(translates as "the heart wants")
2001
5/5 stars
Akash (Aamir Khan), Sid (Akshaye Khanna), and Sameer (Saif Ali Khan), just graduated from college, are the closest of friends. Sameer falls in and out of love regularly, while Sid is too involved in his painting to be interested in women. Akash, a cynic, doesn't believe that love truly exists. This coming of age drama follows their first tastes of real love, a devastating break in their friendship, and their eventual maturing.
The film also stars Dimple Kapadia, Priety Zinta, and Sonali Kulkarni.
This was a most impressive movie. The three male leads were believable and natural as they gave award winning performances. Zinta, and veteran actress Kapadia were also particularly good in their roles. The soundtrack was uniformly enjoyable. The plot is funny, moving, and engrossing, enhanced by excellent cinematography. It is obvious that the screenplay writer/director, Farhan Akhtar (27 at the time), is talented and able to bring out the best in his cast. It's easy to see why this film has become a cult classic.
