He tries to court her, believing that Tia feels something for him too. There, he meets Tia ( Aishwarya Rai), a teacher, and develops feelings for her.
One day, he accompanies his friend, Anita ( Isha Koppikar) to a school for the deaf, which he is sponsoring. On the whole, DIL KA RISHTA stands on a weak foundation a predictable script which will tell on its business in days to come.Jai ( Arjun Rampal) is a wealthy young man who supports many charities. Paresh Rawal doesn't have a role of substance, yet does his bit well. He contributes enormously in making the first half lively. Aishwarya Rai looks bewitching (like always!) and scores as an actress. Naeem Shah's dialogues are just about okay.Īrjun Rampal does a sincere job. Viju Shah's background music is appropriate. Ashok Mehta's cinematography is, like always, flawless. Barring the title track and 'Saajan Saajan', two decent tracks, the remaining numbers are plain average. Nadeem-Shravan's music is easy on the ears, but it lacks a hit score � so vital for a love story.
The film drags in the second half and needs to be trimmed by at least 15 minutes for a better impact. However, as an editor, Malhotra's work is faulty. He shows a flair for light scenes, which is evident in the first half. Yet, it must be said to the director's credit that he has handled a couple of sequences with aplomb. Naresh Malhotra's direction is bogged own by a half-baked script. While the first half has its share of enjoyable and entertaining moments, surprisingly, the second half is devoid of it. The writers should've thought of a better way to culminate the story. For the heroine to forgive her husband's murderer so easily and agree to marry the same murderer instantly looks ridiculous. Even the songs in this half crop up without valid situations.Įven the climax is weak. The story moves at a snail's pace here.ī) The writers (Vrinda Rai and Shabbir Boxwala) have relied too heavily on the tried and tested stuff to move the story ahead.Ĭ) The drama is actually missing in this half. The second half does not impress mainly because �Ī) The pace of the film drops considerably. The accident at the interval point raises the expectations of a better second half, but alas! The graph of the film slides down in the post-interval portions. The birthday sequence, for instance, is an example of good writing and deft execution. The sequences between Aishwarya Rai and Priyanshu are well penned, evoking the right emotions. The love triangle is established in the initial reels itself. The first half is actually the best part of the enterprise � To start with, the film has everything going for it � a fresh cast, top-notch technicians, pleasing visuals, but it suffers in that one department that is the lifeline of any film � the script. But now Jai does not reciprocate, although he loves her silently and intensely.ĭIL KA RISHTA can be best described as a simple story, with some likeable moments, which eventually bows down to the dictates of commercial cinema and loses the impact in the process. Jai now sees the love, affection and adoration in Tia's eyes. The woman of his dreams is the breath-takingly beautiful Tia. Jai has everything � dashing looks, a winsome personality, a heart of gold.
Gulzar's KINARA and Anubhav Sinha's TUM BIN also tackled a similar theme. Ltd.'s DIL KA RISHTA, edited-directed by Naresh Malhotra, is inspired by the English flick MAGNIFICENT OBSESSION, which was made twice in Hollywood � in 1935 and subsequently in 1954.
