Dil Se.. (1998)

Dil Se.. is a love story about two people on different paths who have a chance meeting at a train station, in the rain for extra dramatic effect. It's woven around a political situation that promises no happy ending, and yet happiness is just a song and dance away...
I've heard people say that Bollywood is unrealistic, that the all-singing, all-dancing protagonists are unnecessary, but I don't care. It is what it is and I like it. One of the happy songs got stuck in my head.  I can't shake it. I don't think I want to. No one does love stories quite like India. They're a roller-coaster ride of emotions.
