Haal-e-Dil is ditto copy of DDLJ


http://www.indien-netzwerk.de/navigation/unterhaltung/artikel/artikel-grafiken/blitz_okt03/ddlj.jpg

After directing Raju Chacha and Blackmail, Anil Devgan is returning with ‘Haal-e-Dil’, starring newcomers Nakul Mehta, Amita Pathak and Adhyayan Suman and produced by Kumar Mangat Pathak.

A source says, “For his third, Anil Devgan wanted to choose a story that was universally accepted as he didn’t want to go wrong this time. What better than ‘Dilwale Dulhaniya La Jain ga’ (DDLJ) a timeless love story that has been running successfully for the last ten years?

Like DDLJ, Anil’s ‘Haal-e-Dil’ is about two strangers, Shekhar and Sanjana (a young boy and girl played by Nakul and Amita) living in London, going on a holiday but missing the train, embarking together on a journey in Europe and finally falling in love. While Sanjana confides in her mom about her dilemma Shekhar goes to the girl’s village in Punjab to woo her and her family.”

Pointing out more similarities, the source adds, “Like Raj (Shahrukh) does in DDLJ, Shekhar woos and wins over her family but there’s a twist in the tale when Rohit (Adhyayan) comes into it. Sanjana’s marriage is fixed to Rohit. Amita has a Kajol fixation and is dressed like her in the film.

There’s even a song between Shekhar and Sanjana amongst the sarson ka khet in Punjab and a song similar to Zara sa jhoom loon shot in Switzerland! Shekhar is seen strumming a guitar like SRK played the banjo while Sanjana is a simple girl with spectacles who loves reading books a la Kajol.”

However producer Kumar Mangat denies that his film is anything like DDLJ, “Haal-e-Dil is not a remake. It’s a love story with similar situations like DDLJ where the hero and heroine meet on a train and fall in love and the hero goes to the village to woo her family. It’s just coincidences. The universal theme of love and boy meeting girl on train is common for 5 out of 10 films.” Has he seen DDLJ? “Yes I have seen it at least 20 times. It’s a masterpiece and is going on even now. It’s the ultimate in romance and a perfect love story.”

Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini

Bollywood Actress Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini In Dil Bole Hadippa Believe it or not, but the whole ‘bikini top ‘n’ skimpy shorts’ avatar in short — flaunting Rani Mukerji’s hot new bod wasn’t her idea. Not even the producer or director had anything to do with it. After she realised how much she had toned up (to play a male cricketer in Dil Bole Hadippa!), Rani just happened to discuss this idea with her designer friend Manish Malhotra. And from there on it was Manish’s game plan, after all, he’s transformed many a Bollywood girl in to glam queens. He suggested that it would be a pity to waste such a well-toned body by not showing it off. That’s how the idea of a special song was born. And is she looking hot? Talk about her ‘shapely’ success, and Rani says, “Believe me, I didn’t starve at all. I love my food, especially rice and sweets. There was no way I was giving up all that. So, I just worked out harder and was occasionally allowed my ‘cheat’ meals of rice, sweets, etc. ...

Shahid Kapoor: I'm waiting for someone special

Bollywood’s man with lightening in his feet, Shahid Kapoor seems pretty chilled out and unfazed by controversies in real life. In town to shoot for an untitled film opposite Anushka Sharma, Shahid seems very comfortable in his skin. While he’s reluctant to discuss about his private life or his rumoured amours with Priyanka Chopra, Vidya Balan and Sania Mirza, the teen heartthrob says he’s “learnt to take all the rumours with a pinch of salt” and claims he’s just a “regular” young guy after pack-up. Excerpts from an exclusive interview: Kaminey and Dil Bole Hadippa... are set to hit the screens. Yeah. Their release dates are pretty close to each other. Kaminey will hit the screens this month, while Dil Bole Hadippa is slated for a September release. Both are very different films and I’m excited as well as a little nervous. The levels of expectations increase after your previous films have done well at the BO. Jab We Met was a turning point in my career. After Vivaah, I sat home for six ...

Aamir Khan: I love Sachin Tendulkar's intensity

What is amazing about Sachin Tendulkar is that for 20 years he has been able to maintain a level. There has been no dip in his abilities, his application or his passion for the game. I would say very few people could last this long. I've played cricket and believe me, you can't get out of bed for one week after one gruelling match. I saw him for the first time in 1988 when I was shooting at the Brabourne Stadium and he wasn't playing for the Indian team yet. The team was practising at the nets and I was chatting with Kapil Dev, Dilip Vengsarkar and a few others. At a distance I could see this kid batting. I was surprised to see that he was middling the ball; he looked so small, and so young. I was zapped. I wondered who this little boy was, who was being allowed to practise at the nets with the Indian cricket team. So I asked Kapil and Vengsarkar, “Who's he? How come I don't know?” They told me he was a new guy called Sachin Tendulkar, who was being seriously consi...
