Overview

• On July 9, Grammy-winning musician Ricky Kej posted on X that Simran could have boarded the moving train through any door rather than the single carriage entry shown in the climax.
• His tongue-in-cheek critique drew mixed reactions from fans, with some applauding the practical perspective and others insisting the sequence’s emotional power outweighs logistical concerns.
• Rail enthusiasts highlighted that Simran’s heavy lehenga and the absence of vestibule connections in 1990s Indian sleeper coaches would have complicated any alternate boarding attempt.
• Kej playfully engaged with respondents, agreeing with comparisons to long-running film debates such as the Titanic door controversy.
• The exchange has reignited discussions about how Bollywood balances cinematic romance with technical realism in moments that have defined the genre since DDLJ’s 1995 release.
