It tells the story of an influential widow Sarita-ji (Rekha), who has everything ? wealth, power, political acumen and two lovely daughters, Shalu (Preity Zinta) and Nimmi (Mahima Chaudhary).
It tells the story of two sisters who are dramatically different from each other, yet totally devoted to each other. While Shalu is spirited and full of mischief, Nimmi is feminine and gentle.
Shalu makes friends wherever she goes and nobody is immune to her spontaneous vivacity. Yet, for Sarita-ji, this lovely child is a thorn embedded in her heart. She smothers the quiet Nimmi with her love, while ignoring and undermining poor Shalu.
Enter Dev (Arjun Rampal), the sophisticated Harvard-returned son of a business tycoon (Alok Nath), who comes to close down the factory that is the lifeline of the local people and ends up becoming their saviour.
There's Samir (Jimmy Shergil), an ace ventriloquist, who can express his feelings only through his craft. And when he finally finds his voice, he discovers it's too late.
DIL HAI TUMHAARA is about a vivacious girl who has two wonderful men vying for her love, while all she yearns for is her mother's love.
This is not the first time that we have witnessed a theme on such relationships. Two men (Arjun, Jimmy) falling in love with the same girl (Preity) have been witnessed umpteen times in the past. Ditto for two sisters (Mahima, Preity) falling for the same guy (Arjun). But what makes DIL HAI TUMHAARA different is the way the age-old plot has been handled.
The initial reels set the ball rolling. After establishing the plot and the main characters, the story then diversifies to the two sisters (Mahima, Preity), the men (Arjun, Jimmy) in their lives, the factory issue, the villains?
It is only towards the interval point that the story actually picks up from where it began. If light moments (a few interesting, a couple of them mind-numbing!) dominate the first half, the second half tilts towards drama and emotions. And the drama is maintained right till the finale.
