Dil Chahta Hai

Dil Chahta Hai is a 2001 Indian Hindi-language comedy-drama film written and directed by Farhan Akhtar in his directorial debut. The film follows the lives of three college-graduate friends, Akash, Sameer, and Siddharth, as they navigate love, friendship, and identity in urban India. The story is based on Akhtar's diary and a story by his friend Kassim Jagmagia, and was filmed in India and Australia with a budget of ₹80 million. The film premiered on August 10, 2001, and received widespread critical acclaim, winning 2 awards at the 49th National Film Awards and 7 awards at the 47th Filmfare Awards, including Best Film and Best Supporting Actor. The film was a commercial success in metropolitan areas, but failed in rural areas due to its depiction of an upper-class, city-oriented lifestyle. It has since become a cult classic and is known for its fresh storyline, direction, soundtrack, cinematography, and performances.learn more on wikipedia
