Come Fall in Love – The DDLJ Musical releases a first listen music video

The title song from the upcoming Come Fall in Love musical has been released.

Helmed by Aditya Chopra, the original director of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (also commonly known as DDLJ), one of the biggest blockbuster films in the history of Indian cinema, it’ll have its UK premiere later this year.

The stage version’s narrative will be set in the UK and follows Simran, a young British Indian woman, who finds herself engaged to a family friend in India in an arranged marriage. However, the plot thickens when she falls in love with a British man named Roger.

Set to star in the musical are Jena Pandya, taking on the role of Simran, with Ashley Day in the role of Roger. The complete casting was revealed earlier this week.

DDLJ is the longest-running title in Indian cinema and has been playing continuously in Mumbai since its release back in 1995.

The production will feature an original score, complete with 18 songs. Music is by Vishal Dadlani and Sheykhar Ravjiani and the book and lyrics are by Nell Benjamin (Mean Girls, Legally Blonde). An American version was previously staged in San Diego in 2022.

The Musical), lighting designer Japhy Weideman, sound designer Tony Gayle, video designer Akhila Krishnan, musical supervisor and arranger Ted Arthur and musical director Ben Holder, with casting director David Grindrod for Grindrod Burton Casting. The show is produced by Chopra’s Yash Raj Films.
