Yeh Dil Aashiqana is highly inspired by the
1999 December 24 hijacking of the Indian Airlines flight.
The story revolves around two college-mates Karan (Karan Nath) and Pooja (Jeevidha) who
are in love |
|
with each other. Everything goes fine in
their love story till Pooja's flight is hijacked by terrorists, following the arrest of
their leader Ashraf-ul-Haq Mallik. When Karan learns about this, he decides to put his
life at risk and rescue his beloved and the other passengers. He succeeds in his effort
but by doing so, he ends up earning the wrath of Akhmash Jalal (Aditya Pancholi), the
terrorist head. Meanwhile, Pooja is unaware that the mastermind behind the hijack is none
other than her brother Vijay Verma (Rajat Bedi). So, when she discloses her intentions of
getting married to |
|
iKaran, Vijay strongly opposes it. Karan and
Pooja decide to go ahead with their plan and hence elope but are caught and held captive
by Akhmash and his men. Akhmash then blackmails the Government |
demanding the release of his arrested leader
as ransom for Karan and Pooja's lives. In the end, the terrorist's mission gets aborted
and the couple is rescued.
Yeh Dil Aashiqana is a joint venture by Aruna Irani and Kuku Kohli. Cinematography in this
film by Baba Azmi is the best thing one can talk about. The action scenes are superbly
executed especially the heicopter |
|
|
chase scene. Unlike most love stories, the pace of this film is
fast and post interval the film gathers momentum. The dialogues are noteworthy. Editing
and art direction is good. Music by Nadeem Shravan is |
|
highly melodious. The background score
heightens the overall impact. The other hit numbers are 'Ae Meri Natkathi' and 'Utha Le
Jaoonga'. The qawwali is also very well picturised.
Performance-wise both the hero and the heroine, though newcomers are at their best. Karan
Nath seems to have worked hard on each and every scene of his and has a promising future.
Jeevidha though doesn't have stunning looks performs quite well. Aditya Pancholi is
excellent. Aruna Irani |
|
doesn't have
much to perform. Rajat Bedi, Johnny Lever and the other supporting casts are OK.
Overall, the film is average and though not a super hit will surely appeal to the
action-movie lovers. |
