Dil Hai Tumhaara is not a great film but it is a heartwarming family drama which was made in the most traditional way. The last few scenes become increasingly and typically emotional.

You just feel its profound, unrestrained Hindi film style all over, but it works. All the songs, without exception, are melodious and beautiful. Having said that, the main and only reason this film works consists of two words: Preity Zinta.

This is a good movie (after the dark 15 minute beginning then first half is mostly silly, over-the-top, second half is serious/intense).

But it is mislabeled on Amazon - the discs being sold at this link (by all vendors associated here) are NOT anamorphic.

The only 'anamorphic' version of this DVD disc for America (NTSC format, dual layer) is from 'Madhu'. That DVD cover has a big smiling face of 'Preity Zinta' in the upper left corner on the front. The DVD "cover" that is being incorrectly advertised here at this link (by Amazon) is the same "cover" as found on the British release for PAL format (not American NTSC format).

This movie is primarily about sacrifice (typical theme for Bollywood), and it works here again. I have watched it several times.

Concerning the actual movie quality of the good 'Madhu' disc (story/acting/dance/music) - the cast is solid, the story is good, while the picture quality is average. I really liked the music (3 songs are special) and the last dance scene is beautiful/touching. If this ever comes out on a good transfer blu-ray, I will be buying it!

Simply love this movie with a great cast like Arjun Rampal, Mahima Chaudry, Rekha and most of all Preity Zinta with her superb acting which made this movie such a winner.
The story revolves around a mother(Rekha) and her 2 daughters, one being her real biological daughter(Mahima Chaudry) and the other an adopted one( Preity Zinta) from her husband's affair with another woman. Anyway, both husband and mistress perished in a car accident and upon his death bed he made her promised to adopt the younger daughter as her own. How the whole story played out was a heart wrenching mother-daughter relationship,full of resentment from the mother for her adopted daughter and in turn feelings of neglect and unlove from younger daughter who was unaware of her adoption since little. What held it together while growing up in this family was the unconditional love from her older sister and as the movie progresses one sister had to sacrifice her love of the guy (they both fell in love with the same man of course)for the sake of the other sister.......
Rekha's performance as the cold mother and a doting one at the same time was fantastic but Preity Zinta was the obvious star in the movie with her outstanding performance. She played her character so well with such vivacity & fire as well as heartbreaking sadness in some scenes- guaranteed to bring you some tears!
All the songs were fantastic. In fact, it isn't often to find a movie with ALL of the sound tracks so memorable and enjoyable. Dil Hai Tumhara is worth watching and keeping.
