As a child of the ’90s, Dil Toh Pagal Hai holds a special place in my heart. The film was not just a romantic drama, but a dance extravaganza that showcased the incredible talent of three of Bollywood’s most iconic actresses – Madhuri Dixit, Karisma Kapoor, and me (just kidding, I was still in diapers back then!).
The romantic movie Dil Toh Pagal Hai, featuring Shah Rukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit, and Karisma Kapoor, is one of the most beloved films from the ’90s. As the film recently celebrated its 27th anniversary, Karisma shared Instagram stories showcasing her memorable dance sequences from the movie, reminiscing about its enchanting moments and cherished memories.
She labeled the initial post using a snippet from the well-known song Le Gaye, showcasing her standout solo dance act. The actress posted, “In celebration of DTPH’s release anniversary,” accompanied by four dancing, heart, thankful, and sparkle emojis. Later, Kapoor uploaded a screenshot from her dance in The Dance of Envy with Madhuri and wrote, “Magic and Memories,” followed by a blue heart symbol.
Under Yash Chopra’s direction, the movie made its debut on October 30, 1997, and became a huge success at the box office. To this day, it continues to captivate audiences, and as it marks 27 years since its release, Karisma Kapoor, who played the character of Nisha in the film, shared heartwarming anecdotes about it on Instagram.
In her stint on Indian Idol 12, the star of Biwi No. 1 reminisced about how several other actresses turned down the Nisha role initially, including herself. But, she decided to accept it when she learned that it would include dancing with the talented Madhuri Dixit, a renowned dancer. However, her mother persuaded her to seize the chance and put in the effort to make the most of it.
At first, I also declined the offer as it was a dance movie featuring competition with Madhuri Dixit. I thought, “This isn’t going to happen.” Eventually, Yash ji and Adi shared the story with me. My mom encouraged me, saying, “You should accept this challenge. After all, you are a big fan of Madhuri Dixit, and you must do it. With your hard work, you will shine brightly.
Instead of typical ’90s romantic movies that frequently revolved around familial conflicts, Dil Toh Pagal Hai stood out as a musical love story. The movie’s dance routines and melodies sparked a frenzy among young audiences, and the music remains iconic for fans even today.
In the movie, Karisma Kapoor delivered a noteworthy portrayal of Nisha, a woman who harbors unrequited affection for Rahul, played by Shah Rukh Khan. The complex dynamics are further complicated when it’s revealed that Rahul is in love with Pooja, played by Madhuri Dixit, creating a romantic triangle.
The movie “Dil Toh Pagal Hai” proved to be a major commercial triumph, earning 23 awards and ranking among the top-earning films of that particular year.
