Anupam Kher says Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol's 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' would not work for today's audience: 'Now it's like, fall in love today, and have s*x the next day...'
Veteran actor Anupam Kher is gearing up for the release of his upcoming movie 'Metro... In Dino' alongside Neena Gupta. In a recent interview, Anupam shared his thoughts on the changing portrayal of love in cinema. The actor feels that Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol 's Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge may not be accepted if it were originally released today. Anupam Kher about how the portrayal of love has changed in movies During a conversation with India Today, Anupam reflected on how the portrayal of love in films has changed over time, noting that cinema mirrors societal shifts — from the songs and language to how love is expressed. He added that earlier films carried a certain kashish (appeal) and emotional longing that is often missing today. 'In those times, we never used to speak directly. Falling in love took time. Even going to bed with someone wasn't immediate — first love, then marriage, then sex . Now it's like, fall in love today, and have sex the next day. There's nothing wrong with it, I'm not judging. But that's how it's shown now,' he stated. Anupam Kher Finds Monsoon Peace With Kishore's Tunes Anupam Kher says Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge will not work for today's audience He wishes to watch a movie that has a certain appeal to it. He feels Sanjay Leela Bhansali 's Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam was such a beautiful romantic film as it had all of these elements in it. He is unable to recall any good romantic films released in recent times, as he feels all of them have a sort of restlessness. But Anupam also admitted that society has changed a lot and that old-school love stories may not work for today's audience. Anupam cited Shah Rukh and Kajol's Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge as an example and stated that it would not work for today's audience the way it did in the past. 'Today, it works because of its nostalgic value. But if it were made for the first time now, it wouldn't have had the same impact. Just like Gone with the Wind — if it were made today, it wouldn't resonate the same way. Times have changed, life has changed. Back then, in the late '90s and earlier, we had stories of couples eloping. But DDLJ was the first time when the hero said, 'I will convince your father. Only then will we marry.' That was new. The father tells his son, 'You failed in London? Good. We've all failed in India too.' These were fresh, grounded characters,' he revealed. About Metro... In Dino Metro... In Dino, starring Aditya Roy Kapur and Sara Ali Khan, will hit theatres on July 4.

He also opened up about how Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge wouldn't work if released in 2025. advertisementIn a exclusive conversation, Kher said, 'Whatever happens in the world around us reflects in our movies — whether it's in the songs, the language, or the way we communicate love. Earlier, there was a certain kashish (appeal), a longing in romance.'Recalling the old days of cinema, he added, 'In those times, we never used to speak directly. Falling in love took time. Even going to bed with someone wasn't immediate—first love, then marriage, then sex. Now it's like, fall in love today, and have sex the next day. There's nothing wrong with it, I'm not judging. But that's how it's shown now.' Kher expressed his yearning for romantic films, 'I'm longing to see a love story where there's a certain amount of kashish. That's why I felt Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam was such a beautiful romantic film — Sanjay Leela Bhansali captured that essence so well. It had all of that.."advertisementHe continued with a rhetorical pause, asking, 'But now, there's a certain ghabrahat (restlessness). Where is the beauty of a romantic film anymore? Tell me — what was the last truly romantic film you saw? Exactly. asked why love stories were easier to tell in the past, he responded, 'Samaaj badal gaya hai (society has changed). Films reflect society. If you make an old-school love story now, maybe only a few people will go watch it.'When asked if 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' released for the first time in 2025, would it have worked Anupam said, " No, I don't think it would. Today, it works because of its nostalgic value. But if it were made for the first time now, it wouldn't have had the same impact.

'Love, at its core, may remain the same — but the way we express, portray, and understand it changes with every generation.' You May Also Like
