Haal-e-Dil is ditto copy of DDLJ

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.”

Vivek Oberoi: I am a Tamilian

  Vivek Oberoi:-  I am a Tamilian Vivek Oberoi has said he has great affinity for Tamil Nadu Movies and that he makes sure that he visits his grand-parents in Chennai regularly. Vivek Oberoi in an interview to Tamil media earlier had said ‘Naanum Thamizhkarandhan’ (means ‘ I am also a Tamilian ’). Vivek Oberoi earned the good will of Tamil Nadu people when he adopted a Tamil Nadu village devastated by the killer Tsunami in 2004. Vivek’s next two big films have a solid Tamil connection. The immediate ‘ Prince ’ is being dubbed and released in Tamil on April 9. The following ‘ Raktha Charithra ’ by Ram Gopal Varma in which Suriya is also playing an important role is a multi lingual and that too will be released as a direct Tamil version. The most highlighting factor about these films is that Vivek Oberoi will speak Tamil himself for the dubbing. When Suriya and Vikram are learning Hindi for their Bollywood debuts, Vivek Oberoi comes to Kollywood already knowing Tamil. For More

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.

This film is directed by David Dhawan and John Abraham playes a cricketer who resides in the chawl.
