Synopsis
Maine Dil Tujhko Diya is the story of romance between a simple, down-to-earth guy Ajay (Sohail Khan) and a beautiful,
vulnerable girl Ayesha (Sameera Reddy).
Ayesha is the elder daughter of a rich business tycoon Mr. Verma (Kabir Bedi), an overprotective father who has kept his two daughters
away from the influences of modern world.
Ayesha goes to study in college for her graduation and comes in contact with Ajay who is the leader of a group called Aryans,
responsible for handling the security in college. Ajay’s soft-spoken nature and his humble, down-to-earth attitude soon makes Ayesha
his ardent admirer. Ajay also helps Ayesha find her identity besides being just her father’s daughter.
Ajay and Ayesha’s friendship becomes an eyesore for Mr. Chopra (Dilip Tahil), business partner of Ayesha’s father. Chopra is a cunning
man who harbors the dream of lapping all of Verma’s fortunes by marrying his son to Ayesha.
Chopra begins belittling Ajay in Verma’s eyes. He also hires the Mumbai’s don Bhaijaan (Sanjay Dutt) to get rid of Ajay.
Luckily Ajay escapes Bhaijaan’s clutches as it is the month of Ramazaan, and Bhaijaan, being a religious man, wont hurt a soul in this
pious month.
Still, Chopra succeeds in his nefarious plans and gets Ajay beaten and thrown out of the city. In turn Ajay vows that he will marry
Ayesha within 24 hours.
What happens next? Will Ajay overcome all the hurdles to win Ayesha’s hand? Will Bhaijaan have a change of heart and help Ajay
prove his worth to Ayesha’s adamant father?
Review
Written and directed by Sohail Khan, Maine Dil Tujhko Diya has the technical finesse and an overdose of stylishly pictured
action sequences featuring Sohail. Yet the film ends up as a low-key fare due to the absence of an interesting storyline.
Based on the oft-repeated story of two lovers rebelling against the parental opposition, the film is a mish mash of several Bollywood
hits. The script is riddled with mushy dialogues that completely lose their significance due to repeated use.
Maine Dil Tujhko Diya merely drags in the first half, which is full of puerile romantic sequences showing Sohail as the
‘protector’ of Sameera from the bad guys. The narrative gathers pace post interval with the entry of Sanjay Dutt in a negative role.
The second half particularly boasts of catchy sequences like the battle of brawns between Sohail and Rajpal Yadav.
Sohail, who makes his acting debut with the film, is seen flaunting his beefcake physique throughout the film rather than bringing an
emotive sensitivity to his role. He sure doesn’t have much of a career as an actor.
Debutante Sameera Reddy just about manages to play the subjugated daughter of an overprotective father. Her facial expressions are
bland and her diction needs much sprucing.
Still, Maine Dil Tujhko Diya is worth a watch chiefly because of its glossy look and the presence of fresh faces. To boot is
Sanjay Dutt’s riveting portrayal of underworld gangster Bhaijaan, a performance that stands out among the pallid performances
by the leading starcast.
