The stories and movies to which a person best relates, often become their most cherished. Remember that adage! Cause the day you find a romantic film as relevant to your life as Dil Chahta Hai is to people of my generation, you will also be unable to forget its images, dialogues, performances and story-line. That will always be the place Farhan Akhtar’s first directorial venture holds in my heart. (There’s something about the rawness and unharnessed energy of newbie directors that helps many of them excel their first round at the turnstiles.)
It works so well because Akhtar has targeted the final product at an intelligent audience, and taken many commendable risks along the way. He knows we’re sick and tired of all the unreal shenanigans seen ad nauseam in countless Bollywood love stories the past few decades. So this one’s told with maturity, realistic drama and comic panache
