Sholay has been a cult classic and an obvious matter of pride for Indian cinema. It was not a surprise of any Hindi movie buff that the outstanding movie grew to become the longest running movie of Indian cinema and maintained this honour over a long stretch of years.

However some years ago, it was Aditya Chopra's Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (released in 1995) that eventually broke the long-standing record of Sholay. As a matter of fact, it is still running and has broken all records of cinematic consistency. The movie starred the wonder couple of the 90's Shahrukh Khan and Kajol and was based on the endearing concept of patriotism blended with the exquisite splendor of romance. Besides the phenomenal story-telling and direction of first-time director Aditya Chopra and the wonderful contributions by the entire cast, it was also the compatible chemistry between the lead pair that earned the movie tremendous extent of accolades. But the factor that eclipsed all the other ones was the exquisitely delineated central idea of the movie that actually won the hearts of millions all over the world.

No movie can do that. DDLJ can never come near to sholay in any department, People know each character and their dialogues by heart. Let it be Jay, Veeru, Basanti, Thakur, Sambha, kalia , or Gabbar himself ! No one remember DDLJ hero or heroine's name even.
