Dil

"Dil" is a Bollywood romantic drama film released in 1990. Directed by Indra Kumar and produced by Ashok Thakeria, the movie stars Aamir Khan, Madhuri Dixit, Anupam Kher, and Saeed Jaffrey in prominent roles. It is known for its captivating storyline, soulful music, and remarkable performances by the lead actors.

The plot revolves around the love story of Raja (Aamir Khan) and Madhu (Madhuri Dixit). Raja is a carefree and mischievous young man who lives with his doting mother in a chawl (a type of low-income housing in India). He falls in love with Madhu, a talented and strong-willed girl from a wealthy family, who is also the daughter of Raja's employer.

The movie showcases the contrast between their backgrounds and societal norms, which creates obstacles in their love story. Madhu's father (Anupam Kher) disapproves of their relationship due to the difference in their social status. Despite facing opposition, Raja and Madhu continue to love each other and embark on a journey to prove the strength of their love.

The music of "Dil" was composed by Anand-Milind, and the songs became immensely popular, contributing to the film's success. Classics like "Mujhe Neend Na Aaye," "Humne Ghar Chhoda Hai," and "O Priya Priya" are still loved by audiences today.

Overall, "Dil" received positive reviews upon its release. The film's engaging narrative, powerful performances by the lead actors, and soulful music were highly appreciated. Aamir Khan and Madhuri Dixit's on-screen chemistry received particular praise. It also performed well at the box office and contributed significantly to the success of both Aamir Khan and Madhuri Dixit as leading stars in the Indian film industry.

"Dil" remains a beloved classic in the history of Bollywood cinema, cherished by audiences for its timeless story of love and resilience in the face of societal barriers.

First of all, it is Bollywood! So stop looking for signs of a Spielberg flick!! True, the plot is a Bollywood cliché; rich girl, poor boy, angry parents, etc. But keep in mind that the story line wasn't so tired and typical when this movie was first released and helped lead to a decade of romance-driven Bollywood movies. Khan portrays a solid character who has both comical and dramatic moments beautifully acted by him. And Madhuri, who won a best actress award for this role, delivers a great performance. The soundtrack is very good, thanks to the exceptional voice of Udit Narayan whose smile you can "hear" through the music. I gave this movie 5 starts instead of 4 because I have such fond memories of watching it when it came out in 1990. But compared to other Bollywood movies, it should really be a 4.

Dil was a youthful film with Aamir and Madhuri being paired together for the first time (or was it second with Deewana Mujh Sa Nahi?). Either way, the pairing was fresh and the audiences flocked to the cinema halls to make this film the biggest hit of the year.

The story in a nutshell was that of Anupam Kher, who runs a tiny shop buying old newspapers but wants his only son Raja (Aamir Khan) to get married to a rich businessman's (Sayeed Jaffery) daughter Madhu (Madhuri Dixit). He even tricks Jaffery into believing that he himself is a rich business tycoon. Initially Raja and Madhu cannot stand each other but soon they fall in love only to their parents opposing to the alliance once Jaffery discovers the truth about Anupam Kher. Will Raja and Madhu unite? The film has everything that a good entertainer during the 90s demanded. Comedy, action, drama, romance and good songs. Director Indra Kumar received a well deserved nomination for this film while Madhuri Dixit bagged her first filmfare award.

Music directors Anand-Milind continued their top phase with this film, which was the best music of the year until Aashiqui and Nadeem-Shravan decided to rewrite history. Nevertheless, the songs of the film were extremely popular and continue to be popular till date. This is one of the few albums where all the songs were a hit.

All in all, Dil is a good entertainer and a recommended watch. Go for it!

Mujhe Neendh na aye is a beautiful song from this super hit film. Dil is a teen romantic movie with lots of comedy and family drama added in. The first half is non stop comedy and is the best half. The second half is still good but a little bit more slower. Amir Khan is a fine actor and this is his early film where he delivers a good performance. Madhuri Dixit is the beautiful actress with so much talent who is great in this film. Anupom Kher is A Class in this film playing a wealthy man who wants more money and is stingy as hell. He is fantastic and made me laugh through the whole film. Great Direction, Lovely film, Nice songs and a simple storyline. I have seen this film 10 times and im still not bored of this.

This film is a hodge-podge of various idiotic cliches. For instance, boy-meets-spoilt-rich-girl and gets her to fall in love with him by harassing her in college (an over-used backdrop in recent Indian commercial films). A male chauvinistic glorification of sexual conquest. The climax is predictable (having been used ad nauseum in several other films). As with many other recent commercial Hindi films, the film abounds with the incongruous insertion of songs, which probably contributed to the film's success more than anything else.
