Still Running After That Train: DDLJ Breakdown

Season 2 Episode 19

It’s the train that never stopped — and this week, we’re finally hopping on.

We, along with our guest host Mitul, take a chai-fueled trip back to Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, the movie that made mustard fields iconic, turned train stations into love stories, and crowned SRK and Kajol the forever king and queen of Bollywood romance.

 From Raj’s effortless charisma to Simran’s quiet rebellion, we’re breaking down what made DDLJ a cultural phenomenon and asking the real questions. Would Raj’s antics still work in 2025? Did Bauji actually have a point? And why does this film still feel like comfort food?

It’s nostalgia, debate, and laughter in one ticket — and yes, there’s a special guest on board for this ride.
