Which Bollywood Classic Just Got a Shoutout from the Oscars?
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (the folks behind the Oscars) recently took a nostalgic trip to Bollywood, and fans are absolutely living for it! In a special social media post celebrating the best romantic movies involving travel, the Academy featured iconic stills from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ) alongside Hollywood hits like The Holiday and Eat Pray Love. They asked fans to pick their favorite travel-themed romance, and it didn’t take long for the internet to start buzzing over the 1995 masterpiece starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol.
The highlight of the moment was seeing Kajol’s heartwarming reaction. She caught wind of the post and quickly reshared it with a simple but proud response: “I vote for DDLJ!” This sweet nod comes as the film recently hit its massive 30-year milestone, proving that the love story of Raj and Simran is truly timeless. Between its record-breaking run at Maratha Mandir and now getting love from the Oscars’ official page, it’s clear that DDLJ isn’t just a movie—it’s a global phenomenon that still wins hearts decades later.
