Cinema lovers have voted ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge‘ (DDLJ) as their most favourite feature film from the past 100 years of Indian cinema in a poll conducted by Sanona, the UK’s largest online Pay Per View (PPV) Indian movie streaming service.

The hit romantic comedy, which starred superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in the lead roles, won 47 per cent of the votes in the online poll conducted across social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, email and via the movie portal itself to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the Indian film industry.

Written and directed by Aditya Chopra, son of the legendary Bollywood filmmaker Yash Chopra, ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ beat a selection of ten all-time greats which included classics such as Raj Kapoor’s ‘Awaara’ (1951), Mehboob Khan’s ‘Mother India’ (1957) and Ramesh Sippy’s ‘Sholay’ (1975).
