Dil review :
A zingy romantic comedy with great music and fantastic performances; Dil was a hit from the word go...
Aamir Khan and Madhuri Dixit were the college kiddos who play pranks on each other to get even only till it gets too far when Madhuri falsely accuses Aamir of rape. In an intense scene, Aamir abducts Madhuri and threatens her - "Ab main tumhe batata hoon rape kya hota hai!!". Of course, he is no Ranjeet to actually commit the crime and finally, love blossoms between the two. "Mujhe neend naa aaye. Mujhe chain naa aaye" follows...
Enter the two Pappas - Aamir's dad Anupam Kher as the miserly Hazari Prasad who fools the rich businessman and Madhuri ke wealthy Pitaji Mehra Saahab (Saeed Jaffrey) to think he is equally rich only to get his bubble burst on their engagement day. Oops!!. Aamir and Madhuri elope and the film then becomes a routine love story. Pyaar, sacrifice, misunderstanding, etc etc.
Indra Kumar's direction was super competent especially in the first half and he really utilized the best of Aamir and Madhuri. They looked so good together and with Anand Milind's outstanding music to compliment, Dil was a sure shot hit. The pair became so hot all of a sudden that their delayed venture Deewana Mujh Sa Nahin (1990) which was lying in the cans due to lack of distributors, found an easy release a few months later. All thanks to Dil!!
