Akash, Sameer, Siddharth

These names were synonymous with friendship. Through their schooling, their college days they were regarded by all who knew them as inseparable. Nothing could come between them. Until something did. This is where the story of Dil Chahta Hai begins.

Akash (Aamir Khan) is a non-believer. He thinks the whole concept of love is created to ruin perfectly healthy two week long relationships. He has been heard saying and we quote "Woh do hafte bhi zayaada the". Sameer (Saif Ali Khan) is a believer. He wants to be in love. He loves being in love. Unfortunately for him though, he hasn't quite grasped the concept of it just yet. Wearing his heart in his sleeve, he is out there persevering, believing that he will find that 'special her' as long as he keeps looking. Siddharth (Akshaye Khanna) just is mature, sensitive and understanding. Siddharth a.k.a Sid knows the true meaning of the word. He feels it every day, every hour, every minute. He has, in a manner of speaking, attained modern day enlightenment.

Dil Chahta Hai is a film about these three distinct characters, they're individual relationships and the effect that those relationships have on their friendship.

Directed by Farhan Akhtar, starring Aamir Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Akshaye Khanna, Preity Zinta and Sonali Kulkarni, Dil Chahta Hai is celebrated for its fresh storytelling, iconic soundtrack and authentic portrayal of modern friendship.

A landmark film that redefined Hindi cinema for a new generation, this special 25th anniversary screening offers both longtime fans and new audiences the opportunity to rediscover a timeless coming-of-age story about friendship, love and growing up.
