If Dil Toh Pagal Hai Was Made In Bollywood Today, This Is What It Would Look Like

As Dil To Pagal Hai completes 20 years, here’s a trip down memory lane for all of you who haven’t watched the movie and don’t know how big it was back then! We’ll tell you the story but we’ve think that if it was remade today, Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and Deepika Padukone would be the best fit for the main cast. And no surprises for guessing that Akshay Kumar’s character needs to be played by the one and only, the man who never gets the girl, Jimmy Shergill. Now relive the story with the new cast.

Rahul (SRK, a play director and drummer) works with his best friend Nisha (Karisma Kapoor) who is a dancer and actress in all his plays. They have a fun chirpy crew that works in great coordination.

Rahul’s next play is Maya, in which he wants to cast a female lead that has to play the role of a dancing diva. Nisha anticipates that she will bag the role anyway, but fractures her leg.

Rahul starts searching for Maya like a mad man but doesn’t get lucky at all. One day he bumps into Pooja (Madhuri Dixit) who is dancing at the same studio, exactly how Maya would

He tries to persuade her and stalks her at vegetable markets. Pooja finally agrees to do his play.

When Nisha returns, she finds that Rahul (whom she loves) has fallen in love with Pooja. She feels horrible about it and in vengeance does the famous ‘Dance of Envy’ with Pooja. She proves that she’s better than Pooja, but everyone doesn’t quite like the fact that she was trying to intimidate Pooja, who is a humble person.

Meanwhile, Pooja, who is an orphan, raised by Ajay’s (Akshay Kumar) parents like their own child, gets a surprise from him and he proposes to marry her. She feels the obligation can only be reciprocated if she marries him. Rahul gets heart broken and behaves like a Romeo all along. She loves Rahul, but decides to sacrifice her love.

On the final night of their play, he confronts Pooja again on the stage to look into his eyes and say that she doesn’t love Rahul. She looks into his eyes, says what he wants to hear but with a half heart. Just when everyone thinks that this is going to be a sad ending, Ajay comes in and hits the play button on a tape recorder which plays a personal tape recorded by Pooja for Rahul.

The rest we know is, Dil To Pagal Hai remains one of the most romantic movies ever directed by the legend Yash Chopra. The movie’s message was loud and clear and still popular, ‘Someone, somewhere is made for you!’
