Synopsis
‘Dil Hai Tumhara’ has evergreen Rekha playing Saritji, a widowed mother of two feisty young girls Shilu (Preity Zinta) and Nimmu (Mahima
Chaudhary). Shilu is Saritji’s stepdaughter and therefore always feels a little neglected than Nimmu, Saritji’s real daughter.
Although a tomboyish teenybopper on the surface Shilu is deep inside very strongly attached to her stepmother. But Saritji does not
reciprocate Shilu’s emotions with equal intensity.
Shilu finds friendship and affection in Samir (Jimmy Shergill), a smalltime ventriloquist who seems to understand her better than
anyone else does.
The two sister’s lives are turned topsy-turvy with the entry of a rich and handsome businessman Dev (Arjun Rampal). Both Shilu and
Nimmu are drawn towards him. While Nimmu is sure about her sentiments for Dev, Shilu feels torn between the two men in her life.
That is when an unexpected event takes place and puts Shilu close to the person she loves the most – her mother!
Review
Directed by Kundan Shah, Dil Hai Tumhara is a simple and touching story that explores the subtle nuances of human relationships
on various levels.
It shows the intricacies of relationship between a mother and her two daughters. It also goes into the lives of two stepsisters and
shows jealousy, envy and love that animates the ties between two.
Light and hilarious moments dominate the first half of the film. The narrative picks up the pace towards the interval time as the
story gets more emotive and melodramatic. Kundan Shah builds up the momentum gradually and takes the story to its logical conclusion
with a climax that is likely to reduce viewers to tears.
Dil Hai Tumhara boasts of mature performances from its cast ensemble.
Preity Zinta plays the tomboyish and vivacious girl with panache. What’s particularly impressive about her is the quicksilver delicacy
with which she switches from one facial expression to another.
Same goes for Mahima Chowdhari whose emotive range seems to have shot up by several notches in the presence of talented performers
like Rekha.
Despite her age Rekha looks scintillating throughout the film and delivers a meticulous performance with the ease of a veteran.
Both Arjun Rampal and Jimmy Shergill too play their part convincingly.
In a nutshell, Dil Hai Tumhara is a moving drama that is void of typical Bollywood mush.
