What the critics say
Praised for decades for the Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol chemistry, Aditya Chopra's direction and the music as an enduring, comforting romance, though some retrospectives flag Raj's stalker-y pursuit and the story's patriarchal, corny edges.

Derived by Filmi
50
How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 4 readings; 0 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
