Dil Chahta Hai Movie Download 1080p Movies

As I reached my teenage I saw the coolest, most popular boy in our batch model his entire personality on that character. That reaffirmed to me that Akash was the most prolific, dynamic character in the film. I was young, naive, and I think I saw the film in those initial years largely as a fun, laughter-ride. Sameer (Saif Ali Khan) was the goofy one, and Siddharth (Akshaye Khanna) the boring, pretentious one. Simple.
Of course, the film set a template for the decade to come, but to celebrate it twenty years later just as a movie that began the culture of friendship-oriented movies, and a more realistic depiction of the privileged and urban lifestyle would be a huge disservice to what Akhtar managed to do with this movie.
Siddharth is the polar opposite of Akash, both depicting masculinity at its rawest. Akash is an arrogant, narcissist man, Siddharth is a passionate, determined, self-assured man. Akash is the Bollywood prototype, the kind of person who is admired by elders, pals and women.
Sid, on the other hand, goes under the radar. His trademark smile is unremarkable, and his humour drier, less obvious than his pals. And yet, Dil Chahta Hai showed both these men (and Sameer, of course) as individuals who were equally flawed and proud of their manliness.
Sameer, the goofiest of the lot, was another prime example of a character deviating from the standard idea of masculinity. He is a confused, shallow, innocent but incredibly gullible person. He is a mess, but with a smile on his face. His famous fumble in the scene where he is proposing to a woman reeks of realism, of a man who has no business being a dynamic charmer like Akash. His charm is his goofiness, his clumsy innocence.
my favorite bollywood movie. Ya its farhan akhtar movie but its amir khan who is the actual star. No one else can play akash the way he did. Its always amir khan movie which r liked by the global audience n he deserves it. Whether its lagaan or mangal pandey or rang de basanti. I hope u have seen these movies. Zindagi na milegi dobara is inspired from dil chahta hai i think, plot is similar.
kathy did u really enjoy lagaan, cos its based on cricket and its hard to enjoy the movie without cricket knowledge specially the climax scene when amir khan hits the last ball for six. Dont get me wrong and dont get angry please. i am just assuming that u dont know cricket cos most americans dont know the game.

I remember when Dil Chahta Hai hit theatres, way back in 2001, I was 14 years old, in the ninth grade, fascinated both by Goa as a BFF-holiday destination and the amazing friendship between the leads, Sameer, Akash and Sid. The film came as a great break from the kitsch movies of the 90s, where fights between friends were unheard of, and if they did have a disagreement, one friend would readily give up on his life rather than break their bond. Here was a story about three friends who were great together, but they also changed as adults, moved away and embraced their differences. I have watched the movie several times in my 20s, in bits and pieces, always laughing, often listening to the songs and planning a road trip to Goa and maintaining that Farhan Akhtar's Dil Chahta Hai sort of changed the portrayal of friendship in Bollywood.
Over the weekend, I, now in my thirties, gave the film another watch and - guess what - the magic seems to be dying a little now. While I will never stop putting the film in my favourite movies while growing up list, I think Akash has now steadily fallen from the fun friend category to a kind of a douchebag, in my head. Played by Aamir Khan, Akash is pretty much a terrible friend. I know it's a movie and, yes, I am overreacting (I mean, I am writing an article about being offended by a movie); the thing is, to finally see my loved character for what he really is, is kind of a big deal. If you are a DCH-loyal too, hear me out on why Akash pretty much sucks as a bestie!
While Akash stayed away from serious relationships, he refused to also believe that his friends were ready to take the plunge. Each time Sameer (Saif Ali Khan) tried to speak to him about his relationships, he would mock him. I agree that we all make fun of the oddballs that our friends date, but Akash was in complete denial, refusing to believe that his friends could be serious about something that he himself had no interest in. His lowest point came when Sid (Akshaye Khanna) fell in love with an older woman and Akash not only refused to take him seriously but also suggested that she would make for a great fuck buddy instead. He totally deserved that slap he got from Sid that night!
For a friend, he was also not the most reliable. He took pleasure in getting his friends in trouble, something that soon turned from being funny to being toxic, but Akash didn't care because ain't nobody got time for that! He also wasn't really around when his friends needed him the most. Post that slap, he simply chooses to move to a new city and cut himself off. No apology, no explanations; even when he himself was feeling low, he never reached out, thanks to his gigantic ego!
Also, look at his life in Sydney - he made absolutely zero friends out there, and that speaks a lot about the kind of friend he was. Not even a single friend! If you think of it, he probably never grew up, the way his friends did. He was a baby back in college, and despite his claims of having fallen in love, and seen the error of his ways, he still remained one. His was the only character that did not mature in this otherwise amazing film.
