Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin

Does the heart listen? Just follow your heart and avoid conflict (easier said than done)...that is up to debate.

I liked Aamir and Pooja, I saw this during early 90s. Another reason why I miss the 90s. I could write a Thesis on why the 1990s were the best time for Indian cinema.

A magical time in Indian cinema. Pooja Bhatt was the only honest and real actress around, now they all try to be all that and then some. Sorry girls there is only one Pooja Bhatt and she is still fabulous.

There is a song that my dad recorded on a song tape...(I had my own collection). The one I am referring to is when Pooja's character is singing about her boyfriend and Aamir's is singing about his imaginary girlfriend.

All the songs are poetry put to music and they are the soul of the film. All Bhatt productions are very soulful. That is what makes them special.

The song where they conflict is the best because it demonstrates how complex love can be. Pooja's character does not want to change her mind...Aamir's character is aware of her situation and yet he does not willing to give up. Singing about emotions is the best form of expression. Music is great but words are clear and direct.

Pooja Bhatt is too young and too talented as an artist to sit behind the camera. I loved all her movies. I also liked reading her interviews when I was younger.

Aamir Khan is perfection that continues today...Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan are also very good actors in the work that they do.

Everyone knows my favorite is Shah Rukh Khan ever since the 1998 Awesome Foursome concert.

As many of us know this movie is a rip-off of It Happened One Night. Not even one scene has been left out, yes songs have been added and some cheap comedy by the characters. I guess bollywood movies don't need storywriters or scriptwriters coz 99% of bollywood movies are copied/inspired/rip-offs from Hollywood or Japanese/Korean/French/Russian movies. If they(foreign counterparts) don't make movies, we'll be short of scripts and bollywood will be finished. But eventually I guess, nowadays we don't need their(Hollywood) story coz nowadays the quality of movies made in India are very pathetic. Nowadays, there is no storyline, the only genre of movies being made is comedy and that too very, very cheap. Item songs in a movie is a must nowadays for the success of the movie. We have and are acquiring the technology in film-making but not the class/quality of films.

From tackling grim and mature subjects like Arth (1982), Janam (1985) and Naam (1986) in the 80s, Mahesh Bhatt moved on to more commercial cinema in the 90s. Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin was a musical romcom starring Aamir Khan, Pooja Bhatt and Anupam Kher.

Loosely inspired from 'It Happened One Night' (1934), Bhatt Saahab was clever enough to indianise the plot for his audience through a lovely soundtrack (Nadeem Shravan in full form) and presenting a fresh young pair - Aamir and Pooja - who sadly never teamed up again.

Pooja played a richie rich heiress on the run from her eccentric father (Anupam Kher) while Aamir Khan was Raghu Jaitley, a street smart journo, who strikes a deal to help her out in return for her exclusive story. The film also had elements of 'road movie genre' which was not quite common in Bollywood those days.

Aamir and Pooja rocked as a pair and this film certainly ranks amongst Pooja's top three performances - the other two being Daddy (1990) and Sadak (1991).

I watched the film in its first weekend at Gaiety Galaxy, Bandra and then multiple times on VHS. The melodious numbers, Aamir Pooja's super cool chemistry and the hilarious climax is still etched in my mind. Do give it a try if you still haven't seen it.

This movie still feels so fresh and endearing ❤❤💯 can watch it anytime 😊 many new movies have taken ideas from this film...... #truelove #journey #goodmusic.

I watched this movie when I was a teenager. Later I have watched it again a couple of times and its as entertaining as it was on the first time.

Anupam Kher is a talented actor, he fits well into a spectrum of roles. But I like him most as a comedian. In this movie he plays the father of the girl (Pooja Bhatt) and he plays it well :)

Some very nice songs too. Certainly worth watching.
