Forget coming every year, it’s possible that they might never ever come to this place again. In an iconic scene, Sid tells his friends that they’re like ships. It’s probably the first time that we saw friends on-screen discuss limits and permanence. Also, they didn’t mind putting them in place once they breached the limits of Friendship. They didn’t mind cracking a joke at the expense of their friend’s misfortune.
The friends in his world weren’t ready to die for each other. The characters he etched discarded all the previous cinematic templates. Similar to Dil Chahta Hai – THE REINCARNATION OF INDIAN CINEMAįarhan directing his first film tapped into his personal life. Maybe not like all of them but definitely like some of them. If we look around us, we will realize we have all had friends like these – In school or in college. These guys couldn’t have been more different, while Aakash is a callous hedonist, Sam a confused lover who falls in love with every other girl, and Sid – The artist and the Philosopher. Three Friends Aakash, Sameer, and Sid – each character with his own idiosyncrasy yet bonded by some invisible thread. An India of rich urban Metrosexual Youths with their very own definition of Love, Life, and Friendship. As ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ reaches Adulthood today, we look back at a film that transported us to an India which was unknown to our cinematic universe. 24th July 2001 was the day Indian Cinema woke up to a new era, the Multiplex Era.
