Dilwale has also been viewed as the first film of the 1990s to set the template for the вЂBollywoodisationвЂ™ of Indian cinema, a trend where a series of consumption practices began to coalesce around popular film culture, globally (Rajadhyaksha 2003). In her reading of Dilwale, Patricia Uberoi has argued that вЂat every turning point in the film narrative, and with every existential crisis the protagonists pause to remind themselves and each other of what it means to be IndianвЂ™ (ibid: 309). By contrast, the 1990s melodrama created a space for personal desires but in these films the heroine performed a symbolic function as the figure through whom the boundaries of вЂIndiannessвЂ™ could be defined (Sharpe 2005: 64).

The typical family melodrama of an earlier period had social duties, love of nation and kinship bonds as the driving force overwhelming individual choice and desire (Thomas 1995). Unlike earlier films where the NRI was portrayed as a debauched and decadent figure, Dilwale is the first of the 1990s films вЂthat turned BollywoodвЂ™s NRI stereotype on its headвЂ™ (Chopra 2002: 11вЂ“12).

The presence of NRIs and a narrative quest to define вЂIndiannessвЂ™ irrespective of geographical location ensured that the film received considerable scholarly and journalistic attention for the way it reframed ideas of nationhood and tradition for a globalised Indian context. Dilwale was shot in India, London and Switzerland and is one of the first films of the 1990s geared to appeal to the Indian diaspora by typically reinventing the NRI as a new figure of national identity.ДilwaleвЂ™s success both outside India and in the domestic market made it a trendsetter for lavishly mounted family films of the 1990s that moved across the world. The last shot of the film shows the couple board a train to leave the small town of Punjab.

After a series of twists, conflicts, comic moments and high drama, the couple is reunited with the blessings of both families. SimranвЂ™s mother, Lajjo feels empathy for her daughter and at one point tells her to elope with Raj. When Raj discovers the family has left for their homeland, he is encouraged by his father to follow with a mission to get his love back. A heartbroken Simran is left with no choice but to leave London with her family. The romance in Europe shatters everything for Simran as her enraged father, Baldev insists that the family move back to Punjab for SimranвЂ™s marriage to his childhood friendвЂ™s son, Kuljeet.

While Raj comes from an upper-class family, Simran belongs to a traditional middle-class conservative family. Written and helmed by Aditya Chopra, DDLJ starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol went on to become the longest-running Hindi film of all time.Dilwale tells the story of Simran and Raj, both non-resident Indians (NRIs) from London, who meet each other during a European vacation in the early 1990s. The film will be re-released across Germany, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, USA, UK, Canada, Mauritius, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Norway, Sweden, Spain, Switzerland, Estonia, and Finland to begin with.
