Yeh Dillagi (1994)

The main leading actors in this movie are; Kajol, Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan in this family drama and romantic movie. The story revolves around two brothers, Vijay Saigal (Akshay), Vicky Saigal (Saif) and their chauffeur Dharampal's daughter Sapna (Kajol). Sapna's character dreams of riches and day dreams about her dream man who she would want to be with in the future or now. These two brothers are heirs to Saigal Industries, but only one son works properly in the family business. Vicky is the player type son of the Saigal family who does no work in the family business, he is a womanizer, flirt and believes in the one-time affairs not into a commitment with any girl. On the other hand, Vijay is the opposite type son since he's all work in the business and no play unlike his brother Vicky. When Sapna becomes one of Vicky's dream girls after she becomes a model and is 'materialistic', meaning the type of girl he would date. This is when Vicky falls for her and see's her as his dream girl. But after Sapna falls into all this success, it doesn't change who she really is and status of where she comes from. His mom wouldn't fall for this since she wouldn't approve of this relationship, plus Vicky isn't aware if Sapna likes him back or not. Vijay goes for a business trip to where she's doing a modelling gig and they become friends, which leads to more than a friendship. There are many twists and turns after Vijay and Sapna fall for one another since Vicky turns his life around after Sapna left him. There are major sacrifices made by one of the brothers which leads to an unexpected ending in my opinion.

This movie was very different since it was a different type of story than most older bollywood movies. I loved how it showed the two families being from rich and poor, it shows clearly that some people would never change to make their children happy. It teaches a lesson on how one's status. shouldn't stop someone from being with the one's they love. In this case, it shouldn't have made Mrs. Shanti Saigal disapprove of her son's relationship with their chauffeur's daughter, Sapna. I also have to say that the scenes leading to the ending were very different compared to other movies and it touched upon a different genre of family drama in its own way. I would give this movie a 9/10, loved the music, good actors, amazing story and some scenes did lack some chemistry in my opinion but the viewer is the judge of that. This movie had a few genres like; comedy, romance and musical too. I can watch this movie more than once since it has amazing songs and a story which really gives a good message to the audience.

Tanu Weds Manu (2011)

In this movie, the main actors/actresses include; Kangana Ranaut, Jimmy Shergill, Madhavan and Rajendra Gupta. The movie starts with London-based doctor, Manoj Sharma (Madhavan) coming to India with his family to meet his soon-to be bride, Tanuja Trivedi (Kangana). He approves of her, since he thinks that she also likes him back as well. He tells his family that he accepts this rishta and the preparations for the wedding start. Then Tanuja tells him that she has a boyfriend and wants to marry him even if it goes against her parent's wishes. The boyfriend role is played by Jimmy Shergill, who wants to marry Tanuja and doesn't like Manoj at all. His parents decide that they should look for other girls for their son, even though he has fallen for Tanuja already. But these two, Manoj and Tanuja meet once again for the marriage of Jassi and Payal. During this wedding, all doesn't go well since Tanuja tries to get his assistance to elope with her boyfriend.

This movie has its ups and downs, which were fixed in some scenes but overall it was a good movie to see in your pass time. In my overall opinion, I would say give it a shot, its a fun filled movie with both romance and humour too. Kangana was the best in the movie, she really knew how to play a small town girl and her role was convincing till the end of the movie. The music was very well done and some songs were surprising since they were different such as how they used the punjabi song 'Sadi Gali' in the movie which suited the punjabi wedding environment. The movie may seem flawed at times, but it will never lose your attention and could be one of those movies which could been seen once. Also showing how two lovers who are total opposites do attract even if there opposites to the extreme level. The lesson is that to be learned in this movie being how in every type relationship, they will be faced with obstacles and have to get it over with and let them pass. The rating I would give this movie would be 7.5/10 because of the good songs, amazing and flawless acting by Kangana and the story line too. I felt that this movie you can only watch once or twice, but if you are a big fan of Kangana then you could watch it even more since she is usually flawless in all her movies.
