It is a great a movie. It has a very good storyline and it doesn't bore you for one moment. It is really fun to watch it. Aamir Khan and Pooja Bhatt are both great in it. Very good romantic movie with amazing songs.
This is indeed an excellent indian version of It Happened One Night, the classic with Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert both of whom were about 6 inches (or nearly) taller than our Bollywood counterparts. The story has been indianized very well. The lead actors played by Aamir Khan and Pooja Bhatt provide a refreshing change from all the fatty and middle aged ones we have seen so many times in Indian movies of yester years. Aamir has done an excellent job as a smart mouthed reporter so much so the role looks tailor-made for him. Pooja Bhatt is always good in her dad's movies. Her hairstyle became a rave among teens of the nineties. Many twists and turns are provided in the story line to keep the indian audience seated for 3hrs. With good songs thrown in from time to time...it does the job. Check out 'Adhayen bhi hai', the fishermen song, the title song, 'Mainu ishq da lagiya rog', 'Dulhan tu dulha main ban jaonga', 'Tu pyar hai kisi aur ka' and above all 'O mere sapnon ke saudagar'. Deepak Tijori is good in cameo. Although the plot is already-seen, already-known many many times in many many movies (both Western and Indian), Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin is refreshing and is a must-watch for the whole family.
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 saw the ratings of the movie and was surprised that it is just 7.2....It should be around 8.5. This might be a copy of English movie-- It Happened One Night but I found it to be more like 'Roman Holiday'. I have seen both of these movies but I love 'DHKMTN' more. The actings are superb! The comedy is superb! The d are superb! Where can you get mix of comedy, good songs and romance -- all in one package! This is a gem of a movie for sure. I have a projector now and this movie suddenly came to mind. Always seen this movie in my laptop and finally had a chance to see it in a big screen if not in theatre. The Indianized version is far better than the western version lol....stop comparing to the western version and just enjoy the movie. I really loved the dance when 'Hum hai rahi pyaar ke' was playing on the radio. Great movie!
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.
