As part of the celebrations for the 200th anniversary of modern railways in 2025, Britain’s railway network is set to commemorate 30 years of the iconic film 'Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge' (DDLJ).
In a unique collaboration with Yash Raj Films, the initiative aims to highlight the unifying power of love through a special UK-India cultural celebration. YRF will also be celebrating 30 years of 'DDLJ', one of the highest-grossing Hindi films of all time. The film, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in the lead roles, was extensively shot in the UK, with the iconic King’s Cross Railway Station serving as the backdrop where the film’s lead pair first meet and discover their deep love for each other.
YRF is currently producing a musical adaptation of 'Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge', titled "Come Fall in Love - The "DDLJ Musical" (CFIL), set to premiere at Manchester Opera House on 29 May 2025, running until 21 June 2025.
As part of the collaboration, immersive activations will take place at Manchester and London railway stations, celebrating how love can unite cultures through the magic of Come Fall in Love and the iconic legacy of DDLJ.
"Come Fall in Love - The DDLJ Musical," an English-language musical is being directed by Aditya Chopra, the original director of DDLJ. It follows Simran, a young British Indian woman who finds herself engaged to a family friend in India in an arranged marriage. However, the plot thickens when she falls in love with a British man named Roger.
Notably, 'DDLJ' holds the record as the longest-running film in Indian cinema, having been continuously screened in Mumbai since its release in 1995.
