Actress Kajol believes that if the film ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ (DDLJ), which gained tremendous popularity 30 years ago, is remade, it will have to be adapted according to today’s times and thinking, hence it is not possible to recreate its earlier magic. The love story ‘DDLJ’ was released on October 20, 1995 in which Kajol played the role of Simran and Shahrukh Khan played the role of her lover Raj. The film is considered one of India’s most successful films of all time and can still be seen on the big screen at the Maratha Temple in Mumbai.

Before the film completed 30 years, Kajol told PTI, “Create your own magic. …I don’t think that magic can be recreated.” He said that if DDLJ was to be remade, “you would have to make it like DDLJ, but it would never be like DDLJ. It has to be different and once you change the people and the environment, you have to adapt the story to the current times, society and thinking.”

Kajol said, “This changes the entire tone of the film. So you have to create your own magic.” It is a matter of discussion as to how much today’s youth will like this film. This film took Bollywood romance to a new level through the story of two NRI youth and even today it has millions of fans. Its songs like ‘Tujhe dekha to yeh jaana sanam’, ‘Mehndi laga ke rakhana’, ‘Ruk ja…’, ‘Mere khwabo mein…’ and ‘Ho gaya hai tujhko to pyar sajna’ and its dialogues like ‘Bade bade dekhon mein…’, ‘Palat’ and ‘Ja simran ja’ are popular even today.
He said, “I don’t think there is such a thing as a ‘perfect film’ and I don’t think we knew what a ‘perfect film’ was… but yes, it is a film that is still doing well. You know ‘DDLJ’ is about to complete 30 years. This is amazing. I think people adopted it and made it their own.
