Featured reviews
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!

Mujhe Neendh na aye is a beautiful song from this super hit film. Dil is a teen romantic movie with lots of comedy and family drama added in. The first half is non stop comedy and is the best half. The second half is still good but a little bit more slower. Amir Khan is a fine actor and this is his early film where he delivers a good performance. Madhuri Dixit is the beautiful actress with so much talent who is great in this film. Anupom Kher is A Class in this film playing a wealthy man who wants more money and is stingy as hell. He is fantastic and made me laugh through the whole film. Great Direction, Lovely film, Nice songs and a simple storyline. I have seen this film 10 times and im still not bored of this.
"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!!

Dil review :
A zingy romantic comedy with great music and fantastic performances; Dil was a hit from the word go...
Aamir Khan and Madhuri Dixit were the college kiddos who play pranks on each other to get even only till it gets too far when Madhuri falsely accuses Aamir of rape. In an intense scene, Aamir abducts Madhuri and threatens her - "Ab main tumhe batata hoon rape kya hota hai!!". Of course, he is no Ranjeet to actually commit the crime and finally, love blossoms between the two. "Mujhe neend naa aaye. Mujhe chain naa aaye" follows...
Enter the two Pappas - Aamir's dad Anupam Kher as the miserly Hazari Prasad who fools the rich businessman and Madhuri ke wealthy Pitaji Mehra Saahab (Saeed Jaffrey) to think he is equally rich only to get his bubble burst on their engagement day. Oops!!. Aamir and Madhuri elope and the film then becomes a routine love story. Pyaar, sacrifice, misunderstanding, etc etc.
Indra Kumar's direction was super competent especially in the first half and he really utilized the best of Aamir and Madhuri. They looked so good together and with Anand Milind's outstanding music to compliment, Dil was a sure shot hit. The pair became so hot all of a sudden that their delayed venture Deewana Mujh Sa Nahin (1990) which was lying in the cans due to lack of distributors, found an easy release a few months later. All thanks to Dil!!

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
