Rating: - very slow beginning but worth the journey
My daughter (also a Bollywood fan)ended up abandoning this movie early. It was very flat and slow at the beginning and we found the immature jerk character a bit irritating.
Fortunately I stuck with it as it picked up and I cared about these characters. The jerk (the excellent hero of Lagaan)redeems himself too.
I did have a problem with the artist as he didnt look that artsy and has a perpetually curled lip when he smiles that looks like a mocking scowl often. Having seen him earlier ... Read More
Rating: - Good step into Bollywood
This is a good step into Bollywood if you like cross-cultural straddlers like Bride and Prejudice, Monsoon Wedding or Bend It Like Beckham (Widescreen Edition). Dil Chahta Hai features the powerhouse Bollywood triumvirate of superstar Aamir Kahn, Akshaye Khanna ("he of the uber-expressive eyebrows," as another reviewer notes perfectly) and Saif Ali Khan. Like many Bollywood releases, this is a long one - almost 3 hours - but the trade-off is worth it. Writer/director Farhan Akhtar uses the time to ... Read More
Rating: - "I don't think she was from Switzerland, either."
DIL CHAHTA HAI follows the lives of three recent college graduates and long time friends as their paths diverge and intersect thru a span of two years. Akash (Aamir Khan, excellent in Lagaan - Once Upon a Time in India) is the callous and cynical one, Sameer (Saif Ali Khan) is in love with being in love, and Siddharth "Sid" (Akshaye Khanna, he of the overwrought eyebrows) is the contemplative painter. The film lays out their tangled love lives and how that affects their friendship. For the dismissive ... Read More
Rating: - Love at last ...
15 minutes into the movie I was not certain I would like it. But the story grew on me and before I knew it, the entire 185 minutes had gone by and I felt nicely entertained. I confess I did not particularly care for the music. So I took it for what it was ... film music ... which did not distract from the picture. The dance scenes were good. This is definitely one of the better Bollywood "Comedies of Errors". Camera work, locations, colours, editing, all very appealing. The acting is believable. Plenty ... Read More
Rating:  - Best of Bollywood
Definitely a fun movie with great Hindi music. More than that, it is a GOOD story too. It starts out light, singing and dancing in a club with MTV like special effects, but it becomes a very good story very soon. It is a long film, but a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon while the guys watch football. I bought one for me to keep, and 1 to give as a gift.
I really enjoyed Lagaan, also with Amir Khan, and this one is defintely on the same level or higher.
