When love is not madness, it is not love...
HAAL-E-DIL is about the same neurotic madness that one suffers from when stuck in the maze called love. It's a young love story of people who'd go to any lengths to loose themselves as smoke loses itself to the sky. They'd go to any lengths to fuse that they'd not know where one ended and another began.
It's the story of Sanjana for whom love is chaste and sacred. For her love is not part of life but life itself. It's the story of Shekhar who keeps tripping for every second girl and loves to be in the perennial state of love not realizing that soon he is going to meet a girl who'll change his existence. It's the story of Rohit who would fall so deep in love that resurfacing would be not possible and he will stop at no barrier and boundary from achieving the love of his life
Sanjana suddenly discovers herself in the crossroad of life where she has to choose between her perfect love and a perfect stranger. What will you do when you find yourself falling for a man who is completely wrong for you and what if you are already in love with someone else?
HAAL-E-DIL is about ordinary people about to do extraordinary deeds in the name of love.
- Ein Liebesfilm über ein junges Mädchen, das die Liebe für etwas Heiliges ansieht, und einen heftig flirtenden jungen Mann. Was tut man, wenn man sich in jemanden verliebt, der vollkommen falsch für einen ist, und sich in dieser Liebe ganz verliert, völlig eins wird....

SYNOPSIS
When love is not madness, it is not love...
HAAL-E-DIL is about the same neurotic madness that one suffers from when stuck in the maze called love. It's a young love story of people who'd go to any lengths to loose themselves as smoke loses itself to the sky. They'd go to any lengths to fuse that they'd not know where one ended and another began.
It's the story of Sanjana for whom love is chaste and sacred. For her love is not part of life but life itself. It's the story of Shekhar who keeps tripping for every second girl and loves to be in the perennial state of love not realizing that soon he is going to meet a girl who'll change his existence. It's the story of Rohit who would fall so deep in love that resurfacing would be not possible and he will stop at no barrier and boundary from achieving the love of his life
Sanjana suddenly discovers herself in the crossroad of life where she has to choose between her perfect love and a perfect stranger. What will you do when you find yourself falling for a man who is completely wrong for you and what if you are already in love with someone else?
HAAL-E-DIL is about ordinary people about to do extraordinary deeds in the name of love.
This common question is addressed to the producer [Kumar Mangat], director [Anil Devgan] and lead actors [Amita Pathak, Nakuul Mehta, Adhyayan Suman] of HAAL-E-DIL: What actually did you see in the script of this film? And the next question is for the writer [Dhiraj Ratan]: How could you pen this apology of a script? Sorry, let me alter the question: Do you know the basics of screenplay writing?
Really, if there was a 'Razzie' [it salutes the worst in movies] in Bollywood, the writer would've walked away with the statuette, stealing the march from contenders like TASHAN, JIMMY and HASTEY HASTEY.
HAAL-E-DIL suits the adage so well - Body beautiful minus soul. Filmed on some stunning locales, the film registers a strong visual impact. Add to it the popular musical score. Also, the two lead men show sparks and are sure to be noticed, irrespective of how badly this film fares at the ticket window. Sadly, the shoddy writing camouflages the positives completely. You expect to be served a sumptuous, seven-course meal, but the writer serves you a few crumbs.
All said, HAAL-E-DIL is a terrible waste of a terrific opportunity. This one, I am sure, would easily rank prominently in the 'Letdowns of 2008' when one compiles the facts as the sun sets on the year.
HAAL-E-DIL tells the story of Sanjana [Amita Pathka], for whom love is chaste and sacred. It's the story of Shekhar [Nakuul Mehta], who keeps tripping for every second girl and loves to be in the perennial state of love, not realizing that he is going to meet a girl who'll change his existence. It's the story of Rohit [Adhyayan Suman], who would fall so deep in love that resurfacing would be impossible.
Sanjana is at the crossroads of life where she has to choose between her perfect love and a perfect stranger.
Strangely, two of the three Hindi releases this week bear an uncanny resemblance to the immensely likable JAB WE MET -- HAAL-E-DIL and KHUSHBOO. In this case, the story fails to grab your attention from the very start. In fact, confusion prevails all through this misadventure, so much so that there're times when the viewer is forced to ask the person seated next to him: How did that happen? Or what was that?
The love story is completely lifeless and the train yatra is anything but enjoyable. The adventure in the jungles [where the couple bumps into a Veerappan look-alike] is equally sad. If the intention was to add a dash of thrill or adventure to the goings-on, sorry, it falls flat. Or if the intention was to raise a few laughs, sorry again, it's anything but funny.
The 7-day fast undertaken by one of the leads in the concluding reels in equally phika. Are we living in the 21st century? Why is the screen writing so regressive in Hindi movies? Prior to that, the viewer learns that one of the leads has passed away and you actually fall off your seat. Ab yeh twist kahan se aaya?
Director Anil Devgan is off the mark this time. Frankly, his RAJU CHACHA and BLACKMAIL appear as classics when compared to this one. Music is the only saving grace. Every track has been filmed on a panoramic locale and acts as an eye candy. Cinematography [Rajeev Ravi] is efficient.
Nakuul Mehta may subconsciously be inspired by SRK, but you don't mind it. In all fairness, he's very confident, a bundle of energy and knows his job well. His expressions are perfect at all times. Adhyayan Suman definitely deserved a better launch. What's he doing in this film? He has the talent, which, unfortunately, hasn't been channelized at all in this misadventure.
Amita Pathak is a fine actor, no two opinions on that. But there's a problem. She looks too plump and her makeup makes her look mature. Very frankly, she looks much better in real life than on screen.
On the whole, HAAL-E-DIL is a complete dil-breaker. This one's gonna sink at the box-office!
Ich bin mit der Vorstellung in dem Film gegangen das er grausig ist, so schlimm ist er dann doch nicht gewesen, hab schon schlimmere gesehen ;) .
Haal-E-Dil - in meinem Herzen hat er keine Gefühle geweckt.
Der Lichtblick im Film sind die Songs, obwohl nicht unbedingt mein Stil, gefiel mir der Soundtrack, ich mag übrigens Gitarrenklänge. Auch die Kulissen (Landschaften) waren schön anzusehen.
So ziemlich am Anfang des Filmes ist eine Badewannen-Szene zu sehen, diese erinnerte mich irgendwie an Akki in Suhaag :D .
Der Film zieht sich (obwohl er gerade mal 2:06 geht), die Story ist fad und kommt irgendwie nicht so richtig in Fahrt. Gespannt war ich auf die Newcomer. Shekhar (Nakuul Mehta) gefiel mir noch am Besten, obwohl er mir eindeutig zu viel redete. Er erinnerte mich irgendwie an Shahid (jetzt nicht unbedingt optisch), Rohit (Adhyayan Suman) fand ich grausig in jeglicher Beziehung, wo hat Ajay den bloss gefunden :eek: . Sanju (Amita Pathak) war annehmbar, aber schauspielerisch überzeugt hat sie mich nicht wirklich.
Zum Ende hin taucht noch Kajols Mutter in einer Nebenrolle auf, ist mir wohl irgendwie entgangen das sie dort einen Gastauftritt hat und hätte ich nicht Rock’n Roll Family verfolgt wäre das wohl auch an mir vorbeigegangen.
Beim Making Of ist mir aufgefallen das Anil und Ajay Devgan sich so gar nicht ähnlich sehen. Übrigens ist in diesem nur ganz kurz Kajol zu sehen.
