I have some conflicting opinions about this emotionally complex film, which I'll try to dance around without giving any of the story away (and it won't be easy). When it comes down to it, though, I just can't give Dil Ka Rishta less than five stars. The story is deep and compelling, the acting is top-notch, the music is delightful, the cinematography is exquisite, and Aishwarya Rai is even more gorgeous than usual. It really is a beautiful film.
My only problem with the film is Jai (Arjun Rampal), the main character. I didn't like him, and I certainly didn't respect him. I can't blame him for falling in love with the most beautiful woman in the world, but the guy knows even less about women than I do. I at least know that you can't buy a woman's love with expensive gifts, and I also know that there comes a time when you just have to get over it, already. Go ahead and wallow in self-pity for quite a while, but get on with life - and think about the happiness of the woman who rejected you instead of just yourself. Jai, needless to say, thinks only of himself. Then something truly life-changing happens, giving Jai a second chance with Tia (Rai). Since I can't give anything away about the plot, I really can't explain this in my review - but, in my opinion, Jai doesn't deserve another shot - not even close. I felt a little sorry for him, as his emotional issues and devastating guilt threaten to tear him apart, but not all that much - he's not too far away from contemptible in my book. Obviously, as my feelings about Jai make clear, Dil Ka Rishta is in no way your typical romance. Love doesn't get any more complicated than it does here - and that does make for a powerful storyline.
I love every single piece of music in the film. There are a couple of wonderful love songs (including the title track) played out in front of some breathtaking scenes of natural beauty. Dil Chura Le is a tender, exquisite love song. Saajan Saajan is also all about love, but it's an energetic, well-choreographed song and dance featuring Aishwarya. Then there's Dayya Dayya Dayya; some folks don't consider the song all that special, but I really like it - and Aishwarya is absolutely smoking as she goes through multiple costumes over the course of the performance.
Dil Ka Rishta does feature some light comedy here and there, but in its essence it is an extraordinarily tragic story about one woman and two lives. Despite her critics, Aishwarya Rai is an accomplished dramatic actress - she proves it in numerous scenes here. I wish I could better describe the complexity of the film, but it's impossible to do so without revealing far too much of the storyline. In essence, this is a film to experience, not merely watch. Those who see it won't forget it anytime soon - I think it is fully capable of inspiring a range of different emotions among viewers.

Dil Ka Rishta was released in 2003 and stars Aishwarya Rai as Tia Sharma, Arjun Rampal as Jai Mehta, Rakhee as Mrs Sharma, Priyanshy Chatterjee as Raj, Paresh Rawl as Mr Mehta.
Wealthy Jai sees teacher Tia at a school for deaf mute children and instantly falls in love with her and tells his dad he wants to marry this woman. He tries to get close to her and the day he declares his love for her he finds out she's engaged to Raj. Jai tries to worm his way into Tia's affections with expensive gestures which, of course, don't work as Tia is devoted to Raj. Jai turns to drink to drown his sorrows about Tia rejecting him and Tia lives happily with Raj until something tragic happens which throws Tia and Raj together.
Firstly how often do men really fall in love with women they haven't even spoken with and tell their family they're getting married? If the tragey that occurs halfway through the film had happened in, say, the UK or the US, Jai would have definitely been facing a long jail sentence regardless of how rich he was. This is Bollywood so there's no police even involved in the situation or threat of them. The story overall was rather unrealistic, the ending was satisfying in some ways but really done so as to satisfy typical Bollywood audiences. One wished the writers had given the film an unpredictable twist and one can understand in many ways why this wasn't a hit film on its release.
The locales in the film look good and the music is great. Rai's acting was superb throughout the film and she looked nothing less than stunning all the way through. Rakhee was suited to the maternal role and Rampal and Rawal had good father son chemistry.
The film is worth watching if you're a staunch fan of the leads but don't go watching this looking for a great story or you'll be left wanting!

I rarely watch sub titled films but saw this one on the plane. Absolutely brilliant-acting storyline, music, dancing, scenery,. What a incredible plot. Had this been in English it would have been a huge hit in the west. They just do not make them like this here.
