23 Years of Dil Chahta Hai: Some films remain in the back of the mind, even years after they have been filmed and released. `Dil Chahta Hai`, the comedy-romantic film starring Aamir Khan, Akshaye Khanna, and Saif Ali Khan, which has gained cult status, was one of those movies. It redefined the meaning of friendship, love, and relationships. It was a coming-of-age film reflecting how Bollywood was starting to change and was ready to deal with more challenging and realistic subjects. Even to this date, if you`re embarking on a vacation to Goa, you must watch Dil Chahta Hai; it`s the unspoken rule that many religiously follow.
An important part of the film was shot in Goa, where the characters of the film, Sid, Aakash, and Sameer, went on vacation. The Goa scene solidified their friendship and became a core memory for the boys. A memory that they would reflect on even after falling out. On Saturday, the director of `Dil Chahta Hai` Farhan Akhtar visited the Chapora Fort in Goa after 23 years, where a memorable scene of the film was shot.
