10 things I like about DCH..



In 2001 something magical happened in Indian silver screen..and after that life was not the same ..






It is a story of 3 dudes - one street smart, one confused and one vague. They came, did some crazy things, mouthed some cool dialogues about life and love, changed- and well with them, changed the life style of a whole urban generation literally. It has been 10 years since Farhan Akhtar's cult film hit the screen and still the charm and the craze about DCH is intact in many ways. Here I have listed 10 things which i like about Dil Chahta Hain :-






  1. Amir Khan with his never-seen-before avatar ( cool spike and cute goatee) depicting a street smart and intense persona- SEXY!



2. Amir Khan with a oh-so-cutely-confused Shefali Khan-turned-Saif Ali Khan - SEXIER!!




3. Amir Khan and Saif Ali with a dreamy-poetic-romantic-headstrong (all in one) Akshay khanna - SEXIEST!!!




4. After seeing DCH- "A roadtrip to Goa with friends" is a must-to-do thing in every DCH-addicted dudes' and babes' bucket list.




5. I am extremely suspicious with this younger-guys-falling-for-older-than-them-girls trend is a strictly post DCH in-thing( OK OK..i know love can happen anywhere,anytime and anyway- but still....). P.S- Sachin Tendulkar is an exception.




6. The process of Aging can be so sexy, graceful and charming- Who realized it before seeing a superbly elegant Dimple Capadia in simple kurti and jeans on-screen?




7. If you eternally confused about -among your potential list of boyfriends and girlfriends , with whom to get hitched-Do one thing: just close your eyes and whose face instantly pops-up into your mind - IT'S HE OR SHE !! ( though i m still doubtful with the effectivity of this formula). It's the most tried -and-tested funda for lacs of lovelorn youth. Amir Khan showed the way!




8. After Sholay, friendship had never been so cherished, so respected and so valued- like it happend in Dil Chahta Hain.




9. The frivolous- yet so meaningful dialogues like one in that iconic climax scene where Akash is sweeping Shalini off her feet with lines like " main sirf tumhare liye bana hu n bla bla bla.." !! to hear something like this from that special someone- i can fall in love again n again.. ( not necessarily with the same guy though).




10. And finally the man-behind-the-scene : If a combination of an Adonis and a Rockstar looking director-namedItalic Farhan khan - would have made a documentary on a subject like which-fertilizer-should -be-used-in-monsoon-to-increase-the-production-of-potatoes , i could have glued to screen even then..

I can add 100 more ...

1. The opera scene. When Preity invited love-hater Aamir into an Opera. Aammir came with ever=smart personality, but looking ate her, his expression changed for couple of seconds.
This is the moment, I think very few saw, is like, he was worshiping a beauty of godess. Charming.
2. The secne when Aamir say's "main abbhi mil sakta hu. Piche dekh...".
3. When Aamir comes back from Australia and was driving to his work. He saw the place in college where they used to hangout. He saw his past, and everyhting changed then and there.
4. When Saifu was proposing. Awkaward but sweet. I think lot of girls fall for him right at that moment.
5. The famous spot at goa. Where you can see the whole sea, fort etc. etc. Jaha dialog bola "hame har sal ek bar goa ana chaye...". Aur aamir bola, "Hum dost the, hain and rehenge". And the song goes -"kysa ajab ye safar hain, socho to har ek hi bekhabar hain...." Nostalgic...
6. The expression when Aamir khan explaining what kind of girl he likes. Prety desperately wants to hear her name... Just Kodak moment. And when Preity explains to him, Aamir is just "Tanhayeeee... Tanhayeeeee...."
7. Akshay Deepa ko "Jindegi is ret ki tarah hain. Tum is ret ko dekh rahe ho... Jitni hi pakadne ka kosis karo utni hi hat se nikalte hain." I know its philosophical. But its true sometimes.
8. The train moment. When train leaves with aamir, helplessness in her eyes, tense situaltion. The mad guy and Perrity's reaction. When Aamir came like a hero, she was such relieved. And her, "I hate you..."
9. And when Rohit in a Dinner said, ke Aamir and Preity kyse mile, kyse usne aamir ko sabak sikhaya etc etc.
Aamir said, "Sach kahu to, Agar Shalini us rat mere sath hoti aur kisine aysi harkat ki hoti to main usse jaan se mar deta - I would have killed him." Shalini just looks at him. Aamir - the man filled with jelousy, pride - superb. I would have say same thing.
10. Finally, this scene is qorth billion dollars.
She was seating in bride's cloth, thinking abotu Aamir. Suddenly she saw he was right there. H ehold her hand, song stopped. He started, "Hi, mujse shaadi karoge? Agar main keheta hu main tumse payar karta hu tabbhi nehi?" Rohit rushes to him, Aamir stops, with just a hand gesture. He goes on, "Main tumse aur sirf tumse payar karta hu...
