Movie Reviews of Dil Se..
Movie Review: Even after all these years, Dil Se remains one of my favorite Bollywood romances!
Summary: 5 Stars
Recently, I've been on a Bollywood movie binge, revisiting many old favorites, and some recent hits (e.g. Fanaa, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, etc.). I watched Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Dil Se yesterday and it reminded me why I love these Bollywood musicals/dramas so much - they are pure poetry and magic!
"Dil Se" was not a hit when it was first released in India in 1998, though it gained a credible measure of success overseas. It is not just a romance (and a tragic one at that) but also a politically-themed movie, focusing on the troubled North-Eastern region of India, including Assam. Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) plays Amar, an All-India Radio journalist who visits the North-Eastern region in India to interview a terrorist leader about his motivations and aims. At a train station, he encounters a lovely yet troubled young woman, Meghna (Manisha Koirala) - this sets in motion a dangerous love affair, one which profoundly affects Amar and Meghna who is hiding a very dark secret that makes it impossible for her to get too close to anyone.
The themes of tragic love, loyalty to a cause, and terrorism are deftly dealt with in the movie, though admittedly the mix of politics and romance at times gets a bit too much. The main stars are credible in their performances, especially Ms. Koirala's portrayal of the deeply conflicted Meghna. Manisha Koirala may have faded into obscurity but she was once one of the leading ladies in Bollywood and some of her most memorable movies are 1942 A Love Story, Bombay, Akele Hum Akele Tum,Agni Sakshi, and Khamoshi - The Musical. She is known for portraying strong female characters with a mind of their own.
The cinematography in this movie is exquisite, with scenes and songs being shot in locations such as Assam, Kerala, even Bhutan. And the score is amazing! Some of the songs have long since become classics such as "Chaiya Chaiya", "Dil Se Re", "Ajnabi", "Satrangi Re", "Jiya Jale", etc. Now, if only they'd release this title on Blu-Ray!
