Shekhar Kapur misses films like DDLJ that 'defined a generation'

Film-maker Shekhar Kapur wonders why they don't make movies like "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge” (DDLJ) anymore, which is ready to complete 1,000 weeks of uninterrupted run at the Maratha Mandir cinema hall in Mumbai.

DDLJ, as the romantic drama is called, was Aditya Chopra's directorial debut. It will compete 1,000 weeks on Dec 12.

“#ddlj1000weeks Congratulations 2 Adi Chopra n whole team. Film defined a generation. Wish they still made films like this. From the heart”, Kapur, who has entertained the audience with hit films like “Masoom” and “Mr. India”, tweeted.

Starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Anupam Kher, Farida Jalal and Mandira Bedi, the love story revolves around a fun-loving London-bred Punjabi boy and a girl brought up in a conservative family. How he wins over the girl's family, is the core of the story. Click the Movie button below for more info:
