✔ Introduction

Hello Friends, I hope you are doing fine and are having a good time on bitlanders. Today I have come up again with my another blog with the title of "Indian Movie Review - Yeh Dillagi". Friends, this blog is about a hit Indian movie "Yeh Dillagi". The story of this movie revolves around two heroes who have different priorities in their lives. One is a happy go lucky kind of guy and has too many girlfriends etc. The other one is a sober person who does what is right and is always thinking about bringing good name to his family in the society. The heroine in the movie plays a vital role in the movie and brings the former one to correct path by giving him a valuable lesson in his life. This Romantic Comedy and Family Drama Genres movie was directed by Naresh Malhotra and the movie was produced by Yash Chopra. The screen play for the movie was written by a veteran Indian writer Sachin Bhowmick and the movie was produced under the supervision of Yash Raj Films, an Indian Film Distribution and Production Company.

Love is such a phenomena that when a person (or two persons mutually) is hit by it, he / she never knows when it's happened. However Indian social and family values have always put a premium on brotherhood (and sisterhood) and the love between the siblings has been silently considered as supreme over the romantic love for the opposite sex. Nevertheless, it may happen that two sisters fall in love with the same man or two brothers fall in love with the same woman. In Indian patriarchal social set-up, the sisters' rivalry in love could be digested by the public but not the brothers' rivalry for that purpose. Movies like President (1937) and Bahaaren Phir Bhi Aayengi (1966) were made in Bollywood showing two real sisters falling in love with a common male. However the first Bollywood movie showing two real brothers as Raqeeb (rival in love) of each other is, in my opinion, Yeh Dillagi (this joke / this teasing) which came as late as in 1994.
