Haal-e-Dil

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 Suman8217;s son, Amita is producer Kumar Mangat8217;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 8216;Haal-e-Dil8217; sure beats logic, while it goes about reprising bits of 8216;Jungle8217; and 8216;DDLJ8217;8212; Switzerland nahin toh Shimla sahi. One claimant to the girl8217;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.
