Off-late, many people on Facebook have been sharing this particular still from DDLJ
METAPHOR : This might also be the most intelligent scene in the film. You feel euphoric when Raj's hands finally manage to grab a desperately rushing Simran's hands. That moment is a metaphor for the movie title - Dilwale Dulhaniyaan Le Jaayenge :) Am sure Aditya Chopra must have thought exactly before he decided to throw logic out of window.
I say this frame or rather the scene sums up Bollywood .. good and bad.
Lets analyze the hidden attributes
ILLOGICAL : Someone has rightly said LOVE IS BLIND. The director rightly used this theory and seized the opportunity for Simran to take the longer route (she's in Love, my bouy) and thereby accomplish the feat of stretching the climax by 2-3 more minutes
ROMANTIC : In the end, Good boy always gets the girl. that's how we are brought up to believe in Bollywood. There's no way Papa - The Great would have changed his mind later and simran may have taken a flight to London. She has to board this train NOW itself as audience has come to see the dilwala take his dulhaniya in slow motion. else give our money back.
MELODRAMA : The train has just begun to move. Yet its so important to stay loyal to the script and complete the dialogues before the marathon begins. "Jaa beti .. jee le apni Zindagi" . She is stunned for a few seconds " baap maan gaya ? " and suddenly she is like "Oh Shit, gaddi jaa rahi hai. here i go " . But we loved it !!

FATHER'S LOVE ( REALLY ??) : Simran's father is so caring and protective of his daughter. Yet he is brave enough to release his daughter's arms from his grip so that she may run, run fast and try to board a running train. He knows she won't get hurt cause the movie has to end. Inversely, someone must have told Raj that the train was the last one EVER to arrive at that station. Hence he doesn't board off even when he sees Simran struggling to make it.
CORRUPTION : Was the driver bribed ? Daughter is begging father to let her go ... father thinks, he thinks hard and lets her go finally after saying his lines. In between all this, the train continues to move ahead like one of those leisurely paced toy trains. Daughter is no P.T.Usha. Driver knows that. The train never seems to catch up speed till the inevitable happens.
