Second, who would want to watch such a film?Īstrology | Auctions | Auto | Contests | Destinations | E-cards | Food | Health | Home & Decor | Jobs/Intl.Jobs | Lifestyle | Matrimonial It is disappointing to see young directors like Sohail Khan or Kunal Kohli ( Mujhse Dosti Karoge) resort to age-old formulae instead of breaking new ground and dabbling with new, imaginative ideas. He proves an unnecessary twist in this story. Sanjay Dutt is simply wasted in Maine Dil Tujhko Diya. Also, Reddy and Khan have zero onscreen chemistry. She shows potential, though Maine Dil Tujhko Diya does not qualify as the ideal launch. The college scenario, canteens, eve-teasing, cliched college rivalry, are the focal points of Maine Dil Tujhko Diya.ĭebutante Sameera Reddy has a charming screen presence. The director in Khan borrows generously from his earlier Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya. This film is a case of juggling too many things at the same time. One cannot help but compare him to elder brother Salman Khan - the walk, talk, smile, gestures, are all the same. He fails on both counts - direction and acting. Kabir Lal's ( Pardes, Taal, Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai) splendid cinematography stands out in this otherwise shabby flick.įilmmaker Sohail Khan debuts as an actor with this film. Composer Daboo Malik's Thoda sa pyar hua hai and Maine dil tujhko diya are melodious. Since there is nothing worthwhile happening contentwise, one resorts to other factors like music, location and choreography (Raju Khan, Farah Khan, Ganesh Hegde).
Also, trite lines like Pyaar apna raasta khud dhoond leta hai (Love will find its own way), and Main ek sachcha aashiq hoon (I am a true lover) make you cringe. The excruciatingly lengthy and tedious climax is infused with mindless nonstop violence - editor Yusuf Khan seems to have an agenda of his own here. The outcome is a gory bloodbath between good and evil. Chopra brainwashes Verma against Ajay and appoints the dangerous hit man Bhaijaan (Sanjay Dutt) and Co (Rajpal Yadav, Sarfaraz Khan) to badger Ajay. Taking advantage, Verma's associate Chopra (Dalip Tahil) suggests his own son as a suitable guy for Ayesha. Speaking of the rugby match, check out Ajay's aerial somersaults, a la Neo of The Matrix, and Ayesha's Trinity (also of The Matrix) act. Ayesha's doe eyes and unassuming disposition immediately finds favour with Ajay and his band of brothers.įor Ajay and Ayesha, a romantic duet at a college function which extends to a dream rendezvous in exotic Egypt and a rugby match in Goa are enough to swear by each other. Here, Ayesha (Sameera Reddy), the shy and stunning daughter of business tycoon Verma ( Kabir Bedi), is introduced to college heroes The Aryans, led by stud Ajay (Sohail Khan). Maine Dil Tujhko Diya is about overgrown college kids who pretend to study at the City College. You can be forgiven for mistaking the actors in Maine Dil Tujhko DiyaĬontrived is the word that best describes Maine Dil Tujhko Diya.Ī poor orphan, a rich daddy's girl, villains, hired goons, tons of action and music all bundled together makes for this Friday's fare. : Movies: The Rediff Review: Maine Dil Tujhko Diya
