Oh boy, Dil To Pagal Hai! The movie that has got everyone dancing to its tunes and humming its songs for years now. It's a classic Bollywood rom-com that's so cheesy, it's almost a dairy product.

But hey, let's not be too harsh on it. The film has its moments, and it's not just because of Shah Rukh Khan's dimples. The dance numbers are so infectious that you'll find yourself gyrating your hips to "Bholi Si Surat" and "Le Gayi" even if you're a couch potato.

But let's talk about the story. It's basically a love triangle between Nisha, Rahul, and Pooja. And yes, it's not the most original plotline out there. It's been done to death in Bollywood, but hey, who needs originality when you have Shah Rukh Khan and his charming smile?

It's perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon. Just don't take it too seriously, and you'll have a blast. And if you're a Shah Rukh Khan fan, you'll probably love it even more.


What do you guys think of this cheesy movie?

the songs are so beautiful

arre re, bholi si surat, dtph, dholna, le gayi

and everyone was so adorable in the movie

karishma looked stunning, and was at her peak

but the srk and madhuri chemistry sold the movie

aur pass scene still gets mileage in the shows.

I love DTPH for its visual appeal.❤️ It's still such a fresh looking film and the songs are lovely👏


Another thing I love about this film is its BGM. I just love the BGM in every scene of this film.


SRK and Madhuri's chemistry was good, and Madhuri looked like a dream as Pooja. I also liked Akshay Kumar's character. I wish he was a real person. I would've married him right away.😆

But Lolo (Nisha) is the best thing about this film. Her character kind of goes through all 5 stages of grief (Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance), because of her one-sided love.

I love her character's arc.😳


I hate how pseudo-intellectuals of today obsess over finding flaws and logic in these kind of films from the 90s. 90s had many problematic films, but DTPH isn't one of them.

It's among my favorite comfort-watch movies.
