Shahrukh-Kajol: Yesterday once more

Rohit Shetty's Dilwale is scheduled for an all-India release on Dec 18. The biggest attraction of the new film is that it brings back the electrically charged combine of Shahrukh Khan-Kajol five years after My Name is Khan and 20 years after they set the screen on fire with their love chemistry in Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge. The big question is will this film set the screen on fire again. Shoma A. Chatterji raises the curtain a little.

Remember that both Kajol and Shahrukh are twenty years older than what they were in DDLJ. Also note that they now have growing children of their own and the bloom and blush of fresh youth needs to be heavily disguised with intelligent make-up and a well-fashioned beard for Shahrukh. And what does King Khan himself has to say? 

What does a car modifier do? He is specially trained and skilled in tuning or modifying the performance or appearance of a vehicle. Modifying or tuning a car after it comes out of the assembly line is a way to personalize the characteristics of a given car to the owner’s preference. These modifications may cover better fuel economy, produce more power and provide better handling.

His character is torn between his love for his beautiful beau and his love for his brother who has practically brought him up. He has lot of action scenes packed into family scenes of sacrifice and melodrama, typical of most Shahrukh Khan films. 

Adds Kajol: “Dilwale is an extremely special film. Not only for what it offers but also because of the people I have worked with here. I had a great time working on the film most specially with Shahrukh and of course Rohit as well and I think everybody will be bowled over as much as we were while we shot for the film."

The music for this seven-song film has been composed by Pritam Chakraborty. The official title of the song is Gerua! It goes -  Rang De Tu Mohe Gerua and has been shot across Iceland. It is a track that brings back the crackling chemistry of the deadly SRK-Kajol combo.

Dilip Chhabria, a renowned expert in the field of modifying cars who has designed the most fancy vanity vans in the industry including almost every van that Shahrukh has had in films and in real life, has provided the cars for the action scenes in the film. Stylish cars play an important role in the film and offer an additional USP to Dilwale apart from the  chemistry of the lead pair.
