Dillagi

The end titillating well with any young man's dreams that both brothers finally got very beautiful wife. Khaya Piya Raj Kiya ! It is most shameful for Dharmendra to produce such a lousy movie at the fag end of his life. Looking to his years in Bollywood, he is always capable of the most lovely & enjoyable movies. Not clear why he is hell bent on producing such useless movie & giving wrong type of messaging to both his sons & the gullible audience? Sunny Deol is not fit for directing any movie, he is a very good actor & continue to act in good movies as he has done so well & successfully. On Booby Deol, the lesser said on his acting , the better!

This is NOT the typical action flick, but it is a fun movie to watch. Sunny and Bobby together for the first time ever made this a treat. In fact, Sunny did a great job as a first time director, which is well-deserved and commendable. There was some comedy and some good drama. Sunny as the big brother and Bobby as the brat acted very well. Although, this movie is a love story, but it was more than just that. It had many fun moments. Songs were decent, and the Punjabi style was excellent. One could have wished that Dharmendra was in the movie, but all 3 Deols are coming together in Apne this year (boxing drama), which is awesome. I wish that Sunny directs a movie later on in his career.

I'm 28 and I cannot believe it took me so long to watch this movie. Loved it. Reminded me of simpler times and genuine acting. Great job, Sunny Deol- you are amazing!

I thoroughly enjoyed Dillagi because all the actors are in great form, the songs and dances go perfectly with the story and is very well produced, photography and locations were top notch, and the story is interesting. My problem was the drawn out climax and anti-climax which went on way too long and was somewhat predictable.

I also had a major problem with the Eros DVD which was very skimpy on the sub-titles, almost to say that, if you don't know Hindi, that's your tough luck. It appears as if subtitles were used when someone felt the viewer had a need to know because there were several extended spots where no subtitles were available at all. None of the songs had subtitles which really hurt since, when you view the Making of Dillagi, Sunny Deol kept saying how all the songs were integral to the film in that they moved the storyline along.

Despite my reservations, I waver between a 7 and 8 because the overall production was so well done, especially the great songs -- 10 -- which all had great locations and choreography.

Two brothers at different circumstances fall for a common lady. Perhaps the plot sounds similar, and this slim story stretches for an inordinate three hours ultimately fizzling to a cliched climax. Yet the film doesn't deserve a bad review. Well the directorial debut of Sunny Deol isn't bad., which has instincts of few directorial flourishes and avoids the typical 90s gimmicks. Besides, the acting from the protagonists including the Deol brothers and Urmila Matondkar is pretty good, apart an overly done characterization of Bobby Deol. Overall, it isn't a very good film; but on the account of the gimmicky 90s movies, it's still welcome.
