as an unidentified virus sweeps the country , the korean government declares martial law . as the country descends into chaos , one city , busan , is rumoured to have successfully fended off the virus outbreak and remains the only beacon of hope for those not yet infected . but when the virus breaks out on an express train to busan , passengers on board must fight for their own survival .
yeon’s eventual surrender to such cartoonish imagery may be unsurprising given his background in animation ( this is his first live - action feature ) , but “train to busan” is easily his least realistic film . this one is pitched for the big houses and the cheap seats , betraying the bitter streaks of humanism that made previous work like “the fake” and “the king of pigs” feel so unflinchingly real . “train to busan” preaches that equality is the key to survival , but yeon doesn’t do the rest of us any favors by sacrificing the very things that make him special .
when people mention asian horror , they think of japan . but korean horror tales are truly frightening and i hope ' train to busan ' will make the world realise that our local movies are just as scary - or even better .

also earning five nominations – though not for best film , script or best director – was korea’s pan - asian hit “ train to busan . ” other commercial hits , japan’s “your name , ” “the mermaid” and “operation mekong” only secured one nomination each .
he also reportedly added that the
train to busan 2
storyline will most probably be revolving around gong yoo ' s seok woo character . the movie will further explore the possibility of bringing the dead back to life , i . e . discovering a cure for the growing zombie dominance .
this is not a scene from the upcoming the girl on the train . this is what happens when muggles try to board hogwarts express .
seok - woo is divorced , and his job leaves him unable to devote barely any time to his young daughter , su - an . for her birthday , su - an wants nothing more than to take the train from seoul to her mother’s home 280 miles away in busan . convinced , seok - woo takes off from work to accompany her on what very well may be the last train ride either of them take . shortly after they depart from seoul , reports of riots and mass chaos throughout the country begin to flicker through , before communication becomes entirely cut off . soon , some sort of virus begins to spread from passenger to passenger , quickly filling the train with bloodthirsty zombies that begin to kill those on board . now , seok - woo , su - an , and a motley crew of surviving passengers must do their best to fend off the zombie horde as the train careens toward busan , where the end of the line may only be the beginning . . . ifit’s still there at all
equally terrifying is the infection and the rate at which it spreads rapidly between those unlucky enough to be trapped onboard as the high - speed train races to its final destination .
ambivalence usually splits public reaction in times like this . on the one hand , train to busan provides a pretty solid square one for another film to work with , and a remake would probably guide more eyeballs to the original . on the other , a perfectly good train to busan already exists , and the necessity of a re - do without subtitles is rather suspect . but as long as the filmmakers tapped for this new production bring something of their own to the table instead of re - staging all the original’s set pieces , there may be hope for this yet . take a look at the trailer for the original below :
train to busan was produced by redpeter film and opened though new this year , when it generated 11 , 565 , 459 admissions and the equivalent of $ 83 . 5m at the local box office according to the korean film council to become the biggest local hit of the year . it currently ranks as south korea’s ninth biggest hit .
in fact , almost every speaking character in the motley train crew has a solid base , and it’s easy to root for them . they fight through the train but have palpable struggles , in a fashion reminiscent of snowpiercer with less fantastical elements .
danny lee and vincent kim at contents panda , in charge of international sales and distribution of train to busan , negotiated the deal with cecile gaget , gaumont ' s head of international production and distribution . gaumont was among a number of studios that the hollywood reporter exclusively reported to be pursuing the deal .
this collection of random types goes all aboard a fast train from seoul to busan one fine morning , just as the signs of a zombie outbreak are starting to show : convoys of emergency response vehicles rushing past the protagonists , fires and muffled explosions in the distance , an eerie quiet over the city .
take the poseidon adventure . put it on a train . add yer zombie apocalypse . stir . alright .
“what i liked was seeing people become heroes and villains within that single train ride , ” said khatijah .
starring gong yoo ( coffee prince , 2007 ) as a workaholic fund manager who travels with his daughter by train from seoul to busan on her birthday , their journey soon descends into chaos when there is an outbreak of a virus that turns the passengers into crazed zombies .
train to busan makes the wise decision to have its plot be driven by its characters and not the other way around . as straightforward as the premise is ( a distant father takes his daughter to visit her mother , his estranged wife , while a zombie outbreak threatens to overrun their train ) , it’s the interactions between the characters and the relationships they forge , and not , as one would expect , the rampage raging outside ( and two coaches over ) , that makes this film so special .
kim eui - sung and ma dong - seok were the highlight of train to busan for me . this is a well deserved award . he was so real and i can ' t help but think of the sewol ferry tragedy . he is that kind of ceo that we don ' t get to see .
the thriller is set on a bullet train travelling from seoul to busan . on board are a variety of characters , including a workaholic and his daughter , a group of young baseball players , a couple expecting their first child and two elderly sisters . and there happens to be a passenger infected by a virus .
here’s a south korean zombie tale that’s almost in the vein of last year’s touching father - daughter drama maggie . “almost” , because while this story will also gnaw at your heart rather than just your gut , train to busan has more of world war z in its dna .
as reported by soompi , gong yoo even confirmed with the media that he will be reprising his role as seok woo in the
train to busan 2 .
in the last movie , that character appeared to have turned into a zombie . therefore , it is safe to assume that he will return as a zombie too , in the upcoming sequel .
all of that begins to change when seok - woo retrieves the girl for a birthday trip to visit her mother ( she must be some kind of monster not to get custody in this situation ) and they take an early morning train — oblivious to the threatening imagery on the periphery of yeon’s compositions . the last person to board the high - speed ktx train is a girl with a curious bite on her leg .
according to a new report from the hollywood reporter , french movie studio gaumont has picked up the u . s . remake rights to
train to busan
after a bidding war . given that the film was seen by over 11 million people in korea and was sold to over 150 territories , it ' s no surprise that nabbing the remake rights was a high priority of many movie studios .
zombie thriller , “train to busan” set multiple box office records in south korea and seems an unstoppable force . officially opening on 1 , 785 screens on wednesday , “train” earned $ 34 . 3 million from 4 . 75 million admissions over its opening five day run . that represented 75 % of the total weekend box office . including $ 4 . 29 million from the previous week’s [ … ]

yoo gong stars as a mutual fund manager reluctantly taking his daughter ( soo - an kim in a gut - wrenching performance ) by train to live with his estranged wife . trouble starts as soon as the train departs , with passengers rapidly succumbing to a growing zombie plague , and accelerates to a stunning climax that leaves viewers breathless and emotionally drained .
workaholic fund manager seok - wu ( gong yoo ) takes his estranged young daughter su - an ( kim su - an ) on the ktx high - speed train to busan to visit his ex - wife . the last person to hop on is a teenage girl whose bare thighs are crisscrossed with bulging veins . yet , passengers and train crew get more alarmed over a homeless man hiding out in the washroom — one of the film’s frequent barbed comments on snobbery in korean society .
yes , jeer . because , like all good walking / running / commuting dead efforts , train to busan reminds us that , aside from the everpresent threat of the infected , it’s regular people who will do anything to survive – anything , including sacrificing their fellow passengers to buy a few extra seconds of safety – that constitute the most insidious , unexpected and heartless threats .
the fact that yeon made a film with a theme that could be very unfamiliar to korean audiences is extremely fascinating . that is the part that i like the most about this film ,
said actor gong yoo , who plays one of the lead roles in the film
train to busan
to be released july 20 , as a fund manager dad who tries to protect his young daughter from the zombies .
best supporting actor kim eui - sung ( train to busan ) is having a stellar year . he said in his acceptance speech , “i’ve worked many kinds of jobs , but there’s nothing better than being an actor . i get paid to do something this fun , and now i even get an award for it—it’s incredible . ” aww .

sok - woo , a father with not much time for his daughter , soo - ahn , are boarding the ktx , a fast train that shall bring them from seoul to busan . but during their journey , the apocalypse begins , and most of the earth ' s population become flesh craving zombies . while the ktx is shooting towards busan , the passenger ' s fight for their families and lives against the zombies - and each other .
great movie ! especially for gong yoo and kim soo ahn really make me can ' t stop to cry . gong yoo oppa , you are really great actor . kim soo ahn , you will be a great actress . i believe about that . pd nim and all crew train to busan , thank you very much for the great movie !
tv screens on board the train also inform passengers what’s happening in different parts of the country as the government claims to have everything under control . martial law is in place , and the public is asked to refrain from spreading rumours – an apparent reference to the response to mers in 2015 .
after the near - perfect first hour of “train to busan , ” the film slows its progress and makes a few stops that feel repetitive , but the journey recovers nicely for a memorable finale . you could call it “train of the living dead” or “ ' snowpiercer ' with zombies . ” whatever you call it , if it’s playing in your city and you’ve ever been entertained by a zombie movie , it’s hard to believe you wouldn’t be entertained by this one .
if nothing else train to busan is a high - octane chase movie , a race against time to save not only people but also their very souls from rampant consumerism . when the high tech ktx train can’t make the final journey a trusty , working class diesel locomotive is sought to finish the job in a teeth clenching set piece . just like in the korean war the back breaking and dangerous physical work of the soldier , the farmer and the factory worker and not a smart phone in sight saved the nation .
train to busan is largely set on board the express , but as it is forced to make stops along the way , yeon gets an opportunity to move to grander set - pieces , including aerial shots which give context to the scale of the outbreak . many of these exterior scenes are more reliant on cgi , which is ironically where the film starts to lose steam . the cgi itself is competent and creative in places , but ultimately , the film works best when the passengers are on board battling it out for survival .
before this takes place , the film introduces one of the main characters seok - woo ( gong yoo ) , an affluent fund manager who cares more about his job than his daughter su - an ( kim su - ran ) who wants to go to busan to see her mother for her birthday . he reluctantly agrees to take her to his ex - wife , hoping to be back in seoul by lunchtime . they board the train , and not long after it departs , the virus begins to run through sections of the carriages after which it’s a race for survival .
american novelist marianne wiggins wrote : “what thrills me about trains is not their size or their equipment but the fact that they are moving , that they embody a connection between unseen places . ” train to busan unites the classes divided by wealth and education as well as over six decades between past and present . when a soldier decides whether or not a silhouette in a tunnel is a person or not , the scene is reminiscent of cross of iron , when a simple act of humanity could be the difference between salvation and damnation . as bloody and visceral as train to busan is , we find hope in the former .
no one transforms b - movies into high art quite like the koreans . it’s a careless generalisation to make , but nonetheless , quite an accurate one . and if they keep producing films like train to busan , which has been generating consistent buzz since its midnight premiere at this year’s cannes film festival , it is a generalisation i will proudly keep making .
when it comes to zombie , you have two choices : fast or slow . the train to busan zombies are fast ones , resurrecting in flailing almost - break - dancing movements and lunging at the nearest victim . the film does have one undead twist : these zombies are sight driven . if a coat is thrown on their head , or a widow covered with newspapers , they stop moving . this leads to some great scenes when the train goes through a tunnel , blinding the zombies into inactivity while the heroes sneak by .

when
train to busan
initially released , not many expected it to be as big a hit it turned out to be . however , the movie has managed to bring the prevailing assumption and is reportedly coming back in the form a sequel . as far as the cast of the movie is concerned , there were many reports that claimed that the
goblin
actor gong yoo was to be replaced in the upcoming movie . however , a new rumor claims that he will indeed return .
the star ’s movie reviewer davin arul wrote : “director yeon sang - ho makes full use of the cramped confines of train coaches to evoke maximum thrills and suspense . ”
as a zombie outbreak sweeps the country , a dad and his daughter take a harrowing train journey in an attempt to reach the only city that ' s still safe .
seok - woo is a workaholic fund manager with tom cruise hair and an inconvenient daughter , su - an , who desperately wants her dad to take notice of her on her birthday . his ex - wife lives in busan , one of two cities not to be occupied by the north during the first phase of the korean war and defended by un troops who set up a the pusan perimeter in 1950 . busan has always been a beacon of hope , one of the busiest seaports in the world and a gateway to japan . su - an is unimpressed by her sporadic father and wants to board a ktx train to see her estranged mother .
blood , brains and mayhem all feature prominently as hordes of zombies devour unfortunate passengers trapped on board a bullet train from seoul .
for almost 45 minutes , yeon sang - ho ’s “ train to busan ” is on pace to become the best , most urgent zombie movie since “28 days later . ” and then — at once both figuratively and literally — this broad korean blockbuster derails in slow - motion , sliding off the tracks and bursting into a hot mess of generic moments and digital fire .
seok - woo ( gong yoo ) is a fund manager in seoul . he is separated from his wife and lives with his daughter soo - an ( kim soo - ahn ) . seok - woo doesn ' t spend much time with his daughter or show affection to her . on the night before soo - an ' s birthday , soo - an insists on seeing her mother for her birthday . seok - woo has no other choice , but to take her to busan . early the next morning , they board the ktx train for busan at seoul station .
the only passenger to receive special attention , however , is the homeless man in the bathroom . all zombie movies need a social conscience , and “train to busan” is nominally devoted to the subject of economic discrimination . survival isn’t possible , as seok - woo soon learns , when the rich think only for themselves , and it’s telling that the ktx crew is so preoccupied with removing the poor stowaway that they fail to notice when a young girl starts eating the paying customers .
following a motley crew on a bumpy ride from seoul to busan to escape a zombie outbreak , writer - director yeon sang - ho ’s action - horror railroad movie “ train to busan ” pulses with relentless locomotive momentum . as an allegory of class rebellion and moral polarization , it proves just as biting as bong joon - ho’s sci - fi dystopia “snowpiercer , ” while delivering even more unpretentious fun . yeon has displayed recognizably cinematic sensibilities in his last three indie anime features — “king of pigs , ” “fake” and “seoul station” — so it’s not surprising that he transitions easily into live - action , though his scathing , nihilistic vision of humanity is watered down for wider mainstream appeal . buyers for asian - friendly genre products should clamber to board “train . ”
reviewed at cannes film festival ( midnight ) , may 13 , 2016 . running time : 118 min . ( original title :

)
hit korean zombie film “train to busan” will be remade in english by french studio gaumont . the deal was unveiled wednesday jointly by gaumont and the film’s korean distributor - financier next entertainment world . the film premiered in the midnight screening section of the cannes festival in may and attracted immediate sales and remake interest . fox and [ … ]
the claustrophobic tension of “train to busan” is amplified after a brilliantly staged sequence in a train station in which our surviving travelers learn that the entire country has gone brain - hungry . they discover that the undead can’t quite figure out door handles and are mostly blind , so tunnels and lines of sight become essential . sang - ho also keeps up his social commentary , giving us characters who want to do anything to survive , and others who will do what it takes to save others . early in the film , seok - woo tells his daughter , “at a time like this , only watch out for yourself , ” but he learns that this isn’t the advice we should live by or pass down to our children . without spoiling anything , the survivors of “train to busan” are only so lucky because of the sacrifice of others . and the film is thematically stronger than your average zombie flick in the way it captures how panic can make monsters of us all , and it is our responsibility to overcome that base instinct in times of crisis .
but oh , those first 45 minutes : they’re genre heaven ( or the undead equivalent ) . equal parts “snowpiercer” and “world war z , ” the film introduces itself as the rare pastiche with enough personality to feel like something new . a sequel of sorts to yeon’s “seoul station , ” which received limited festival play and never received u . s . distribution , “train to busan” unwraps its premise so elegantly that no prior knowledge is required to get swept along by its opening act .
we open with a truck driving through a biochemical quarantine zone ( “tiny leak , my arse” ) and hitting a deer that promptly springs back to life with milky malice in its eyes . meanwhile , divorced fund manager seok - woo ( gong yoo ) scans news reports of “mysterious fish death” . he is too tied up with a big business deal to attend his daughter’s singing recital , while all young su - an ( kim su - an ) wants for her birthday is to visit her mother in busan , a request to which seok - woo grudgingly accedes . but as father and daughter board the high - speed ktx train from seoul to busan , so too does a wildfire plague that will give new meaning to the phrase “passenger disturbance” .
basically the story of a man forced to finally see the injustice around him . riley’s movie is designed to do the same thing to you . …
i even have a friend who loved it because she takes the same train every time she goes home ,
said mr hahn .
as the train leaves the station , we catch glimpses of the unfolding infection mostly missed by the passengers due to their prejudice , or their own zombification , which occurs through their obsession with social media . when the outbreak hits the train it spreads like wild fire , the zombies cracking sinew and bones as a weird concoction of rigor mortis and athletic prowess turns them into ruthlessly effective killing machines . like snowpiercer before it , train to busan is a film about doors and separation , a closed society that is terrified of breaking conventions , the body politic scared of their own reflection . when the passengers flee between the carriages we see just how dysfunctional south korean society really is .
zombie - movie purists mighty scoff at the usual cliches and a general lack of gore . but while “train to busan” doesn’t redefine the genre , it does stand as the best zombie film since “28 days later” and maybe even the original “night of the living dead . ” it ' s for those who want gut - wrenching , not just guts .
as the outside world and a substantial portion of the train is consumed by chaos , the safest place to hide is in one coach . the claustrophobia gives the film an almost hitchcockian edge , despite the frequent scenes of carnage , and brings to mind the brilliant canadian zombie film pontypool ( set in the confines of a radio booth ) and the british series dead set ( the big brother house ) . its complete disregard for zombie rules aside ( it’s more world war z than shaun of the dead ) , what elevates train to busan is the sheer skill with which it is made .

today , as i watch dil se again , i am left with goose bumps . i am left wondering how poignant and relevant the film is as the world all over is erupting in violence against oppressors and tormentors . as love and innocence is lost from the lives of millions and the count of the internally displaced rises across nations , dil se and its cry for peace ring all the more closer to home . after the disastrous raavan , one wished ratnam would return to telling stories he believed in , without giving in to market forces , effortlessly traversing the commercial and parallel cinematic worlds as he has in the past . one wished he would tell another story , “dil se” .
„dil se is said to be a journey through the 7 shades of love that are defined in ancient arabic literature . those shades are defined as attraction , infatuation , love , reverence , worship , obsession , and death . “
ratnam’s pet themes of the politics of love found a very pained anguished voice in dil se – a voice that was embellished stupendously by ratnam’s trusted rahman . the combination of ratnam and rahman have over the years given us magical haunting melodies ( roja , bombay , guru and yuva to name a few ) . with dil se , the duo created magic yet again . soulful renditions that spoke of love and longing brought to life the unsaid subtexts of the story .

director ratnam , known to hindi audiences for heady mix of love and strife in his earlier films , chose a stark and dark palate to tell his story this time . much like roja and bombay , circumstances separate the lovers in dil se . yet , unlike his earlier outings , dil se depicts a love that doesn’t find a happy ending . a love story that is doomed from the word go . perhaps this is what led the audiences to reject the film so vehemently .
interestingly , it ' s mani ratnam ' s dil se , released in tamil as uyire in 1998 , which ventured into showing the other perspective , making a reference to kunan poshpora where the indian army has been accused of mass gangrape .
overall , dil se is a powerful work of cinematic art that certainly deserves more attention than it has received during the last decade and a half . many indian critics had described it as a failure at the time of the release but the fact remains that considering the general trend of filmmaking in the ‘90s , dil se was actually well ahead of its time . also , the movie’s devastating ending didn’t go well with most indian viewers . however , the film was quite successful internationally . not only did it win the netpac award at the 1999 berlin international film festival but also went on to become the first indian film to enter the top 10 in the uk box office charts . dil se is technically brilliant and aesthetically beautiful :

a commercial failure in the domestic markets , ratnam’s dil se is the story of amarkant ( shah rukh khan ) an air reporter who meets meghna ( played by an ethereal manisha koirala ) , a terrorist suicide bomber out to kill the president of india on the republic day .
dil se re the title track in rahman’s early voice ( when it did justice to the song ) with anuradha sriram , anupama and febi mani backing him on chorus is indubitably what rahman excels at – a rock song at heart throbbing with a searing intensity hard to ignore .

a mention of dil se would also be incomplete without mentioning the amazing lyrics that academy award winner gulzar has embellished the soundtrack with . be it jiya jale , dil se re or the mystical satrangi re , every song is a stand alone piece of poetry , which at the same time blends effortlessly into the films mood and theme . perhaps gulzar’s best work in recent times , the soundtrack here is an example of how magic is created in verses . the lyrical quality of the film also extends into santosh sivan’s mastery with the camera . the opening shot of srk and manisha in a deserted railway station at night , or the angles in the ae ajnabi song , sivan works his magic brilliantly . for a movie where much of the first half is a mix of images and montages , sivan takes the narrative forward with his deft camera work . in the second half of dil se , it is sivan’s camera work alone that keeps one glued to the screen in the midst of elaborate talkie portions between the characters on screen . sivan in dil se manages to bring a fluidity to images in hindi cinema - a feat rarely repeated hence .

dil se is a deliciously layered concoction topped with the common theme of love – shah rukh’s love for this mysterious lady whom he is constantly trying to deconstruct while she escapes a definition till the very end of the story , or meghna who is torn between her love for her cause , her people and shah rukh . a subtle undercurrent is the issue of love for your motherland – dealing with issues of sedition , rebelling against the system and terrorism . traversing the cold climes of ladakh , kashmir and delhi mostly , dil se tells an unhappy tale through tough and painful imagery .

a shekhar kapur , ramgopal varma , mani ratnam production , with musical input by gulzar and a . r . rahman . a case of too many great chefs spoiling the broth ? not at all dear listeners . dil se . . is mani ratnam ' s first official hindi venture , starring some of the most talented stars today ( shahrukh khan , manisha koirala and newcomer preity zinta ) . like rahman ' s previous musical landmarks , the songs of dil se flow out of the soundtrack in epic proportions . in parts , typically rahmanesque and in parts , typically ( for rahman ) innovative . gulzar supports with simple , none too complex lyrics .
vital signs ' first real taste of success was
dil dil pakistan
in 1987 . it instantly became the song that was on everyone ' s lips , a kind of pop national anthem . next was their debut album : vital signs , released in 1989 it produced several hits including gori , yeh shaam and samjana .
usually , i can break down and analyze every mani ratnam film , say why i liked it , why i didnt . dil se is one of those that i love , that i’ve seen several times , and while there’s plenty to hate about it , i can never quite figure out why i love this film so much .
thanks for your lovely comment seetha ! ! i ' m always thrilled to find other people who love dil se - and how could one not love it , when one has seen it ? ! i agree with everything you said here , it ' s a truly haunting movie . and i love that part before the intermission !
the film ' s title song
dil se re
is rendered by a . r . rahman himself , with harmonic support from anuradha ( not paudwal ) and anupama . rahman interestingly sounds like kumar sanu in parts of the song which informs of all the internal turmoil a human visits when something / someone touches the heart .
dil se is a 1998 hindi romantic , drama film , directed by mani ratnam and produced by india talkies . this film stars shahrukh khan , manisha koirala , preity zinta , raghuvir yadav , zohra sehgal in the lead role . the films soundtrack and background score were composed by a . r . rahman with lyrics by gulzar .
2 ) ' dil se ' is said to be a journey through the 7 shades of love that are defined in ancient arabic literature . those shades are defined as attraction , infatuation , love , reverence , worship , obsession , and death . the character played by shahrukh khan passes through each shade during the course of the film .
rahman has certainly done enough . among his top ten soundtracks in hindi films are roja , bombay , rangeela , taal , lagaan , rang de basanti , guru , delhi - 6 , slumdog millionaire and rockstar . but none of these soundtracks has an all - songs hit rate like dil se . there are no highs and lows with dil se , no dips and crescendos . all the songs are trailblazing masterpieces in terms of musical arrangements and the poetic lyrics by way of gulzar , all set by director mani ratnam to fabulous visuals . ratnam was inspired to shoot the songs in the most trying conditions – atop a train or even a precariously lodged monastery in ladakh .
in november 2015 , director wajahat rauf announced that there will be a spin - off film of karachi se lahore scheduled to be release in 2016 . he said :
this will be more of a romantic - comedy and will follow the adventures of a young couple . it is set right after the events of karachi se lahore .
another facet of ratnam that dil se exemplifies is his knack of getting out actors buried deep down stars . shah rukh khan , the king of bollywood , has very few performances that he would be remembered for . dil se is one of them . as a lover puzzled , confused and tormented by his lady , srk excels brilliantly , going much beyond his usual stammer and stretched hands , to deliver a career milestone of a performance . a huge credit to this does go to ratnam , for seldom have we seen the same srk again on screen with as much conviction and power . aishwarya rai , abhishek bachchan are the other two stars who owe a lot to the director for giving them opportunities to showcase the actors in them . manisha koirala , whom ratnam put right in the midst of all time performers and not just stars of hindi cinema with bombay , gave another nuanced turn in dil se . pure as a dew drop , timid as a doe , yet stern and determined as a tigress on the prowl , she is scintillating as meghna .
destined to be a classic , dil se is a truly brilliant beautiful film by mani ratnam , a creative genius and one of the greatest living film directors – and not just in india . ratnam is right up there with the all time best : michelangelo antonioni’s the red desert , bernado bertolucci’s the conformist , and francois truffaut’s the four hundred blows .
dil se is a film i didn´t know what to think about when i first saw it around this time last year . i thought the story was extremely powerful and performances just pure amazing , but shahrukh´s changing of character throughout the film did not make much sense - up until i read all those philosophic characterizations ( one of them you have in this article as well ) and only then it all fell wonderfully in place . however i was let down by the music and the picturizations of the songs seemed plain weird - but considering it´s rahman etc i´ll give it another chance . i appreciate dil se more from a retrospective . it is one of the films that need to be seen more times .
rediscovered by film buffs and connoisseurs , films like lamhe and agneepath find a new lease of life , while others wait for that fortunate time in history when their stars would shine . mani ratnam’s dil se ( 1998 ) is one such brilliant cinematic gem that is crying to be rediscovered and feted , more importantly , waiting for its story to be heard .
your description of this gem is as good , if not better , as the film itself ! it ' s been decades since this masterpiece was crafted yet its magic , innocence , vulnerability . . . class is unparalleled . this is what srk is capable of when it comes to romance . this is what romance is . this is what being ahead of its time means . dil se . . . is like old wine . the more time elapses , the better it looks . nothing comes closer to the experience that dil se was . only imtiaz ali in my opinion , can come closer to mani ratnam in terms of depicting romance . i wish i could see more of such films then and now !
i have been an srk fan for as long as i can remember . i have never adored any other actor as much as i adore him . though srk ' s success is measured in terms of his high grossing movies like ddlj , kkhh , kank , kal ho na ho , ( the list goes on . . . ) , and though i have seen these more times than i can count , i somehow feel dil se was probably his best work as an actor . i feel a different connection to this movie that i cant explain . the performances were absolutely incredible . the music was top notch with rehman at his best . dil se definitely deserved a lot more accolade than what it got .
dil se ( from the heart ) ( 1998 ) takes another look at one of ratnahm ' s favorite themes - the uneasy mix of love and politics . boy meets girl , boy loses girl - with a twist . she is a member of a terrorist organization ; he is a journalist looking for an interview with the terrorist leader . what makes dil se so remarkable is
chaiyya chaiyya ,
one of the most exhilarating musical sequences in all of cinema , in which the romantic leads dance on top of an actual moving train that winds precariously along a mountain path . if anyone were to ask me what ' s so special about bollywood , and about mani ratnam , i ' d play them this scene .
the dil se program led to the formation of various community based groups such as self help groups ( shgs ) adolescent groups and women’s co - operatives . it became a platform wherein the community women discussed on social issues , health and hygiene and issues concerning the development of the village . the groups also started playing an active role in spreading awareness in the village .
mani ratnam masterfully weaves an unforgettable tale of love in the backdrop of terrorism . a . r . rahman ' s haunting background music ( dil se love theme , in particular ) and santosh sivan ' s startling cinematography beautifully add to the movie ' s overall poignant tone . the dance sequences imaginatively choreographed by farah khan and the exotic shooting locations simply transcend the viewer to a world of sufi romanticism and urdu poetry . and , of course , the sizzling romance between shah rukh khan and manisha koirala tugs straight at the heartstrings . then there is the popular number
chaiyya chaiyya
that is filmed on the roof of a moving train . one can ' t really ask for more ! dil se is simply an essential watch .
it has been 17 years since mani ratnam ' s romantic - thriller released . ' dil se ' starring shah rukh khan and manisha koirala had a backdrop of terrorism and insurgency , beautifully weaved into a tragic love story . the intense political agenda of the film , the love story and the fact that it coincided with the 50th independence anniversary celebrations became a major factor for its success .
having finished the list , there was suddenly no other movie i could imagine , that could be my favorite . the thought surprised , even unsettled me - after all , i hadn ' t actually seen dil se . . for about two years . it was time to finally re - watch it with eyes that are quite different from the ones of my 13 - year old predecessor .
the acting in the last scene of dil se is something i will never forget . shahrukh khan’s volcanic presence often seems to bring out the best in the other actors . manisha koirala was awesome - perfect as the no - make - up mountain village girl . it takes a lot of confidence for a beautiful woman to allow herself to be photographed with so much pain written in her face .
dil se is a 1998 hindi film directed by mani ratnam . the film stars shahrukh khan and manisha koirala in lead roles while the debutant preity zinta appears in a supporting role . mani ratnam also co - wrote the screenplay for the film . it is the third in ratnam ' s trilogy of terror films that depict human relationships against a background of indian politics and military , after roja and bombay .
loved how u have captured all the nitty gritties here . . it made excellent reading . . dil - se is indeed one of my favourite movies . . it had everything going for it . . . mani ratnam , gulzar , rahman , santosh sivan all the best in the respective fields . . i remember how preity asking sharukh if he was a virgin was one of the talking ponts in the media . .
as with most mani ratnam films , the plot isn ' t simply a love story . dil se is also about idealism and the birth of the terrorist - - simplified to a great extent , but neatly executed . ratnam uses ' passion ' as his keyword , exploring it on various ( occasionally obvious ) levels . his protagonist is a smart man , bewildered by the onset of great emotion , but well grounded in nationalistic fervour .

i found that haunting echo . . . . a bgm sung by sukhwinder singh . . . it comes when manisha leaves him in ladakh . . . before intermission . i get goosebumps hearing it . . . i think it goes like this ,
kinare ke aage jahaan aur bhi hai . . . sitaaron ke aage jahaan aur bhi hai . . . abhi ishq ke imtihaan aur bhi hai
dil se keeps haunting . . . .
i did something magical last night . i saw dil se . . after 15 years . when i saw it in 1998 , i was merely 11 years old and all i understood about the movie was its songs , music and amar ' s undying love for meghna . now , when i saw it again with maturity of a 25 year old , i am spellbound . i have never seen anything so beautiful . the reason i again decided to see it again was because deep inside i knew that there was something special about this movie and i let all my teen years and early 20 ' s go away just to get matured enough to appreciate it . i think dil se . . is a movie that demands time from audience to appreciate it . that is one reason , that after so many years till date , people still are trying to understand the lvoe and tragedy behind it . this in itself is a beautiful phenomena . i loved your pose . you ' ve covered almost everything about this movie that we all love . what stands out for me is the first scene ( train station ) when amar runs to get tea for her and the last scene when they both are in arms . it completes a circle . great job mette . always great to connect with like - minded human beings around . thanks dil se . .
this is ratnam ' s third film in his terrorism trilogy , so to speak - - after roja and bombay . while the first two were arguably more credible films , the director has certainly improved with each go , as a filmmaker . dil se is not as touching as roja , or as intense as bombay . it is , however , a better - made film , by a director using his craft to tell a rather stupendous love story .
now widely considered a classic , dil se despite doing well in the overseas markets had failed to woo the indian audiences . till date it remains shah rukh khan ' s most mature work . his devastating portrayal of an all india radio programme executive madly in love of a mystical beauty , whom he knows can never be his , carries the hallmark of an actor working at the height of his powers . no wonder khan became the nation ' s heartthrob in the ' 90s in spite of doing some highly unconventional movies like darr , baazigar , anjaam , kabhi haan kabhi naa , etc . although he has only grown in stature since then , his later performances certainly pale in comparison to dil se . post mid - 2000s , he has been coming across as a spent force and his most recent performances have been utterly disappointing to say the least . dil se turned out to be a particularly challenging film for both shah rukh khan and mani ratnam since the former didn’t speak tamil and the latter didn’t know hindi . so , they had to contend with the difficulty of communicating in a phonetically alien language like english . it is for this reason that mani ratnam relied upon three scripts—one in hindi , one in english , and another one in tamil . it certainly must have been a daunting task but the actor - director duo managed to pull it off .
i saw roja a while ago , but i felt it lacked some of the heart that dil se has . it was a bit too on - the - beaten - track , and the actors were not just as good as these . chaiyya chaiyya is just so timeless , and i completely understand how it could get so famous . i ' m glad you liked the post , even though you ' re not really into the movie , sdg .
this year has proved to be very special for pakistan because on this 70 th anniversary almost everyone is making their effort to put forward their best possible song and for all of this trend the credit goes to coke studio for starting it with their national anthem and then the minorities and now haroon has remarked the song that we all love “dil se” featuring javed bashir who is one of the best vocalists of the nation and the truly inspirational muniba mazari .
on the whole , dil se . . the album is not an experience to be missed . let us take the opportunity to officially welcome mani ratnam ( and the impressive board of the india talkies production house ) to bollywood film - making . as we eagerly anticipate the release of this movie , enjoy the album . the experience can be likened to the invitation of the film ' s best song ;
come bask in the shadow of love
.
hi mette : to start with , i must say you are a discreet movie goer . pure vetting of a movie with clinical precision . . i was amazed to see your post . your point no 28 from your list caught my eye . are you a diehard fan of mani sir . have you watched all of his movies . would love to see your thoughts on that . i will return to your blog very soon . . for now , bye , dil se .
the devastating climax offers a perfect closure to their heart - breaking romance . khan and koirala are well supported by the rest of the cast . credit to mani ratnam for eliciting memorable performances from not only his leading actors but also from the movie’s supporting cast well led by the debutante preity zinta who shares some memorable moments with shah rukh khan , especially during the beautifully filmed song
jiya jale
. alas , all great tales of love are essentially tragedies ! dil se is no different .
the songs in dil se are more like lyrical poetry with delectable references to the flowery verses of ghalib ( ishq par zor nahin hai yeh woh aatish… ) and iqbal ( sitaron se agay jahan aur bhi hain… ) . but the poetic feel is not merely limited to songs , for the film in itself has an inherent poetic quality : be it santosh sivan’s cinematography , or tigmanshu dhulia’s dialogues , or farah khan’s choreography or a . r . rahman’s music . it is the interplay between the elements of drama and poetry that lifts dil se beyond the usual limits of an ordinary tale of love . the subtle and hitherto segregated dramatic and poetical elements are all unleashed in unison when in leh a hysterical amar encounters meghna and confronts her for inflicting tremendous emotional and physical pain ( for getting him brutally beaten up back in silchar ) on him . here , shah rukh khan and manisha koirala share some very high intensity scenes seldom seen in hindi films . in one of the scenes amar , in a rush of madness , forces himself on to meghna , causing her to have a panic attack . later on , during an intensively poetic scene , amar reveals that he both loves and hates meghna ' s mystical eyes because he is unable to see the world hidden behind them .
i wish dil se had been an alls well that ends well kind of movie . i can ' t bear to see my two most loved stars ever die at the end . i wish shah rukh had learnt manisha was a terrorist at the ladakh convent and requested the buddhist monk to help the poor girl get some peace and wish he had married them off and they had lived happily . . . he did silly movies with other heroines where they live on happily why a tragic death climax with manisha ?
