      Done by Yash Chopra

      This film has reached expectations beyond belief and it is no surprise that Dil Tu Pagal Hai was done by none other than Yash Chopra. I'm into musicals and romances, which was probably why I adore this film and is the best. The performances were phenomenal, but that is no surprise coming from stars such as Shah Rukh Khan who is the 'Baadshah' of Bollywood (plus i recommend you watch Veer-Zaara - that film I think surpasses this one in some scenes). Madhuri Dixit had come back again in this film after Hum Aapke Hain Kaun... and to me she is the best dancer and actress I have ever seen in Bollywood. Karisma Kapoor was exceptional as Nisha in the film and I think no one else could have done her role better as the modern Indian girl - though now it is seen in practically all Yash Raj films (e.g. Mujhse Dosti Karogi). Watch the film and hopefully you'll love it as much as me.

      Wow!

      This is the first mainstream Bollywood film I've ever seen and I loved it! And I don't even like musicals! The part that got to me was the romance. I've always been a dreamer and I'm a sucker for the stuff in this film.

      I also liked much of the dancing. It was more modern and Western than I expected. I'm anything but a dance connoisseur, but I preferred the stuff in this film to Alvin Ailey by a longshot. I'm looking forward to watching more Bollywood films now, though the selection of them with English subtitles is less than I would like.

      songs made my heart go crazy

      First of all, this is a commercial bollywood movie and so if you looking for a classy-art-flick then this ain't for you. The songs are very good and can't choose a single best one as they all are. The choreography dance sequence between Lolo and Maduri is something to look for. The camera-work is an eye candy and of course the movie sets. Lolo's role was memorable and no wonder she was presented the silver lotus. Madhuri was pleasing with her beautiful dance steps and of course with her smile. SRK (one of the best entertainer) will keep you charmed throughout the movie. I loved the theme that has such beautiful message. AK was well supportive with his screen presence. . The few sentimental scenes near the climax were annoying and director could've edited it out and the movie could've been made shorter at least by half an hour.

      Beautiful

      The moivie is very nice, and wonderful work. Nice story and nice way to show that love does exists some where for every one. I hope there is someone for me too like Rahul. The movie title is good too, and the characters are really unique. The characters that Yash Chopra is trying ot show us do exist in real world, and we all look for the 'certain someone' for us just as Mathuri (Pooja) does. We do find the perfect match for us but it's up to us to figure it out if they are really the person that god made for us. Good movie, and nice songs.

      This film is a real piece of art

      Is there someone made for you ? If you don't believe in this yet, you better watch this film.It takes place on a theater stage, where the play and the reality mix up to show the genius of the director. Honestly, it is one of the best Indian films (of witch I am actually a fan)that I saw. Trust me, you will love the music, the dance, and many other things. But most of all, you will change your opinion about a great thing called : LOVE . You will have answers on questions about the borders between friendship and love .. I will not say more than one statement : if you didn't see the film yet you can't be a fan of love stories. This film is worth some hours from you life , so try to see it today ..
