Let us make this movie review more interesting by introducing MaiTheory(TM)(C). So what is this MaiTheory? MyArtisticIntellect(MAI) Theory. Sit back and enjoy this review which should turn out to be better than movie itself. :) Arrogance!


Dil Diya Hai (*)


Released: 8th Sep 06


Genre: Love story with a twist >:(


Language: Hindi (with occasional use of English)


Approx Running Time: 2 hours 10 mins


Director: Aditya Datt


Starring: Mithun Chakravarty, Kitu Gidwani, Imran Hashmi, Asmit Patel, the new girl (don't bother about the name)


( Exceptional, Brilliant, Good, Average, * Avoidable)


Everyone's patience was tested as the 16 reels of immature cinemadoled out in rather distasteful fashion.


Unfortunately, I am not popular enough to be bought by the production houses. This means I cannot really recommend this movie and surely not call it average -- it is below averageto say the least. There will be multitude of people who would swear by the direction, novelty of ideas, twists in the tale, grey shades of characters, and what not. They are either being paid or are simply writing their reviews half-heartedly.


Geeta Basra looks not-made-for-camera from the word go! Oops, I gave out the new girl's name. In the same tone as Nasseruddin Shah says (in the movie Bombay Boys), I blazon outwith utmost faith in God that his movie (is) "Definitely (a) Flop".


In short:If the weekdays have tired you and your feet, put on the geyser and take out some luke warm water in a shallow tub. You know what to do next; and if you don't, I think you should go watch this movie - this has been made for you.


Plot:


Poor Imran Hashmi and his poorer friend run a strange kind of travel agency in London. MaiTheorysays that since poor Imran's mother is ill, he has the right to con his clients for those 200 pounds extra so that he can one day save 40,000 (yes, forty thousand) pounds for his mother's operation. MaiTheorywonders why almost all hero's mother have to undergo surgery.


Next, the heroine along with her family comes on a trip to London. In four days and three nights, she falls in love with our hero. Hero sells heroine to the villain for money and a few scenes later we are lead to villain's den where the hero must save heroine with the help of an aging old man. Now, villain is in love with the heroine and is not ready to give her up for anything. The battle of good and bad begins and ends pretty soon.


MaiTheorywill rip it apart:


How selfish can you get! Our hero(?) sells a girl who shows signs of loving him. He could have sold off his business, he could have sold off his car, he could have done so many other things with script permitting but no, he had to sell the girl for getting treatment for his mother. What a great son!


How unethical can you get ! A tour operator breaks into his client's room while she is fast asleep (ironically, dreaming about him) and kidnaps her. It doesn't end there. He sells her off for the money to save his mother's life.



Selfish, unethical herois complimented well by a heroine lacking self-respect and dignity.She has such low self-esteem that she not only forgives a man who sold her for money but also continues nurture love for him. She rejects the proposal of her buyer (who, in all fairness, was a better man) to marry her probably because he bought her and cannot be forgiven. MaiTheoryobserves that all multiplexes display "Buying ticket in black is a crime" and no one talks of selling. Aditya missed the humor and took it too seriously and used his sense of humor in the movie too. :)


If I were in the girl's shoes, I would have either tried to kill the buyer and escape so that I could kill the seller too. If I was forced to choose between the two men to marry, I would have had no second thoughts before choosing the buyer who atleast found me desirable enough to kill so many people just to have me with him. It wasn't me!


We have seen funny villains in the past too but there are all by script's design. In DDH, villain comes across as idiotic, stupid, egoistic and funny by his own device. There are moments of hatred generated by his character but overall, Asmit Patel has done just about average work in terms of acting.


Well, MaiTheory has discovered the main culprit. It is characterizationwhich is more or less farfetched and dilute whatever impact the twists and situtations create. A girl cannot have such abysmally low self-esteem if she has been shown as a modern, independent and high-headed woman who won't listen to anyone's advice. Disappointing! The girl is plain stupid, boy is stupid and selfish, villain is stupid and arrogant, Mithun's character is stupid and a sinner-turned-saint.



Dialoguesare trashy too. You wouldn't believe me if I told you that all serious scenes made the audience laugh whole-heartedly - partly due to acting and partly because of poor dialogues. The relief comes in form of Kitu Gidwani's character who gets to speak just five sentences.


There is absolutely no attention to details. A few scenes and their probable explanation by MaiTheory.




  1. The heroine is kidnapped while she is fast asleep. She gets up after the cloroform loses its effect. She leaves her footwear on the floor and runs for help in her sleep bottoms and sleevless top. How did she manage to get her footwear with her in her sleep?


    MaiTheory explains: Imran must have stolen her footwear after drowsing her with cloroform. Once at the villains den, he realized that the footwear were a bt too large for him and so he left it near the spot where unconscious heroine was lying.




  2. Imran (Emran Hashmi) has a fight with some goons sent by Asmit (Ashmit Patel). He gets physically hurt during the fight but he is unscratched in next scene. Yet again, in the song following the scene, he has wound between his right cheek and temple.


    MaiTheory explains: The following scene was shot before the fight scene and hence, the extent of physical damage to the hero was not known. Songs were shot the last and hence, the make-up artiste was given some trouble.

Poor show

Good idea gone awry. That's the apt way to describe Dil Diya Hain.The problem with DDH clearly lies in its scripting. Despite impressive names on and off screen, the film has precious little to impress an avid cinegoer.


Sahil (Hashmi) is a travel agent, who plans the London trip of an Indian family. The bimbette daughter Neha (Geeta Basra) is prone to stupid behaviour, and between one thing and another, she is left behind as her family goes to Scotland.


Sahil is forced to drive her there. On the way, she falls ill, is looked after by a strange Indian couple in the wilderness ? Ronny (Mithun Chakraborty) and his wife (Kitu Gidwani).blah blah


Loosely inspired by Korean film Bad Guy DDH has its share of moment thrills, chills. Unfortunately the drawback lies in the fact that the narrative focuses on the tried-and-tested stuff that has been witnessed umpteen times in bollywoods earlier films.


Though the story is indeed different excecution is archiac and outdated.


Director Aditya Dutt does succeed in keeping the audience interest alive, in parts though. The sequence before the interval and soon after the interval keeps you on the edge.


But the screenplay is mediocre, with the writer leaving several questions unanswered till the end. Like –




  • How does Ashmit fall in love with Geeta?




  • Who is Mithun?How is he that powerful?






Why does Ashmit kill his father Ranjeet?


Another area where the film suffers is its music [Himesh]. Barring 'Afsana' , which is the best number of the film, and to an extent 'yaad', the remaining tracks are strictly average.


The background score is effective.Cinematography is appropriate. Editing is loose. The film needs to be trimmed by at least five minutes minutes for a stronger impact.


Ashmit Patel is ordinary, although he tends to get loud and theatrical at times. Geeta Barsa gets some scope to perform towards the finale. Mithun is alright. Emraan is fair.


On the whole,Dil Diya Hain disappoints. With no hype or hoopla surrounding the film, it will face an uphill task at the box-office.

Dil Diya Hain review
Sep 08, 2006 11:11 PM 2837 Views

Aaditya Dutt returns to the fore after his directional venture AASHIQ BANAYA AAPNE turned out to be a damp squid at the boxoffice. The film has an interesting cast with some accomplished names to new ones. The movie looked like a different film from the trailors and showed some promise....but sadly Dutt again disappoints.


Dil Diya Hain tells the stor of Saahil [Emraan Hashmi] who provides travel and sight seeing services to the tourists in UK. First and foremost his mother IS seriously unwell for quite some time and IShospitalized.


Neha [Geeta Basra] comes with her family to visit U.K. but is caught by her. A vivacious girl, Neha believes in enjoying life to the fullest and also starts falling in love with Saahil.


Destiny brings the two further closes as circumstances force them to spend some more time with each other. While Saahil still tries to maintain a distance from her, for Neha it is no looking back as she gives her heart away to him.


Little did she know that this love for her would throw her in a whirlpool of deceit and mistrust!


DDH takes off quite smoothly, but the romance between the lead pair comes up all of a sudden. Also the reason why Ashmit falls in love with Geeta is not convincing.


As a director Dutt again fails to leave a mark.Aaditya has the guts to attempt a novel theme, but relies too heavily on the stereotype when it comes to moving the story ahead. While he has handled the earlier scenes with aplomb when it comes to the second half he falls flat. One wishes he had put a LOT more time into the ending to make it more convincing.


Tremendous scope has been offered to Emraan to display histrionics and he does full justice to his character. Geeta plays the character quite well. Ashmit evokes instant hatred with his extremely effective performance.


Technically the film is FANTASTIC. The camerawork is glossy . The action sequences are also well canned as. One would've expected a lot more exciting stuff in the climax though.


Music by Himesh too is average. The film lacks a chart busting number. The title track is the best of the lot and has a foot tapping feel. One wishes the picturisation was better and more memorable


DIl Diya Hain is too ordinary a fare.
