Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin (transl. The heart is such, it disagrees) is a 1991 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy film produced by Gulshan Kumar and directed by Mahesh Bhatt. The film starred Bhatt's daughter Pooja Bhatt in her first major lead female role, with Aamir Khan starring as her love interest. Supporting roles were played by Anupam Kher, Sameer Chitre, and Tiku Talsania, while Deepak Tijori made a special appearance.
Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin plot was inspired from the 1934 Hollywood film It Happened One Night starring Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert.[2][3] In turn, Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin was remade in Tamil as Kadhal Rojavae (2000). The Kannada film Hudugaata (2007) was also inspired by the same American film.
Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin emerged as a box office success and boosted the career of newcomer Pooja Bhatt, while cementing Aamir Khan's status as a leading movie star.[4] The film's soundtrack, with music by Nadeem–Shravan, was also praised.[5]
At the 37th Filmfare Awards, Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin received 6 nominations, including Best Film, Best Director (Mahesh Bhatt) and Best Actor (Khan), and won Best Female Playback Singer (Anuradha Paudwal for "Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin")
Plot
[edit]Pooja Dharamchand is the daughter of a rich Bombay shipping tycoon, Seth Dharamchand. She is head-over-heels in love with movie star Deepak Kumar, but her father strongly disapproves of their courtship. One night, Pooja escapes from her father's yacht and hops onto a bus to Bangalore to be with Deepak, who is shooting for a film there. Seth Dharamchand, realizing his daughter has run away, advertises a reward for anyone who can find Pooja.
Aboard the bus, Pooja meets Raghu Jaitley, a loud-mouthed journalist who has just lost his job. He offers to help her in exchange for an exclusive story on her, which would revive his flagging career. Pooja is forced to agree to his demands, as he threatens to let her father know of her whereabouts should she not comply. After both of them happen to miss the bus, Raghu and Pooja go through various adventures together and find themselves falling in love with one another.
Raghu desires to marry Pooja, but knows that financially he is in no shape to do so. He leaves Pooja temporarily intending to ask his boss for money so that he can ask her to marry him. Pooja also falls for Raghu and she decides to be with him, but she misses his note and thinks he has abandoned her.
She calls it quits, returns home, and prepares to marry Deepak. Her father learns about Raghu when Raghu comes to him asking for the money he spent on Pooja trying to get her to Bangalore. Seth Dharamchand realizes that Raghu took care of Pooja during the trip and asks Raghu if he is in love with her. Raghu admits he is. Pooja is initially angry thinking that Raghu came forward to claim the reward money. However, her father reveals the true purpose of Raghu's visit and tells her that Raghu loves her. Pooja runs away from the marriage hall with her father's support to reunite with Raghu.
