My heart longs for Dil Chahta Hai's friendship, road-trip, college experience once every few years. A must-watch Hindi film and one of the coolest debuts from a star-kid and multi-hyphenate like Farhan Akhtar. Dil Chahta Hai was also the first film to use sync sound in India — and its brooding and emotional score will let you know that they did not need to use ADR (additional dialogue replacement).
