Everyone has those friends who will be there with you always no matter what the situation is. This film has a similar situation wherein there are a group of 3 friends who’ve known each other for a very long time and are different from each other but their bond and love for each other makes them great friends and they meet after a long time.
Dil Chahta hai, The film shows perfectly how everyone battles their own demons, let it be being scared of something or being a little different than the others or just getting hurt most of the times by the people who you once loved. This film always shows us the beauty of falling in love, how it can happen without one knowing about or how it changes you. It also shows how friends are sometimes the only people who can knock sense into each other when one is lost and has no idea how to deal with a given situation and also are the ones who stay right there.
It also showed the audience how one should not be afraid of change especially if it leads to better of one’s self and that being afraid of what others think should not define one’s choices, to believe and be confident of one’s own choice and be determined. It doesn’t matter if people don’t actually understand, that the right is right and also how life is unpredictable, one can never know what is going to happen in the very next and all one has is the present and should make the best use of it while it lasts.
This film was something natural and easy for the audience to connect with as most of the viewers at some point of time made decisions that changed their lives and have friends who stayed by their side and helped them always. This film which was directed by Farhan Akhtar was not like most of the films in that era, it was something which didn’t have overly dramatic scenes or action-filled ones, it was simple in most of its run and had a genuine and realistic vibe to it.
All said and done, this movie was something which takes the viewer on a journey of three different people, living their lives, enjoying it while they can, facing their fears and become better people and meeting together in the end and appreciating the bond between them.
