Dil Chahta Hai | Has It Aged Well? Ep. 01 | Ft.

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.

Why didn’t you talk about Mahesh uncle? There has not been a hotter uncle onscreen 😂

[@bhaktikarambelkar9118]

So true!

[@someshyv]

Mahesh dalllleee

[@yohjinonoki]

I def have a thing for him

[@RohanMalhotra1995]

Dil Chahta Hai was monumental for roadtrips and Goa trips. And i'm blown away from the theory of impulse, super ego and balance. That's so true. When i watched it for the first time, i related to Akshay Khanna more than the other two, then in college towards Saif and now with Aamir Khan (extremely impulsive).

[@bhaktikarambelkar9118]

My observation about this movie is there is a constant blue shade on screen

[@snek4699]

Actually Vinay pathak was named Vinnie sir in Hip hop hurray… Subodh the art teacher.

[@prateeksingh3182]

It was played by Sanjay mishra

[@raux82]

it was not a Sting song, which Ayyub Khan was listening to. He was listening to Carlos Santana.

[@macksequeira4233]

Shankar Mahadevan's Breathless 1998 musical video was helmed by both, Farhan and Zoya. Lyrics : Javed Akhtar Music : SHANKAR-EHSAAN-LOY That's where SEL & Farhan & Zoya's bonding began

[@ahdityuh]

Love the concept. Came wait for more episodes 😄

[@rohitp8900]

Urjita a little pet peeve now that l have seen many of the episodes of this series…sometimes you are totally clueless like in the case of bombay velvet or you just state stuff thats false just for the heck of it.. saif has said in multiple interviews that it was Aamir and his presence that made saif say yes……saif was worried about the new director and fresh perspective……saif candidly admitted that farhan felt insulted that saif said yes coz of aamirs presence and not farhans script. once Aamir signed the film, that’s when things fell into place. Farhan has said that when Aamir said yes to the film, that was one of the biggest moments of his life. Its all there on Google so when you do such a show, please do your homework or else dont speculate unnecessarily. Even the guest knew that fact.

[@gruntgobshite]

Correct. Saif himself said the same in his interview with Mayank Shekhar. Yeh Urjita kuchh bhi bolti hai.

[@aparimit]

Urjit saw the Vinit Masram video on Dil Chahta hai's Psychoanalysis

[@20shourya]

if they start making films like Dil Chahta hai again, i might actually get back to watching hindi films. Since Piku i have found everything to just be too cringey or just south indian inspired (in the bad sense).

[@prateeksingh3182]

Urjita I can relate to because I was also 3

[@n8784]

Abbey yaar. I'm so busy with work but now I have to watch Dil chata hai again.

[@deepakr9863]

even we lived dil chata but midclass Mumbaikar we went to ali Baugh in maruti 800 not goa .

[@prateeksingh3182]

Yeh hip hip hurray waala mere ko 2016 mein samajh mein aaya tha jab maine hip hip hurray ka rerun Zing pe dekha tha

[@bhargavipatel7232]

It wasn't cancer. It was liver cirrhosis.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6jWmZiMZZuWock Here is the video essay on DCH that Urjita/Sonali mentioned! The one with id, ego and superego breakdown! Loved this episode btw! Looking forward to many more 👌

[@Nina-oi1qk]

Actually Lagaan was the first film shot in Sync sound and with a schedule.

[@Manish-pz1xi]

Absolutely wrong Kal ho na ho tune is there in k3g, hritik talking to kareena about srk in a coffee shop . The background music is kal ho na ho . Similar is lamhe movie song kabhie mae kahun , was originally background in chandni.....

[@freshpinkmagnolia9489]

Awesome episode

[@atishaykrjain]

Sonali Thakker practiced and went full Monty on her American heavy "for sure"...alag hi level ka fakeness hai !!!

[@maheshmenon1363]

Urjita and Abbas , mere “India Pod Day 2023” ke comments ke liye maafi. Binge listening and now this is the 3rd episode after Dev D and Maqbool. loved DCH and it was pleasant coincidence that while I was listening to this episode I happened to be passing by the theatre where I saw this movie (Kamran at Kurla, ekdum hi shady theatre hua karta tha and agar ache theatres mein tickets nahi milti toh yahan zaroor mil jaata tha).enjoyed listening to this episode and your respective takes about the movie

[@onkarsawantbhosle3146]

Aamir Khan should be credited for making Goa and Ladakh trips a thing!

The girl in red ❤

[@prateeksingh3182]

Himalayputra ka I remember uska promo was kaafi western

[@onkarsawantbhosle3146]

id, ego, super ego video you're talking about is by Vinit Masram who unfortunately is no more. Cinema Beyond Entertainment is the name of the channel. It's a gem

[@saahilgupta7175]

What happened to that guy???

[@onkarsawantbhosle3146]

@@saahilgupta7175 I don't exactly know. But unfortunately he's no more. And I was so shocked when I heard that. I loved his work.

[@swapnilphale4222]

Guys, main scene toh aap log bhul hi Gaye...." Perfection ko improve karna mushkil hota hai..."

[@Akash_158]

No i am not 🤕

[@jayantjj]

Mediocre film. The film is nothing about friendship, life or its tendency to give you a reality check (which it pretended to be early on). Bunch of dragged and convenient love stories

[@nietin5858]

A show of verbal diarrhea. UP kyun nahin jate Gangs of Wasseypur dekhkar. Perhaps one reason that the movie is not based in UP.

[@jitkr1489]

Toxic? lol.. WTF are you guys thinking? I love your podcast, but yeh ladki bechari aur ladke toxic narrative is boring!! Sab udharich leke jaana hai? Akshay Khanna Hero Hirala nahi dikhta.. bhai tu kaunse duniya mein rehti hai jaha sab Brad Pitt ghumte hai.. lol.. lay bhari !!

[@rajatbharti1133]

Can’t believe Urjita and Abbas also identify themselves as comedians
