Gee whiz! So many people I've spoken with are so hard on this movie! I saw this movie and really enjoyed it. Of course, Aamir Khan was great and he did carry a lot of the movie, but every movie I've seen with him he tends to outshine everyone else.
Am I so alone? Was there ANYONE else out there that enjoyed this film? I really thought Faisal was a good fit for the character he played. Clue me in - why is everyone so harsh on this film? Is it because they can't see past Sholay?
I would like to see more movies in this style; of course, there are so many Bollywood movies I might die before I am about to see 1/5 of them, but I always remember to turn off my brain and try to see the film as the directors meant it to be seen; and not to make comparisons. If we tried to compare every actor to Aamir, they'd all be found wanting.
All the Best to everyone; and chin up, Faisal! Someone out here thinks you are a success at what you do. I loved Shankar.

This is wonderful whole movie is full of action comedy this movie didn't bore u starting to end beautiful movie
Mela is a Hindi action masala film directed by Dharmesh Darshan.This is most popular movie. The characters were very genuine.It stars Aamir Khan, his real-life brother Faisal Khan and Twinkle. The starting part of the film was wonderful. After this the main part of film is starts. theme of the story was near about creativity. Theme music was very nice. Plot of the movie was amazing. Songs was good. Title song 'mela dilon ka' was very famous song.The music was composed by four composers with Anu Malik, Rajesh Roshan, and Lesle Lewis composing the songs and Surinder Sodhi composing the film score.End of the film was so well.finally i rated this movie with 3 stars.
I watched this movie several times. It gives goosebumps. Few of the song are good like mela dilon ka aata hai literally travells me back to the past. I don't know about the feeling of mela these days but it gave us great feeling. Comedy is there. Good action sequences. Although the acting done by twinkle khanna and faizal khan disappointed a lot. But, the comedy part was good specially performed by amir khan, johnny lever. Climax is lengthy but good action sequences. I watched this movie several times. It is difficult to believe that this movie failed at box office. Daku Gurjar was not as par gabbar. But is good.
Mela is well directed by Dharmesh Darshan and it is definitely a classic of 2000 as compared to songs of this movie.
All songs are great specially the title song totally do justice to the film and it is very impactful whenever the situation arises.
Don't know why it was a flop at the box office or why people hate this film because it is well directed as compare to other films that were released in 2000.
Performance of all actors are good none of them disappoint specially TWINKLE KHANNA yes her acting sometime disappoint in some scenes but the way she has maintain her personality and her physic in this film is just great to watch. And whoever her costume designer is there in this film is a total lover of her navel because not a single scene is there in which she hasn't shown her navel in the film.
Aamir & Faisal act brilliantly good specially the Villain is the soul of this film truly brilliant acting by him.
Music, Screenplay, Cinematography all are good and engaging so definitely you can watch if you love 2000 film's taste in Bollywood style....

- TriviaMela is considered Aamir Khan's worst film and he himself has said that the film was one of his biggest mistakes in his film career. He said that the film was not the way he wanted it to be at all, and had many disagreements with director Dharmesh Darshan. Most days Aamir became so upset that he would even refuse to film. And when the film released, Aamir was extremely disappointed with the final outcome.
