50 Films that changed Bollywood

"For me, the changeover came with DDLJ. It was like a distinct click and settling, a 'Before and After'. The slow transition had begun in the early 1990s, but with this film there was a sense of clear departure; the sense of an ending and a beginning," the author notes. "Just as 'Sholay' was for the 70s, 'DDLJ' was for the 90s: a landmark film. It had a far-reaching, profound impact on the film industry," Gupta told in this context.
