(translates as "my heart is yours")
2002
3/5 stars
Shalu (Preity Zinta) is devoted to her sister, Nimmi (Mahima Chaudhry), but has a difficult relationship with her mother, Sarita (played by Rekha), who never seems to show her any affection. Shalu meets Dev (Arjun Rampal) and, after a few misadventures, they fall in love. Nimmi misinterprets Dev, thinking that he is in love with her, not Shalu. Based on that, Sarita arranges for Dev and Nimmi to marry. Shalu, wanting only her sister's happiness and desperate to win favor from her mother, stands aside and asks Dev to forget her.
(Jimmy Sheirgill and Alok Nath also star.)
The movie is light, predictable, and forgettable, being obviously nothing more than a vehicle to show Zinta's extremely convincing acting and her usual delightful, bubbly self. Chaudhry conveys her emotions well and mostly holds her own with Zinta. The striking Rekha is especially impressive, while Nath gives his signature benign performance. Neither Rampal or Sheirgill are strong enough to balance Zinta, however, and they come across as weak and unconvincing. The music is good, though, with "Dil Laga Liya Maine" being particularly memorable. Unfortunately, good music and the excellent Zinta aren't enough to make this more than average due to the bland, sometimes ridiculous, plot.
Note: SCARY PUPPET ALERT!
