DDLJ memories, which still rule the hearts of die-hard romantics
Fondly called 'DDLJ', the film is remembered for its picturesque European locales and Punjab's mustard-fields, which went to become one of the many signatures of the film. Songs like 'Na Jaane Mere', 'Tujhe Dekha', and 'Ruk Ja' by Lata Mangeshkar, Udit Narayan, and Kumar Sanu on memorable tunes by Jatin-Lalit still rule the hearts of die-hard romantics. The film completed 20 years in 2015.
