Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge
A carefree Indian-American named Raj sets out to win the heart of Simran—and convince her traditional family to bless their love—before a prearranged marriage seals her fate.
“Come… fall In love, all over again…”
Synopsis
Raj is a wealthy, carefree, and happy-go-lucky second-generation NRI. Simran is the daughter of Chaudhary Baldev Singh, an NRI who remains strict in upholding Indian values. Simran has returned to India to marry her childhood fiancé. Raj travels to India with a mission: to win back his love, Simran, despite the presence of her entire family. This sets in motion a dramatic story.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 34
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 7.6× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
