Mohabbatein. The film was a Blockbuster at the Box Office and Highest Grosser of the Year. The film’s basic plot was inspired from Hollywood classic Dead Poets Society (1989). Dead Poets Society was based on life more and Mohabbatein focused more on love. Mohabbatein was widely known for it’s characters, performances, direction, music and story. The film marked the debut of Uday Chopra, Shamita Shetty, Kim Sharma and Preeti Jhangiani. The film proved to be a breakthrough film for Jimmy Shergill and Jugal Hansraj. The chemistry between SRK & Aishwarya Rai was very well presented by Aditya Chopra. Aditya Chopra has made a gem of this film which is a timeless classic.
3] Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008)
Aditya Chopra collaborated for 3rd time as a director with SRK. In each and every film of Aditya Chopra, SRK was the lead actor. Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi was the career best film of Aditya Chopra. Aditya Chopra delivered a Masterpiece this time. Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi was a huge blockbuster at the box office and was the 2nd highest grossing Bollywood film at that time. Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi marked the debut of Anushka Sharma. Aditya Chopra just got better with every film. SRK’s portrayal of Raj and Suri was the main highlight of the film. Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi is a Masterpiece because it followed the moral values and ethics in a love story. The film was made in an interesting and commercial way but was very intellectual in terms of content. The film had a chartbuster music album just like Aditya’s previous 2 outings. Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi is one of the finest love stories ever made in the History of Indian Cinema.
Aditya Chopra directed his 4th film Befikre in 2016. Befikre had Ranveer Singh and Vaani Kapoor in the lead roles. Befikre lacked content and bombed at the Box Office.
We wish to see more of Aditya Chopra as a director. We hope Aditya Chopra directs more films in coming future which turn out to be classics and memorable just like DDLJ, Mohabbatein and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.
We at Film Window wish Aditya Chopra a very Happy Birthday and a successful year ahead. We thank Aditya Chopra for giving so many memorable films to Bollywood.
