Dil Ka Rishta

Dil Ka Rishta is really not a bad movie, but it does falter in a bit. The story-line is way too predictable. Boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl but girl is in love with another man. Then boy gets depressed and girl marries the other man until tragic happens. Yup. That sums it up in 2 hours of a movie. I like romantic movies but this one i can just pass and call it a day. Performance wise: Aishwarya Rai was good but she really needs to stop crying at everything. Arjun Rampal was okay. I honestly wished someone else can fill in for Priyanshu Chaterjee, but then again who would wanna be wasted? Paresh Rawal and Rakhee Gulzar were amazing. I wish i could see more Rakhee in newer films.

The saving grace of the movie was the music. I don't know why you guys hate the music? The music was excellent. All the songs were great. Nadeem-Shravan never disappoints with music, though i wish they could make more. Nowadays, Bollywood music sucks. I wish the old days were back. And that's why i rated the movie with 7, mostly because of the music

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.

Dil ka Rishta will soon be a forgotten memory in Ashwaria career.

The concept of the story is a tried and tested formula guaranteed with some level of success. Unfortunately, it comes at a time when Indian audiences are expecting more from movie then a simple story being retold. They expect a new twist or angle or a new concept all together. This Dil ka Rishta does not deliver.

There is nothing new to the story that has already not been seen before: boy likes girl, she likes someone else and by coincidental twist of fate the boy is responsible for the girls future. The locations are all to common and the songs not that memorable.

It is an unfortunate fact that Ash, as good as she is has not delivered an entertaining movie since her Taal / Devdas days, and with only a few big banner projects for 2004, one wonders if she is still the reigning queen of bollywood?

Dil Ka Rishta's script is like it came from my childhood romantic imagination. I love romantic movies, I love musicals, I love beautiful people. This movie has it all. It was my very first real Bollywood movie. As I watched it, I could not believe my eyes. An extremely beautiful leading man falling for an extremely beautiful leading lady, songs galore, drama, comedy, music, dance, etc. Does a movie need anything more? I know that the script is a little hard to take for the western world but, let it slide, and embark on this wonderful ride that is Bollywood. Aishwarya carries the weight on the movie on her able shoulders especially when it comes to the dancing. She is a wonder to behold! In all of the songs, she is a revelation but more so in Saajan Saajan.

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.
