before get into the detail and i must admit that this be certainly one of the best and most entertaining film i have ever see . rating represent half out of plot the story be about three very good friend and their relationship with each other . aamir khan play a sociable and mischievous akash and saif ali khan play a confused and often love struck sameer and akshaye khanna play a mature and confident siddharth or sid . preity zinta play shalini akash love interest and though throughout the film akash claim that he do not believe in love . sonali kulkarni play pooja with whom sameer finally ( really ) fall in love and dimple kapadia be tara jaiswal and a divorced middle age alcholic . thats all one need to know about the film because right from the first reel the viewer be absorb into the story and learn about each character . review full credit must go to the director farhan akhtar who have break many of the bollywood production norm in order to make a technically perfect and enjoyable film . it would be unfair to call aamir khan the life of the dch though his popularity in india and abroad would have draw a substantial part of the film audience . he give a brilliant performance as usual a akash . his scene with akshaye khanna and some scene shoot in australia ( opera and phone call to sid and etc ) be mind blowing . saif ali khan be the surprise packet of dil chahta hai and there be a lot of untapped talent in him especially where comedy role be concern . but i felt that the best performance come from akshaye khanna who play the character of sid to perfection . his mannerism and thinking and behaviour be very authentic and make u all identify with his character closely . preity zinta look gorgeous and be her usual chirpy self . sonali kulkarni could have certainly look well without all that makeup . dimple kapadia show how a good role can bring out an elegant performance from a seasoned actress . the best aspect of dil chahta hai other than the actor performance be the music . this be hopefully the start of more non run of the mill composition in bollywood . ofcourse and i hope for a lot more composition like these from the music director shankar eshaan loy . the title song be the best and gel really well with this trndy film . other good song be jaane kyon and kaise hai yeh rut and tanhayee . woh ladki hai kahan a parody of old hindi song be simply hillarious . the lyric provide by the director father and veteran javed akhtar be simply amazing and complement the story of the film to perfection . overall and a very entertaining feature and i hope to see more film like these in the near future . three cheer to farhan akhtar and his team .
