Dil Chahta Hai
By Yamini Popli
Dil chahta hai is an amazing entertainment movie, written and directed by Farhan Akhtar. A story of three friends, Akash (Amir Khan), Sameer (Saif Ali Khan) and Sidharth (Akshaye Khanna). A movie which is truly based on friendship.
The expectations for the movie is very high because of various reasons. One, the film is a multi- starrer movie. Second, the film marks the debut of Javed Akhtar son Farhan Akhtar. And thirdly the promotion of the film has generated a lot of hype.
Akash does not believe in love as he feels that love ruins a perfect healthy relationship. Sameer is a believer. He is wants love and loves to be in love. But he is yet to find his ‘Special one‘. Unfortunately he keeps on bumping in to wrong choices but still doesn’t leave hope. He believes he will find his love one day if he keeps searching. Sidharth is an understanding sensitive and mature person. Sid, as he known in the movie knows the true meaning of love. He feels in love every day. He has a great loves for his friends, for a stray dog, for the tree that is planted outside, love for his mother, love for his acquaintance.
Dil Chahta Hai is a film on these three different characters their relationships and the effect on their relationships on each other. The performance of all the three stars Amir khan, Saif Ali Khan and Akshaye Khanna is outstanding and marvellous. The music of the movie is very refreshing. The movie has many light moments. It has amusing lines.
Now a critical analysis of the film. The film is made on modern lives. Its concept is more as a English film. Sidharth is in love with a women elder to him which would not be accepted by the Indian masses. Overall the movie is the best entertaining film I have ever seen. Full credit must be given to Farhan Akhtar who has broken the Bollywood Norms in order to make an enjoyable movie. Three cheers to him and his team. The movie is the best in modern day urban Mumbai and Sydney. It focuses on a major period of transition in the romantic lives of three friends. The movie was released in 2001 and it won National Filmfare award for best feature film in Hindi.
Amir Khan proves his supremacy. He is a brilliant actor. Wonderful performance by the actor. Though he had a difficult role where he did not believe in love but ultimately falls into love with Shalini (Preeti Zinta) whom he met in the flight.
Preeti Zinta looks very hep and shows a remarkable performance in a movie. Saif Ali Khan’s performance was also very hilarious. He is not once overshadowed by the presence of two powerful actors. He has done justice to his role. This is one of his excellent performance till date.
Akshaye Khanna speaks less in the movie but conveys a lot through his expressions. He is an actor par excellence. He had the most complex character yet he performs it with much ease.
This movie has Goa very famous as a destination to visit. The Chapora Fort is the spot where the Dil Chahta Hai scenes were shot, some also call it as the Dil Chahta Hai Fort and it is now the attraction of Goa. The way the three friends had travelled to Goa and had enjoyed their life to the fullest was something very different which had set a wish in the minds of young audience to travel to go with their friends.
