Come Fall in Love, a ‘high energy, colourful’ new musical based on one of the biggest blockbuster films in the history of Indian cinema, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, will make its UK premiere in Summer 2025.
Come Fall in Love will be set in the UK and will be directed by Aditya Chopra, the original director of the record-breaking, award-sweeping Hindi-language film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, also known as DDLJ. DDLJ is the longest-running title in Indian cinema, playing continuously in Mumbai since its release in 1995.
Come Fall in Love is the story of Simran, a young
British Indian woman whose future is set: an arranged marriage back
in India to a family friend. But when she convinces her very strict
dad that she should spend a summer of freedom and fun in Europe,
she falls in love with Roger, a British charmer with a heart of gold,
and her careful, logical plans go out the window. Can she be true
to both her heritage and her heart? Can carefree Rog win over her
traditional father?
