The film that rules hearts of millions still, Dil Chahta Hai completed 14 years and it brought back many fond memories. Taking a trip down the memory lane, I couldn’t help but think how much this film changed how the youth looked at Indian cinema, especially if you are 90s kid.
1. A break from commercial cinema:
The film broke the monotony and was a more realistic approach to life.

2. Meaning of true friendship:
No matter what happens, best friends stick through thick and thin. Friends for live was not just a fancy phrase, Dil Chahta Hai showed us its true meaning. “Yaa toh dosti gehri hain, ya toh photo 3D hain!”

3. A very real take on the relationship problems of the youth:
The film got us and got to us. The complications, the ramifications, the khatta-meetha, the attractions and different aspects of different relations were painted on the silver screen they way they were.

4. Road-trips with friends are a must:
Not that family ones can’t be fun. But with friends road-trips are more special and re-define the meaning of masti. #KaisaAjabYehSafarHain

5. A sensitive take on tabooed relations:
The subject was dealt with care and dating trends changed too.

6. It has such cool and funny dialogues:
“Subodh tumhe time yaad nahi?”, “Tujhe kya lagta hai, main roz iss takhiye pe baithta hoon?”, “Perfection ko improve karna mushkil hota hai”, “Cake khaane ke liye humlog kahi bhi jaa sakte hain”, and many more..

7. Music that never ages:
All the tracks! I repeat! All the tracks from Dil Chahta Hai are timeless. Even if you hear them today, you would be mesmerized. It has a song for every mood, sung by best singers and from one of the best music composers.
8. Farhan Akhtar happened to Bollywood:
His way of seeing things is so much different than others. With Dil Chahta Hai, we got peeked into his mind and just loved it. Post that, till date who doesn’t love Farhan and his movies?

9. It was a trendsetter:
Be it Aamir’s goatee, the concept of road trips, Goa being a friends’ fort, funky dialogues, the clothes or how it shaped ideology of the youth, the film was a trendsetter in every way!
