I saw Dil Chahta Hai too. But I must make the following qualification - if you wish to see it - PLEASE see it in a theater with Dolby Digital sound - otherwise you will miss about 90% of the classy sound that the director has so painstakingly striven to capture. 

As everyone should know by now, the debutant director has chosen the most difficult way to record the dialogs - along with the acting - LIVE while shooting. This calls for a lot of patience and dedication as well as adjustments on the part of the actors. 

Coincidentally, this is exactly the way sound was recorded in all of our black and white movies :-). The concept of dubbing is a life saver for the actors of today. They can get away with emoting while mouthing the dialogs and then practising the dialogues hundreds of times while dubbing the sound track - until the best dialog is taken for the final cut. The process of dubbing is one of the things that has changed acting in a movie and has driven scores of our better actors (Nana Patekar, Paresh Rawal etc.) to the stage.

The songs and the music were average - or so I thought - until I realised that they blended in SO WELL with the movie and enhanced the experience so beautifully - that I never noticed them as being distinct and different from the movie! Now when was the last time this happened to me? I recalls Chashme Buddoor - with its idiotic songs that blended in as wel. But, in general, it is a rare occurence.

All in all - a MUST posses movie - not just a must see - and in DVD too :-)
