'Dil Chahta Hai' | Has It Aged Well?

IVM Pop

On the first episode of the show Abbas and Urjita are joined by stand-up comedian, writer and Bollywood lover Sonali Thakker to revisit Farhan Akhtar's debut feature 'Dil Chahta Hai'. We discuss whether this movie invented the impromptu Goa plan, why rich people were always villains in movies before this, whether the film broke the mould for curly haired heroines, were Aamir and Ayyub Khan's characters two halves of the same coin, was Subodh the ideal guy? and which 90s sitcom connects two characters from this movie.
