Counting how many times you have watched it? Here’s calling out all Dil Toh Pagal Hai fans to take this quiz and find out how much they still remember about the film. Though there was another angle too in this musical love triangle -Akshay Kumar as Ajay playing Madhuri’s childhood friend, the story mainly revolved around Rahul falling for Pooja, Nisha secretly in love with Rahul and Ajay admitting his feelings for Pooja, hence leading to a rather complicated love story.Īs the film marks 20 years of its release, it continues to be one of the best love stories that movie lovers can’t get enough of. Starring Shah Rukh Khan as Rahul, Madhuri Dixit as Pooja and Karishma Kapoor as Nisha, the (late) Yash Chopra directorial was a super-hit back then. Perhaps one of the most famous love triangles that Bollywood saw in the 90s, it’s been 20 years today (October 20) since Dil Toh Pagal Hai was released in 1997. The deep dialogues have touched us, made us think and perhaps emulate those thoughts into our lives.The hero loves a girl, the girl also loves him but is confused because her childhood friend loves her too and the hero’s best friend also loves him. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewaniīunny and Naina are characters which have stayed with us, the first time we saw Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. It's one of Saif Ali Khan's best work and also one of my favourite roles of Deepika Padukone despite the fact that she's done so many films after that.
Love Aaj KalĪgain, an Imtiaz Ali film - he brought such a beautiful relatability between love in old times and love today, and eventually making us draw a conclusion that love, when in its pure essence will be the same in any era. Perhaps, I love how he even treated the love story between Alia Bhatt and Randeep Hooda in Highway. I think he just has a very different way of presenting love stories and I love that. I am a huge fan of Imtiaz Ali's narrative and how he approaches his story - be it Socha Na Tha or Rockstar or Jab We Met. Their natural camaraderie, chemistry - Geet's energy mixed with Aditya's silence - made Jab We Met so heartwarming for me. There was something so beautiful between the friendship of Aditya and Geet in Jab We Met, that all through the film we were rooting for them to get together. So, go watch the classic, feel good, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, once again! Jab We Met They made us feel, they made us relate and they made us have fantasies around love. But that's the whole point of all these mentioned movies - that they did something to us. I'm sure, we are all guilty to have imagined that. Kuch Kuch Hota HaiĪt some point in our life, we have all wished to have that the quintessential Rahul-Anjali dancing in the rain, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai moment happens to us. The performances, music and of course Chopra's signature touch - Veer Zaara is a classic. It was a treat for SRK fans to see him in this avatar and this kind of romance too. The film was so beautiful and made us believe in these values all over again. Veer ZaaraĪnother Yash Chopra classic, Veer Zaara spoke about patience and persistence in love, which seems missing today. Madhuri Dixit's monochrome dresses, innocence and chemistry with SRK, Karisma Kapoor's energy, the music and of course Khan's inimitable charm - this film takes me to a different space all together.
Also, this one was directed by Yash Chopra himself. But I have to say this and it may be different from popular belief that I like Dil To Pagal Hai more! It was a different level of a story, treatment and an extremely contemporary appeal. Okay, honestly, I sometimes have a tough time deciding whether I like Dil To Pagal Hai more of DDLJ because they both give a different feeling and its own beautiful vibe. The dialogues to its music to the iconic pairing of Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol - everything about DDLJ is a part of our pop culture and this one is just one of its kind! Dil To Pagal Hai It was showing for about 25 years at Maratha Mandir and during the pandemic when there were no new movies coming in, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge had again started playing there. No film in India has enjoyed such a long run in the theatres. No points for guessing this is the first film on the list. Check these out! Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge It's difficult to choose just some but I'm picking out 7 love stories which have a universal appeal and which remain evergreen. But the truth is, that these have been such well-made films with such beautiful narratives that I can't get bored of them. We've grown up on some of these movies and hence, they also set in a big rush of nostalgia. Valentine's day is round the corner, love is in the air and here's just another reason for die-hard romantics like me to indulge into some of my favourite on-screen love stories again.
