Dil Ka Rishta

Well, Dil Ka Rishta is a poorly written melodrama which offers nothing special to its audiences except for some moments here and there and a beauty named Aishwarya Rai. The story is clichéd and pointless, and the proceedings are nothing but ordinary and uninteresting series of events which make absolutely no sense. At times I felt it was just made for the sake of making. The film's music is also not particularly good, which is a great disappointment since I've always liked Nadeem Shravan's compositions regardless of how much I enjoyed a film. The title song is nice though. The film stars Aishwarya Rai in the leading role of Tia. She is beautiful, that's something that has been said a million times already but it's not enough to carry the film, especially considering that her acting is not very impressive in this film and she is just okay. See movies like Devdas and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam to understand how the combination of her beauty and acting makes wonders. Arjun Rampal is also okay though in his favour it can be said that he tried his best. Talents like Isha Koppikar and Paresh Rawal are once again wasted, and sadly so. To sum it up, Dil Ka Rishta is a forgettable film which could be easily skipped or avoided.

You would think that a movie starring the beautiful Aishwarya Rai and Arjun Rampal, there would be potential, but no, it fails on every level. It starts off like a normal family film, but takes a sudden turn once Rampal's character, Jai, finds out that Rai's character, Tia, is engaged to the love of her life, Raj (Priyanshu Chatterjee). From there, the movie goes downhill. Tia loses her memory and starts falling for Jai, but he constantly pushes her away. It just gets ridiculous when they say that regaining her memory will cause her to go crazy, but when everything is revealed at the end, she forgives him because she doesn't remember the past. That's a major plot devise. I feel sorry for Alka Yagnik and Kumar Sanu, two of the best singers, to have sung the songs in this film. Do not even go near it. If you see, just walk away.

Dil ka rishta is a worth see for fans of aishwarya but for others it doesn't delivers too much. The pre-release hype rose expectations of viewers but apart from good performances by aishwarya (as tia) and arjun rampal (sa jai) the film fails to deliver much. The movie is about this guy jai who loves tia so much that even after around four years of their last meeting he drinks to fight with the memories of his first (and last) love. And finally when he decides to give up the alcohol thing he crashes into tia's car. Tia loses her husband and guess what her memory (..phew). Any how first half keeps you interesting but the fate of the movie depends on the second half which is penned unimaginably. Predictably now tia is after jai and he cant reciprocate knowing the truth (and the presence of tia's mother). Somehow he describes the whole thing to tia (though Dr claimed it could cause her death..:() Anyhow arjun rampal has come up with a great performance while aishwarya has done her bit looking amazing sometimes and disappointing othertimes (esp in the song daiya daiya..). A lot of effort wasted i guess with a loose ending. The writer and the director should have culminated the story in a much more intriguing and efficient manner.

I loved this movie. The acting was phenomenal and the story was incredibly well written. A touching romance.

The irresistible, macho and perfect man Jai fails to win over the woman of his dreams Tia. Destiny plays its cruel games and in Tia's eyes, Jai soon sees the love, affection and adoration that he had only dreamt of. However, he cannot reciprocate her affection; cannot give Tia a place in his heart although he loves her silently and intensely. What makes Tia fall in love with Jai? Why does Jai turn away from that precious love? All is revealed in 'Dil Ka Rishta', a touching film and an emotional journey on celluloid.

Dil ka rishta is an extremely underrated movie with an amazing cast of Aishwarya, Arjun Rampal, Paresh Rawal and Rakhi Gulzar and worth mentioning special appearance by Priyanshu Chaterjee. Though the movie was released in 2003 but it has all the components of the 90s cinema. The music of Nadeem Shravan was beautiful, especially Dil churale and the title song. Arjun Rampal and Aishwarya Rai both did a decent job. Arjun Rampal looked so handsome and Priyanshu Chatterjee was phenomenal in his special screen time, the movie is more tragic than romance and sensitive in various aspects. Overall a good family emotional drama, give it a try it will not disappoint you.
