You know the person. Laptop covered in stickers, planner decorated within an inch of its life, water bottle that tells you exactly who they are before they say a word. If that person grew up on DDLJ, the Bollywood Sticker Pack was made specifically for them. Or, let’s be honest, for you.
Where This One Comes From
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge came out in 1995 and never really left. It ran continuously at Mumbai’s Maratha Mandir cinema for over 25 years, which is not a typo. The film follows Raj and Simran across Europe and Punjab in a love story so absurdly romantic that it became the blueprint for an entire generation’s idea of what love should look like. The mustard fields of Punjab. The outstretched hand from the moving train. SRK opening his arms like he invented the gesture.
For anyone who grew up watching Bollywood at home, these aren’t just movie scenes. They’re family memories. A parent quoting Raj’s one-liners in the kitchen. A cousin re-enacting the train scene at a wedding. The specific feeling of watching it dubbed in whatever language the TV package offered and still knowing every line. These stickers pull all of that into something small and sticky and grin-inducing. Non-desi friends will ask about them. That is half the fun.
The Details
Each sticker is printed on premium glossy vinyl with UV-resistant ink. They’re waterproof and scratch-resistant, so they hold up on water bottles, MacBooks, phone cases, and planners without peeling or fading. The adhesive is strong enough for everyday use and the finish survives dishwasher cycles when applied to hard, smooth surfaces. Every sticker is individually cut and ready to apply straight from the pack. Designs reference specific DDLJ moments, classic SRK poses, and Kajol scenes, all rendered in a playful, modern art style.
Who This Was Made For
The Bollywood fan who still has opinions about the ending. The desi kid who needs their MacBook to say something about them. The planner enthusiast who is tired of generic pastel designs with no personality. Anyone who quotes Rahul and Anjali at completely inappropriate moments. These also work beautifully as a low-cost add-on gift for birthdays, mehndi nights, and sangeets, or as a stocking stuffer for the person who already has everything but would absolutely not say no to more stickers.
How to Style It
On a MacBook, cluster a few together in the bottom corner for that curated-but-chaotic energy. On a planner, mix them with washi tape for a desi-cute spread that will get comments at every study session. A single DDLJ mustard field sticker on a water bottle is a quiet flex that the right person will immediately clock. On a phone case, layer one over a plain clear case to make something that looks intentional and personal. There’s no wrong surface. Stick them wherever you want to feel a little bit of home.
Add It to Your Collection
Some products are useful. Some are meaningful. The best ones are both, and also make you smile every time you open your laptop. This pack is that. Grab one for yourself and one for the DDLJ fan in your life who will lose their mind over it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is DDLJ and why is it such a big deal in Bollywood culture?
DDLJ (Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, 1995) is one of the most beloved Bollywood films ever made. It starred Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol and ran continuously at a single Mumbai cinema for over 25 years. For South Asian households worldwide, it’s basically a cultural institution — the film that defined 90s romance and still gets quoted at desi weddings today.
Are these stickers waterproof and will they peel off my water bottle?
Yes. The vinyl is waterproof and scratch-resistant with a strong adhesive that holds up to daily use. When applied to hard, smooth surfaces like a stainless steel water bottle, they’re dishwasher-safe. Apply to a clean, dry surface for the best hold.
I’m not familiar with Bollywood. Will I still appreciate these designs?
Absolutely. The art style is modern and playful, and the designs are beautiful on their own. That said, each sticker references a specific film moment, so there’s a whole extra layer of warmth once you look up the scenes. Many non-desi fans have fallen down the DDLJ rabbit hole after spotting these. Consider this your invitation.
What surfaces can I stick these on?
Laptops, water bottles, phone cases, planners, notebooks, journals, and any hard, smooth surface. For best results, apply to a clean, dry surface free of dust or oils. Avoid textured or porous surfaces where the adhesive may not bond fully.
Do the stickers come pre-cut or do I need to cut them myself?
They come individually cut and ready to apply. No scissors, no trimming. Just peel and stick.
