Kajol says love stories have evolved but DDLJ would still win hearts today
Bollywood actor Kajol, who is currently promoting her upcoming film 'Maa', believes that while cinema has changed dramatically over the years, a timeless love story like 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ)' would still strike a chord with today's an exclusive chat with India Today, the actor reflected on the evolution of storytelling in Hindi films. Kajol shared, 'I think those films were great for that time. But times have changed. Somebody asked me recently - 'We don't make love stories any more,' and I said - nobody in today's day and age believes in that kind of love any more.'advertisementKajol, who made her acting debut with 'Bekhudi' in 1992, believes today's cinema needs to reflect modern relationships. She said, "You will make a love story of this day and time and age. You will not make a love story of the black-and-white era. From the black-and-white era to the 90s to now, we have three different ways of looking at love and our attitudes toward it.' While she acknowledges that a classic 90s-style romance might struggle to connect with contemporary sensibilities, Kajol holds firm that a film like 'DDLJ' - which redefined Bollywood romance for an entire generation - would still have its magic.'I think that it would be very difficult to sell a love story from the 90's era in today's day and age. But I think 'DDLJ' would do very, very well today also,' she said went on to explain, 'Because we had fabulous music, an amazing ensemble cast - from Amrish Puri to Anupam Kher, Farida Jalal - everyone in the film had such clear-cut roles. It was a very well-made film. I don't know whether it would be as phenomenal today as it was back then, but it would definitely work.'Kajol's upcoming film, 'Maa', is a mythological horror film directed by Vishal Furia. It will premiere in theatres on June Watch
