Dil Chahta Hai Review

The Akhtar siblings are spot-on,when it comes to movies on friendships and coming to terms with life! Dil Chahta Hai,was one of the pioneers in the genre where friendships,maturity,love and reality were woven in a smooth fabric.They nurtured three separate set-ups of mind,yet were inseparable in their camaraderie. Once they are done with the college-farewell party,their paths begin to separate and so does their choices. Aakash(Amir) is the rich heir who is sent to Australia when his parents find him not serious about his whereabouts. Akash keeps on bumping into Shalini(Preity) whom he finds himself attracted to,and he has a lot of challenges ahead if he has to win her over. On the other hand, there is Sameer(Saif),the funnyman in the group who is sensitive enough to fall in love every second and then stupid enough to be fooled by the women. His parents are trying to fix his match with a girl,Sonali(Sonali Kulkarni) whom he finds attractive,yet she is disinterested. And the complication in the life of Sid is even more compelling as he finds himself immensely drawn towards an older woman,(Dimple) a relationship,no one approves.

With the sudden changes in lifestyle, coupled with alienation, heartbreak, complications, ,relationships these young boys from college gradually get acquainted with reality and learn to embrace life with matured outlook. They submit themselves to their passions and learn to extract every bit of happiness from given opportunities-they struggle to cope with what their hearts want(dil chahta hai). This journey makes the story beautiful and strikes chord with the audience, both the young and the matured alike. Very very touching,all the performances and the music.
