Fantastic fun and full of surprises
Fantastic fun and full of surprises
I stumbled over this film on late night TV and immediately ordered the DVD. It's a corker! Fresh, invigorating, romantic, bizarre even!
They don't make films like this in the West - and more's the pity but hence the freshness. The three lead actors are gorgeous - so it hardly matters that they must be the oldest students in town. The cinematography is beautiful - especially in the Australian sequences. The song and dance routines are as welcome as they are surprising.
As with all Hindi films, it is pure melodrama of course. The...more

Review from upperstall.com
Mohd. One cannot help but feel pleased after viewing Farhan Akhtar's debut feature - Dil Chahta Hai. The film is refreshingly different (yes it is actually 'different') from the standard run of the mill fare one is accustomed to in mainstream Hindi Cinema (Thank God for Lagaan too!!!) The film takes a look at the friendship of three graduates Akash (Aamir Khan), Sameer (Saif Ali Khan) and Siddharth (Akshaye Khanna) and their efforts to find love. Farhan gives us a much more warm, witty, poignant and humorous portrayal of young friendship treated in a refreshingly candid manner without bowing to the...more
