The movie, 30 years later continues to still be heartwarming. Dillagi is one fine film that you can definitely consider watching this week. The movie is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
1. Dillagi is an underrated movie from the 90s?
It does not have any Khan but the fantastic Deol brothers who are poles apart in terms of their personality in the film. Rajvir and Ranvir played by Bobby and Sunny respectively add masala in the movie due to their mere presence and acting.?
While Rajvir is brash, arrogant and high maintenance, his elder brother Ranvir is humble and down to earth. Needless to say, Shalini earlier falls for the younger one, Rajvir, in her college and the madness begins from there.?
2. Dillagi is visually beautiful and pleasant to watch
The locations, the cast, the outfits are al so visually appealing that it definitely deserves extra credit.?
?3. Kya Yeh Sach hai still an evergreen song?
?This particular song is a classic till date. Whoever has seen this movie in the 90s still enjoys playing this track on their Spotify. Listen to it and let the nostalgia kick in.
4. Sunny Deol made a debut as a director in the film and acted too?
The film is noted for being the first time Sunny Deol directed a film and also the first time he acted alongside his brother Bobby. Sunny plays the strong and silent guy in the film, unlike his usually action packed thriller films, you will see Ranvir playing the shy guy who can't express his feelings to Shalini or his brother.?
?5. Urmila adds the right kind of glamour in the film?
I don't know how many of you have noticed but Urmila is hands down the original pout queen. The movie has Urmila looking pretty like a doll and adding just the right emotions. Even during the heartbreak scene, you can't help but notice how beautiful she looks in every frame.?
?6. The storyline with twist and turns makes it a exciting watch
There is a point where Rajvir dumps Shalini and she is shattered and that's when Ranvir comes along. She starts falling in love again when Rajvir again returns. The plot twist is that two brothers and Shalini are completely unaware that they love the same girl ie her.?
?7. Zohra Sehgal as the sincere grandmom makes you want to have a grandmom like her
Zohra played a doting grandmother to actor brothers Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol in their family drama. A scene where Sunny Deol picks up Zohra Sehgal in his arms to make her meet Urmila Matondkar is heartwarming.?
8. An out and out family entertainer?
Whether its emotions, a little bit of action, revenge between the brothers followed by guilt and love, the movie is truly heart touching and makes for a great watch.?
9. The songs and dance go perfectly well with the story?
Whether its Dhoom Dhoom Lakh Lakh or the title track Dillagi, it goes perfectly well with the storyline. Infact, the original song Can't Take My Eyes Off got remixed in this song with Haan Haan Yeh Pyaar Hai and this too became an instant hit.
