This is wonderful whole movie is full of action comedy this movie didn't bore u starting to end beautiful movie
Don't listen to any of the crap about this movie. It's much better than the overrated movies of its era e.g Dil to Pagal hai etc.... I have watched it a few times myself. A full entertainer....
Mela is an action film revolving around a woman who wants revenge against a robber for destroying her life. A simple story but narrated from rural Ego. It glorifies the Unprogressiveness of a certain sections of society which ages very badly. Dharmesh Darshan didn't foresaw the calculation of that. Mela in short is a tale of revenge, bloodshed and eroticism between them.
Firstly, the audio, the BGM were so loud that you will feel the heat of the mood. Every frame has that high tonal attitude, which goes like that upto the end. The characters are too same. Amir is passion driven, lacks the steadfastness and emotional fool. A very bad choice for a protagony. His friend is good though, feels like a hard man but he is a supporting cast only. Twinkle face reflects purely the capitalist attiude, who wears revealing dress of a village damsel, with fiery eyes and soft emotions. Such an odd combination is this. The film in summary is a total combo package of emotional outbursts that display passion for revenge, bloodshed and wild desires.
Ofcourse, sexuality is seen lowly in the film but the actresses strategies and her very appearance will confuse you. After a lot of emotional drama and this-that, all the good guys kills the bad guys in worst possible manner. You will laugh yourself out if you think logically "In which country are they from ? Or where are the Police and civilized people ?" The energy you get from it is fire burning somewhere and DD explicitly attempted to portray that in screen. It's your choice if you want to see it but by rating it will be a 22 on a scale of 100.

Acting (including Aamir Khan) is either bad or loud or both. The story is not very gripping. Twinkle Khanna sealed her fate as a failed actor with this movie. She has an amazing complexion. But the rest is plain bad. Despite having superstar parents, she does not have any talent as actor. Faizal Khan is boring. Just showing off muscles does not amount to acting. The villains are unreal and ugly. Blatantly plagiarizing the scene from Dumb and Dumber was done badly (I never thought this was possible!). The mela title song is tooooooo long and repetitive. I wonder what was the director thinking?
The whole movie is a waste of time. Not worth watching.

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.

- 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.
