When I watched "Dil Se" I felt it was lots of powerful and well directed scenes bundled together , without a coherence thread.

Because it was made ahead of time, just like Guru Dutt's kaagaz ke phool!

Personally I loved the movie, Manisha gave one of the best performances of her career, she acted with great restraint , suiting the role to a t, preity was quite impressive too. It's songs were a rage back then specially " chhaiya chhaiya"

I didn't like SRK and Manisha's pairing but despite that it was still a good movie. The ending was too tragic though :(

But hey Chaiyya Chaiyya is my fav Hindi song :)

Oh it was a good movie... restrained performances, great music.. but it wasn't made for the general audiences.. the look and feel of it was so different, i mean quite arty. story was slow-paced,

more than the movie , i loved Srk's performance..

Dil se wasnt as Good as Roja and Bombay, and Srk's possessive lover's act was repetitive. Manisha and Preity were both good. I wasn't surprised when the movie bombed, at that time i expected something else from the film and it turned out something else.
