दिल का क्या कसूर

Watching this film really makes one wonder how the career of the talented late Divya Bharti would have etched out if not for her untimely death. She really was a talent, that combination between the sophistication and intense dramatic skill of Sridevi and the innocence and natural charm of Kajol. This film is one of the films she appeared in that fully showcased her extraordinary potential. But the film works not just because of Bharti and her sincere performance. It's really a nice story in and of itself, which I wish had not taken the course that it took in the second half.

The film starts with a nice romantic premise of unrequited love - a young rich girl (Bharti) who writes poetry under a pseudonym for the college magazine falls in love with a classmate she didn't get along with before who sings them and gains great popularity - unaware she is the author. Years go by and she keeps writing songs for him and promoting his career - he grows increasingly fond of this unknown poetess, but she never lets him know who she is, mostly because he was married as soon as he became a star and she'd rather keep it a secret. But this is just the nice first half.

The weird turn of events that the story takes around the leading lady, which is impossibly melodramatic, makes what could have been a wonderful, interesting romance into an exaggerated tear-jerker. With the amount of subtlety that the film employed in the first half, one wishes it wouldn't have lost it so soon, bu it still works to an extent because of the characters. The film is supported by debutant Prithvi and Suresh Oberoi as the caring and supportive brother. The music in the film is like all Nadeem-Sharavan soundtracks, melodious. Bharti's appearance makes the overall product worth a watch.

This movie is outstanding in terms of pure emotion and 100% unadulterated love. And why not, when someone as cute, sweet and beautiful like Divya Bharti was on-screen, and above that, was 'icing/topping' of the 90s Era.

What a lovely combination. The songs are 'evergreen', and it brings about that nostalgic feel of the good old days of early 90s, when we were in high school and had a soft corner in our heart for someone special at school.

This movie is all about unconditional love, which today's generation fails to understand. It's a must see movie.

In 90's bollywood , music were the heroes of the film and nothing exception for this film. Kumar Sanu's songs made most of the films hit/superhit despite of a poor movie and same goes for this one. Poor acting/storyline..nothing to mention. Songs were chartbursters and memorable till days.

The main thing why the movie is so special for me is because this was the first Hindi movie I had ever seen. At that time I was about seven years old. I fell in love with this movie. Still today, after fourteen years, I love this movie. It is a comparatively unknown movie. The movie is a love story.

Arun is a final year student in the college. Shalni, a class fellow falls in love with him. She is a good poet. She sends her poetry to college magazine and Arun incidentally reads it. Her poetic name is Seema. Arun has a great respect for Seema because he has sung Seema's poem in the college annual function and becomes popular. He and Shalni has a bad relationship in college and he does not know that Shalni loves him. After his completion of masters, he wants to find a job as he has no one in the world and he was studying on scholarship. In this period of crises, Shalni plans with her friend that why not she should help him build his career as a singer. But she does not want herself to be known to Arun as his career maker. She writes songs in magazines and collects funds for Arun's shows. Basically all the money is her. And then Arun becomes a star. What happens next I think should be known by watching the movie.

Music, acting and direction are great. Don't miss this one. Beware it is a little bit sad. But it is a complete story.
