Why DIL TO PAGAL HAI should have won more hearts than it did!

" SOMEONE SOMEWHERE IS MADE FOR YOU "

FOR ALL THE TEENS OUT THERE :)

Hey guys!

In the year 1997 came a movie, which made youngsters fall in love with the essence of dancing. The movie halls were filled with audiences who almost shook their legs to every song.

DIL TO PAGAL HAI  was the movie and it swept away awards and hearts of teenagers. Critics called it a portrait of a newly prosperous India, in rainbow colours. It has also been listed as one of the top 10 Yash Chopra films. 

But why top 10? We personally feel it was one of the best. While Indians were made to believe that the movie screamed dancing and love, we believe it screamed friendship. Bollywood gave us movies like Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani , Sholay, Dil Chahta Hai. They took friendship to a different level altogether. However the purest form of a relation in terms of friendship, was beautifully depicted throughout this movie. 

Why we say so? Not because we are biased towards SRK or the movie, but because Dil To Pagal Hai showed real life bonds.Two close friends, shared their mutual love for dancing. Nisha ( Karishma Kapoor) and Rahul ( Shahrukh Khan). While Nisha was in love with him, he cared for her beyond words. While she was the expressive kind,  his humour won her heart. However he did fall in love, but not with her. It broke her heart but friendship won at the end. Yes he knew she loved him, but that’s how love is. It just happens! She stood for him till the end like a TRUE friend. That’s what friendship is all about, right? 

And then there was Pooja ( Madhuri Dixit) who believed in destiny and the guy of her dreams. Agreed to marry her friend Ajay ( Akshay Kumar),even though she was in love with someone else. The very last scene of the movie showed how Ajay helped her win the guy of her dreams, and not sacrifice her love for anybody! Friendship goals, hmm!

For the ones who have watched the movie, remember the scene where Nisha confesses her love to Rahul, post a party? Cheesy, yes. Why we loved the scene? Because she poured out her heart to a friend.Probably she knew he wouldn’t reciprocate. Even then she expressed herself, in an honest way!The easiest thing there, she was saying that to a friend, her best friend.

Again, the scene near the lake, where Nisha and Rahul were conversing. It’s a heart touching scene where they talk about their unfulfilled love. Real life much right?

We could have mentioned the love part. We could have mentioned about how Rahul and Pooja fell in love and how their love story was the background of the movie! But doesn’t Bollywood deal with that in almost every movie. There is always a happy ending to a love story. But amidst such happy endings, there is unreciprocated love, broken hearts and major friendship bonds. 

We can't expect bad acting when it’s a movie with three amazing stars. It wasn’t hyped like many other movies. We have friends who literally commented something like “ I don’t remember the movie much, because I danced throughout in the hall I guess” :’D 

Well this movie all we can say, is relatable! 

For the ones who haven’t watched the movie yet, PLEASE WATCH. And for the ones who have, WATCH AGAIN! We expect your feedback in the comments section. And your ideas for the next video is welcome :D 
For the ones who aren't Bollywood buffs, wait for the next post ;)
