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.

Dil is really a fun film to revisit for its youthful energy and romantic feel. The film has a very strong first half, which fucuses on the tension between the two leads - Aamir Khan and Madhuri Dixit. They really work well together and do a wonderful job with the love-hate relationship. The scenes of romantic realisation are absolutely charming. The film's second half is far less intriguing, as it takes a sharp dramatic turn and makes the overall product seem to consist of two different films.

Aamir Khan, in one of his early films, does what he did pretty much in each one of his films in those years, playing the innocent young romantic fool, and he does it well. It is Madhuri who charges the film with her graceful presence and extraordinary beauty, and hers is actually a truly good performance. Her transformation during the course of the film from an impetuous brat to a caring, mature housewife, is very credible.

Without taking anything from these two young charmers, the film actually belongs to the two fathers, Anupam Kher and Saeed Jaffrey, who steal the show with their impeccable comic timing. Kher is great as the pathetic, eccentric and greedy Hazari Prasad, but it is Saeed Jaffrey who made me laugh out loud with his officious antics. Just see the scene in which he finds out about Kher's identity - totally hilarious.

Mind you, Dil is a mainstream Hindi romantic film and should be viewed in the right context. Those who will try to take it too seriously are bound to be disappointed. It is to be enjoyed for its soul and young spirit. The film's music is beautiful. "Mujhe Neend Na Aaye" is a classic, but so are the other numbers. Dil is overall a charming romance with many great moments and even though it gets a little more serious like most films of its sort, it remains a watchable and entertaining Hindi.

"Dil" is my favorite Hindi film. Aamir Khan and Madhuri Dixit are both SENSATIONAL actors, and I really wish they had done more films together. Since both Aamir and Madhuri are talented actors, together, they make an excellent pair. Plus, they are both good-looking. I love this movie - it is filled with drama, romance, and comedy. I find many Hindi films to be slow and boring, but not this one.

Films such as Dilwale Dulhanie Le Jayenge, Taal, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, and Dil To Pagal Hai turned out to be hits. To be quite honest, I found these films to be so slow and boring, I nearly fell asleep halfway through. Dil is not a boring film. It is a great, entertaining, emotional film, a must-see. So romantic. Raja and Madhu are deeply in love.

Dil is the best Hindi film ever!!

The movie is very sweet and emotional.Direction is not bad.Script is great.Story is nice.It tells about Raja who meets Madhu.At first sight they fight.Then they discover love,Engagement is planned,But it is broken soon.They want to be together,But they marry.But they broke off.This was Inder Kumars debut who gave us entertainers like Beta,Raja,Ishq,Mann,Dhammal.Aamir gives a terrific performance he should have received best actor rather than the Pathetic Sunny Deol in Ghayal that year.Madhuri also gives another terrific performance.Deven and Anupham also give great performances.The first half has comedy that keeps you very entertained.Second half has lots of Drama and Romance that also keeps you entertained.Chemistry is wonderful.Dancing is great.Comedy is great and funny to.The music by Anand Miland is perfect.Songs like"Humne Ghar Choda Hai","Hum Pyar Karne Wala" are very emotional and are quite melodious tracks.The movie is a watch Rating-7/10

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!
