The next day Pooja gets a surprise visitor – Ajay, her lazy childhood friend! Of course, Pooja gets a wrong phone call just before midnight, thus solidifying her mystic and God-ordained future love. If you’ve been watching this movie, you’d know that with the amount of signs Rahul and Pooja are getting Sir Jesus God is not gonna give you a chance. Rahul is giving the Mother of all eye-rolls to VDay. And it’s not even regular VDay, it’s super magical VDAy that falls on the full moon and ensures that the meeting of two soulmates will take place before midnight. One of these instances involves fitting rooms.Īgain, to make sure, the dum-dums (aka the audience) really GETS the epicness of Rahul/Pooja’s destined love, they even almost kinda meet on Valentine’s Day. Just to drive home the point that Pooja and Rahul are meant to be, they ALMOST meet three times before they ACTUALLY meet. Of course, all his daydreaming is intercut with Pooja dancing around like a loony, to make sure we UNDERSTAND that “Maya = Pooja”. Cause Ajay is too damn lazy to pick up a pen and write a letter.Įlsewhere, Rahul is still daydreaming about Maya, while Nisha, his dancer friend is not impressed. Oh, and she gets cassette tapes from Ajay, the son of her benefactors. She’s an orphan, who lives with her parents’ friends. We find out that our “Maya” is actually called Pooja. Your white salwar kameez WILL get grass stains. Rahul’s specific description of Maya is intercut with footage of Madhuri Dixit running around in a very unflattering salwar kameez. A nice, sweet girl (the Sati Savitri type), who lives in her dreams and dances only for herself. He is Rahul (naam to suna hoga…at least from another half a dozen SRK films), a choreographer cum actor cum dancer cum director. And he’s got a new idea for a play. She believes in soulmates, chocolate hearts and eternal love. Not to confuse the gullible audience, our movie starts with the mission statements of the leads.

I tried recapping Bodyguard (yeah, that didn’t happen), but dil to pagal hai, dil deewana hai….and I decided to stick with SRK romance. The movie so full of fluff and candy floss that it practically screams “recap me on Valentine’s Day”.

One of the quintessential Yash Chopra romances. Dil To Pagal Hai…The alternate version of KKHH.
