Farhan Akhtar: Dil Chahta Hai
The trend-setting urban fable 'Dil Chahta Hai', Farhan Akhtar's directorial debut, was a leap from Bollywood's usual rich boy-meets-poor-girl saga. It defined the way the hip, cool and rich youth of the twenty-first century loved, argued and bantered. Akhtar grabbed the pulse of the over 20-something audiences for a film that marked actor Saif Ali Khan’s cinematic revival.
