This week, I had been working on writing on Dil Chahta Hai. My resolution for this year that I have to write on the film. I always keep stalling and am never able to write. I have to write somehow. I did not get any time to watch any other movie and this entire week, I spent all my time thinking about the film. I am just amazed that there is so much to learn from that film every time I watch it. Maybe I am dumb that I am not able to understand its depth, but there is something that strikes me that I have not thought about before. For instance, isn't it worth noting that each of the three, Aakash, Sameer, and Sid, have their own fantasy sequence where they realize they are in love? Sid has the song Kaisi Hai Yeh Rut in which he realizes his love for Tara in the nature, Sameer has his own song Woh Ladki Hai Kahan in which he imagines himself on screen and after which he realizes his love for Pooja, and Aakash, the one who does not believe in love, is befittingly given the most dramatic sequence of an opera to make him realize his love for Shalini using the story of Troilus and Cressida? Or isn't it also interesting that Tara's profession as an interior designer is somehwat ironical? Someone whose own home is broken, designs and makes other people's homes beautiful? And, in the song Kaisi Hai Yeh Rut, Sid is seen floating on a moon, was it symbolically referring that he is the moon to the star — Tara? In fact, a broken star, a tootata tara, also passes through the song at that precise moment, just like Tara who is also broken? I love this movie, and have written many new points on the film. It is just I need to find the right words and I am very bad at writing them. I wish I could write better. I have written about eight pages on the film and somehow, I am not able to put in the right words. I wish I was a better writer. I am working on it and just putting some tweets on it that I wrote. I only hope I am able to finish it soon.
The broken star — Tara
Love these interesting, almost weird props present throughout #DilChahtaHai. Like this blue horse in Tara's room. pic.twitter.com/gOHJ08iviG

A fabulous paper on ‘Relationships Which Have No Name’ based on Dil Chahta Hai and people accuse me of overanalysis http://t.co/v6CqIMUu2X

Sameer's room is all sciency with posters of Science Fiction and a telescope. Sid's room is all arty with paintings. pic.twitter.com/67koQmwk3e

I want to see this film Woh Ladki Hai Kahan, too. Is that Raveena Tandon on the poster? pic.twitter.com/6G0UXcMpVG

@sachdeva_pankaj you forced me to watch it again man! My fav scene at 28 mins, one of yours is, lemme guess, 49 min https://t.co/tMW2HzpsRC

@iabhishekkhanna 28 min one is a classic. Yup, 49 min, and also 36 min which has actually taught me how to watch movies deeply :)

Amazing that every time I watch Dil Chahta Hai, I learn something new. Costumes tell a new meaning itself.

Dolphins, traditionally, symbolize love. Sid, surrounded by love, is the moon for his star — Tara. <3 #DilChahtaHai pic.twitter.com/FXwKgYDH9w
