Watched "Dil to pagal hai" (again)
Long time ago when I was just growing up (and obviously a SRK fan) I had watched this movie. I had not had such understanding about movie that I do have now. I liked it then. Today I understand it. And, I made few discoveries today.
Madhuri Dixit is very beautiful! She has this beautiful, dreamy eyes and that unique, magical and mesmerizing voice. And top of it with such awesome acting talent. I hate to admit but at time she even surpassed SRK in acting in this movie. Take a bow ma'm, you're the best!
This is a three hour long movie. Though there are lots of side characters but the movie is totally based on three people. SRK, Madhuri and Karishma. I would even go one more step and remove Karishma from the equation. She was there but whenever Madhuri was on screen everything became oblivious. She did not even acted well or I may I say her acting was not realistic. Too sophisticated and held back. The movie is totally dependent on SRK and Madhuri. Their chemistry is superb. When you see them as couple, it does not feel odd or impossible that this relationship might not be possible.
At that era Yashraj production took responsibility to define and explore love and various flavours of it. They did movies on most of its flavours. Now the batton seems to be passed to Imtiaz Ali and he's doing a very beautiful job.
And in our college fest my the then crush had danced on the "Le gayi le gayi" song...........
