The first thing an actor looks for in a movie he wants to do is the 'script'. And if the script is not strong in itself, it can not allure a good actor to go for that. If not strong, then at least it should be original and should have something concrete in it.

Unfortunately, the movie Haal-e-Dil failed tbring any substantial concept to the surface.

Even as the movie images a love triangle boasting of outstanding tasks and deeds, it ended up being a low profile copied version with stolen scenes from various hit blockbusters like DDLJ and Jab V Met.

The heroine Amita is entangled between her perfect love with whom she is already in a harmonious relationship and a perfect stranger for whom she falls. Adhyayan looks cute and Nakul Mehta plays well a flirt whose eyes are glued at every second girl who passes by.

Amita has a bit mature countenance for the role she is stuffed into. Actually, she plays the dream girl of a lover boy and thus fails to charm the fantasy of the viewers.

One wonders how a director like Anil Devgan could give his sanction to the script. The movie, in short does not serve any fleshy stuff but a hollow bone piece. Moreover, it has risked the career of three debutant actors for whom the movie holds a big deal.
