Today marks the 25th anniversary of Dil Toh Pagal Hai’s and fans are remembering star moments from the movie. Shah Rukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit and Karisma Kapoor impart important lessons on love and most importantly, on friendship. With a fantastic storyline that revolves around the freshness of new love, letting go when the time comes and being kind is what the audience relates to, the most.
Let’s go back a notch and reminisce about the lessons this movie has given all of us.
Letting go of love When Ajay (Akshay Kumar) made the decision to showcase Pooja’s (Madhuri Dixit) love to Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan) in front of the play’s audience, he let his love go. He made the sacrifice to let Pooja go because she loved Rahul more than anyone else. And when you really love someone, instead of keeping them to yourself, you let them go.
Friendship is bigger than love The bonds of friendship are strong, pure and for life. As much as love has the power to destroy relationships, friendships protect them. Nisha (Karisma Kapoor) didn’t ruin her friendship despite feeling heartbroken due to her feelings for Rahul. Instead, she chose to treasure her beautiful bond of friendship with Rahul.
The emotionally vulnerable moments are bigger than everything This film has taught everyone the importance of friendship and love. From being emotionally expressive to letting go, the intricate details of love and friendship are what resonated with the public. Even when the heart gets broken, holding onto the relationships that really matter, is what this film focuses on.
Open conversations are important This film has a range of emotions—jealousy, vulnerability, confusion, love, etc. However, the best part about this all is how the characters were completely alright with expressing their feelings to one another. They were okay with being vulnerable and opening up to each other about the secret, harboured feelings.
Patience is virtue With patience comes a great deal of happiness in the end. The characters were patient with each other’s feelings and didn’t jump to any decision hastily. Each one of the characters thought hard about the things they should and shouldn’t do. And waiting patiently for a chance to express your feelings is what made this love triangle story so special!
The film’s catchphrase blew us away Dil Toh Pagal Hai led all of us to believe that ‘someone, somewhere is made for you.’ The true die-hard romantic can easily relate to this movie and feel inspired to embrace love in all its form.
