Cast: Adhyayan Suman, Nakuul Mehta, Amita PathakDirector: Anil Devgan Two boys, one girl, one lo-o-o-o-ng train ride, and Shimla. This is a sort-of-triangle, toplining first-timers: Adhyayan is Shekhar Suman’s son, Amita is producer Kumar Mangat’s daughter, and Nakuul is the underdog-who-gets-the-girl.The first and second are in college . She runs into the third on a train, whose fave dialogue goes thus: Jahaan logic khatam hota hai, wahan magic shuru hota hai.Dunno about the magic, but ‘Haal-e-Dil’ sure beats logic, while it goes about reprising bits of ‘Jungle’ and ‘DDLJ’— Switzerland nahin toh Shimla sahi. One claimant to the girl’s hand is bumped off abruptly, so the other wins, but only after starving and shivering for a whole seven days at her door-step. Seriously.This is one of those films which fills in theatres in between the big releases.shubhra.gupta@gmail.com
