Cinematheque: Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge at Vilas Hall
This season, Cinematheque features a series of films from Bollywood's lavish filmmaking traditions, focusing specifically on genre stars Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan. Khan stars in 1995's musical Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (Brave Heart Will Take The Bride) as a spoiled, London-raised Indian who follows his already-engaged love to India, infiltrates her household as the groom's friend, and tries to win her. Not only are a great deal of the film's emotions expressed in over-the-top musical numbers, it's also reportedly the longest film in Indian history, 189 minutes.
