Made in 1997, Dil To Pagal Hai ("The Heart is Crazy") was a runaway hit, with an array of excellent songs, memorable scenes and outstanding performances by the three leads. Considered a must-see among Bollywood films and a prime example of Bollywood screen couple (or "jodi") popularity in the form of Shah Rukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit.
The following tropes that occur in the movie:[]
- Almost Kiss: One of the most memorable scenes from the movie revolves around this trope.
- Watch it here.
- Arranged Marriage: Pooja is set to marry her childhood sweetheart so that she can officially be part of her adopted family until she falls in love with Rahul.
- Betty and Veronica: And how.
- Can't Spit It Out
- Crowd Song: Come on....
- Ear Worm Plural and Famously so.
- The Charmer: Rahul. Not undeserved considering its Shah Rukh Khan that plays him.
- Cleaning Up Romantic Loose Ends: End of the movie, everyone is paired off.
- Fan-Preferred Couple: Rahul and Nisha have a following, if only because Pooja is sometimes considered TOO perfect...
- I Want My Beloved to Be Happy - Nisha and Pooja's childhood sweetheart.
- Just Friends: Pooja tries to pass this off with Rahul due to her betrothal to Ajay. Rahul considers Nisha to be just a friend.
- Love Hurts: And how!
- Mating Dance: Rahul on the bongos being answered by Pooja's ankle bells in the adjoining room. To watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B 1 L Zp X Fdrv I
- Red String of Fate: Pooja pretty much recites the definition of this in the opening monologue. Suffice to say it is a factor in her love life.
- Wet Sari Scene: In the song Koi Ladki Hai.
