Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Nisha (Karisma Kapoor) is in love with her old friend Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan), the director of the dance troupe she works in, but Rahul doesn't believe in love, until he falls for Pooja (Madhuri Dixit), an orphan engaged to childhood friend Ajay (Akshay Kumar, in a guest appearance). Much angst, and singing and dancing, ensues...Made in 1997, Dil To Pagal Hai ("The Heart is Crazy") was a runaway hit, with the songs and the performances of the main actors being highly praised. Considered a must-see among many Bollywood fans, largely on account of the pairing, or "jodi," of Shah Rukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit, two extremely popular stars who rarely work together.

All Love Is Unrequited
 Dil To Pagal Hai / int_7a82c3d2
comment
All Love Is Unrequited: Rahul and Nisha have a conversation in the third act in which they basically say this outright, with Nisha heartbroken over Rahul and angry at herself for being unable to be happy for him, and Rahul pining after Pooja and angry that he can't just love Nisha instead. Ultimately subverted, though.

All-Star Cast: Shahrukh and Madhuri were and are considered to be superstars, and Karisma Kapoor and Akshay Kumar would have been at least A-list or upper B-list stars at the time as well.

Almost Kiss: One of the most memorable scenes from the movie revolves around this trope. Rahul has Pooja's bangle and refuses to give it back until she comes closer... and closer... and closer...

Arranged Marriage

comment
Arranged Marriage: Pooja is all set to marry Ajay so that she can officially be part of her adopted family until she falls in love with Rahul. This trope is somewhat subverted in that while Pooja isn't in love with Ajay and his parents are overjoyed at the prospect, Ajay initiated the whole thing before his parents even found out about it.

Betty and Veronica

comment
Betty and Veronica: Pooja is the sweet, demure Betty who dresses in saris and dreams of true love, while Nisha is the brash, modern Veronica who is generally comfortable wearing and saying what she wants. This even extends to their dance styles. Pooja's style draws more from the ancient classical style of Kathak (which Madhuri Dixit is a trained dancer in), while Nisha primarily dances in more Western-influenced motions.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })
