Dil Se

Dil Se 

Dil Se  is an emotional turbulence!  Do yourself a favor: DON’T MISS IT! You can compare this emotional  turbulence ( those things that sweet soul of yours is about to go through) to a nasty mountains train getting from the highest peaks to the bottom of the gallows with no mercy at all!!
Some would say this is the essence of cinema - having a film staying alive in our mind way after the the lights were turned off.

The 1988 awarded film “Dil Se” directed by Mani Ratnam and starring Shahrukh Khan, Manisha Koiralaand and Preity Zinta, was a breakthrough in all terms of Indian cinema. As soon as the film was released to the screens it was obvious that it will create a big impact on the Bollywood film industry, even though it wasn’t considered a success at the box office.

The movie is bold and deals with very sensitive issues of the Indian society and politics. It was the third in Ratnam's trilogy of terrorism films that depict human relationships against a background of Indian politics.

Almost in each cinematographic aspects the film got  awards for. Despite that Indian audience couldn’t translate the high appreciation into high earnings, but overseas – with $975,000 in the USA and £537,930 in the UK – it’s become the first Indian film to enter the top 10 in the United Kingdom box office charts.

Amarkant "Amar" Varma (Shahrukh Khan), an All-India Radio program executive living in Delhi, is dispatched to the troubled North-Eastern region of India to report from there on the situation pertaining to the approaching 50th Anniversary of Indian independence.
There, he interviews a terrorist leader on his group's motivation and ethics. He meets Meghna (Manisha Koirala) at a railway station for a tiny chat talk over a cup of tea. At that point the plot starts to get some wild twists and turns where love, distrust, fear, and passion all come together in the same pot! At this point no-one can trust anyone, although the couple still craves one another. When things start on the wrong foot they always have to get…worse! Many surprises await Amar in his awkward “relationship” with Meghna, constantly putting him at odds with everything he considers safe and familiar. It calumniates in the famous row when he whispers in her ear, "If you won't come with me, take me with you!”
