Dil Se.. is an amazing movie, being quite original and portraying the power of love in the purist form. The Sufi (spiritual and divine) essence of love in both the music and the movie as a whole makes it a brilliant piece. It is beautiful how innocence and love are projected in a background of misery and suffering. The song lyrics are amazing especially those of the song "Dil Se". It defines the delicacy and fragility of human nature and the passion and yearning with which the human heart calls out for .. love. Personally, I think that Shahrukh Khan has never acted better in any other movie than this one because of the demands of his role that seems like a minor character when compared to the complicated and fearless heroine. It is good to see that the hero is an ordinary man falling in love and being thrown in the face of patriotic duty rather than the typical macho heroes of Indian movies. His realistic character shows in the fight scenes where he gets beat up by the enemy repeatedly and consequently, grows to put up a fight driven by love. The heroine has more of a character than that of a Bond-girl or damsel type seductress typical of Indian movie heroines. The choreography of the songs is very touching as it combines different aspects of love i.e. innocence and spiritual fulfillment with sexual longing.
