Manic Pixie Dream Girl: Deconstructed with Pooja.Pooja also tries to keep her relationship with Rahul in this territory due to becoming engaged to Ajay. Just Friends: Rahul and Nisha and Pooja and Ajay are both pairs of platonic friends who have known each other for years and who suddenly have their relationship complicated by one of them catching feelings that the other doesn't reciprocate.I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Nisha and Ajay both ultimately have this attitude, although Nisha takes it Up to Eleven, becoming so distraught on Rahul's behalf when it looks as though he and Pooja aren't going to get together that she's almost in tears.First Girl Wins: Nisha is the first girl in Rahul's life and the first one the audience sees in the story proper, but Pooja is the one the audience sees and hears talking about the Red String of Fate in the prologue portion before the opening credits.If it weren't for Ajay intervening at the eleventh hour and telling her that their engagement was a bad idea, basically everybody would have ended up unhappy. Fatal Flaw: Pooja's willingness to sacrifice her own happiness in order to avoid hurting somebody else.Unsurprising considering it's Shah Rukh Khan that plays him. They're technically adoptive siblings, but seem to just view themselves as best friends rather than brother and sister. Nisha has been friends with Rahul long enough that he has no hesitation in barging into her apartment when he needs to, while he and Pooja don't even meet until intermission. However, this is reversed in their respective roles in Rahul's life.
Pooja's style draws more from the ancient classical style of Kathak (which Madhuri Dixit is a trained dancer in), while Nisha primarily dances in more Western-influenced motions. Betty and Veronica: Pooja is the sweet, demure Betty who dresses in saris and dreams of true love, while Nisha is the brash, modern Veronica who is generally comfortable wearing and saying what she wants.This trope is somewhat subverted in that while Pooja isn't in love with Ajay and his parents are overjoyed at the prospect, Ajay initiated the whole thing before his parents even found out about it. Arranged Marriage: Pooja is all set to marry Ajay so that she can officially be part of her adopted family until she falls in love with Rahul.Rahul has Pooja's bangle and refuses to give it back until she comes closer. Almost Kiss: One of the most memorable scenes from the movie revolves around this trope.All Love Is Unrequited: Rahul and Nisha have a conversation in the third act in which they basically say this outright, with Nisha heartbroken over Rahul and angry at herself for being unable to be happy for him, and Rahul pining after Pooja and angry that he can't just love Nisha instead.The movie still warms our hearts-whenever we put it on TV. Their ‘Chak Dhoom Dhoom’ dance in the rain was the cynosure of everything cute and romantic at that time.Īll in all, the movie had set romance standards to new heights upon its release owing to the fire chemistry between Khan and Dixit, excellent acting by Kapoor, and a wonderful comic timing in the cameo by Akshay Kumar. The chemistry and romance between Khan and Dixit were admired by the audience at that time. That tune is so iconic that a lot of us still continue to associate the movie with the melody. Khan’s whistle became the go-to flirting technique in the young boys at that time. The audience accepted it with warm hearts. This movie was kind of the first revolutionary dance movie in India. Her jugalbandi scene with Kapoor and her solo piece in the Anarkali were loved and appreciated by one and all. Madhuri Dixit’s dance, as always, was totally mind-blowing. Plus, her acting too was well appreciated and quite convincing. Her outfits immediately became style inspirations for the young girls at that time. ‘Le gayi Le gayi’ set trends and records with its release. Karisma Kapoor’s outfits and dance was out of this world. Since, the movie completes 22 years today, as shared by Madhuri Dixit Nene on her Instagram account we commemorate everything good about the movie. The melodious tunes, iconic dialogues, and the evergreen Shah Rukh Khan whistle - the movie has been a perfect recipe for a big hit. Be it iconic suits donned by Dixit, sporty outfits by Khan, or cute trendy outfits by Kapoor, the movie put up a fashion A-game in every aspect. This Shah Rukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit, and Karisma Kapoor starrer set new trends in many ways. Release on October 31, 1997, ‘Dil Toh Pagal Hai’ was an instant hit among the youth and families alike.
