5/10
Aamir's and Madhuri's hit together
18 March 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Indra Kumar is one director who made it big just by following one trend DIL was a superhit, his first film. The film brought Aamir and Madhuri for the first time together, they also starred in a dud Deewana Mujhsa Nahin in the same year. The film is like most films in 80s and 90s with first half being on comedy and second half on drama. The film starts with Anupam Kher playing a miser who dreams of making it big and fools Saeed Jaffrey who is a big man and father of Madhuri by pretending to act rich only to be insulted later. Aamir and Madhuri relationship starts with fights and pranks, there are some fun moments some too outlandish too,though the students in the college look too old but anywayz in bollywood films it's okay There's also a ghastly rape attempt scene which is well handled though The spat at the interval point is well handled and the second half is good though at times things are stretched too much like Aamir and Madz getting married in police station and also the climax which is similar to Aashiqui released in the same year.

Direction by Indra Kumar is decent Music by Anand-Milind was a rage, Khambe Jaisi is a good song, while Na Jaane Kahaan is superb, Dumb Duma Dumb was added later is also a good number

Aamir Khan plays the role well, this film was a comeback for him after duds post QSQT, Madhuri too does well, Anupam Kher though few years older to Aamir in real life, does his job well though at times he overdoes, Saeed Jaffrey hams as usual, rest are okay
