== Plot ==
Rahul and Nisha are members of a dance troupe that perform dance-based musical plays in Mumbai. Nisha is secretly in love with Rahul, but outwardly, they are just friends. Rahul announces his desire to direct a new musical named Maya. The members of the troupe, including Nisha, have their doubts about the title character, "Maya" who Rahul describes as a girl who believes in true love, and who is waiting for her prince charming, who she believes will surely turn up and take her away. Nisha is cast to play the role of Maya.

Pooja, who is an amazing and classically trained dancer is passionate about dancing. Having been orphaned at a young age, Pooja was raised by close friends of her parents. Pooja and Rahul have a string of near-misses as they run into each other time and again. Each of these instances is marked by a tune playing in the background, that registers with Pooja. Pooja is soon taken to Germany by her foster parent's son Ajay, her childhood best friend who has been working in London. Just as Ajay leaves to fly back to London, he proposes to Pooja. In a dilemma, Pooja ends up accepting his marriage proposal.

Meanwhile, Nisha injures her leg during rehearsals for the upcoming play, and the doctor advises her to take bed rest and not dance for a few months. In search of a new dancer to replace Nisha in the play, he comes across Pooja dancing one day, and believes she is perfect for the role. He begs her to come to their rehearsals and after much hesitation, she agrees. Eventually, Rahul and Pooja become close friends. Nisha soon returns from the hospital and is upset that she has been replaced, and becomes very jealous upon learning that Rahul likes Pooja. Knowing that Rahul does not reciprocate her love, she decides to leave for London to visit her parents. Throughout rehearsals, Rahul and Pooja find themselves falling for one another. When Rahul drops Pooja home one day, he starts whistling his tune, making Pooja realize that she has fallen for the man with the tune she so often heard. The next day, the two go to meet Pooja's old dance tutor, who Pooja addresses as Tai, who figures that the two are ardently in love. At the wedding of two members of the dance troupe, Rahul and Pooja share an intimate moment, but are unsure how to express their love for each other.

A few days before the premiere of the play, Ajay arrives at the rehearsal hall to surprise Pooja. He tells everyone that he is her fiancé. Rahul is heartbroken, but tries not to show it. Nisha, who has returned from London, notices Rahul's devastation and explains how she too was devastated when he did not love her in return. Rahul edits the end of the play to reflect his heartbreak, in contrast to his usual style of always giving a happy ending. On the night of the premiere, as Rahul and Pooja's characters are about to break up on stage, Ajay plays a recorded tape Pooja was going to send him before his proposal, where she described how she felt about Rahul. Ajay is indirectly telling Pooja that she and Rahul are meant to be together. Pooja now realizes she truly loves Rahul and the two confess their love on stage as the audience applauds them, giving the play a happy ending once again. Backstage, Ajay ends up asking Nisha whether she is already married or not, implying his interest in her.

== Production ==
[[File:KarismaKapoor02.jpg|thumb|Kapoor played Nisha, a role several actresses rejected]]

''Dil To Pagal Hai'' was the second of [[Yash Chopra]]'s 4 consecutive films to star [[Shah Rukh Khan]] as the male lead. It was the third film to feature Khan opposite [[Madhuri Dixit]], after ''[[Anjaam]]'' (1994) and ''[[Koyla]]'' (1997). The film was originally titled ''Maine To Mohabbat Kar Li'' and ''Tevar'' before Chopra finally settled on ''Dil To Pagal Hai'' as the title.

[[Sridevi]] was initially offered to play the role of Pooja, but she declined as she did not find her role as substantial as that in ''[[Lamhe]]''.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2024-08-13 |title=Amitabh Bachchan-Hema Malini's 'Baghban', Shah Rukh Khan-Juhi Chawla's 'Darr', Prabhas' 'Baahubali': Movies rejected by Sridevi |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/amitabh-bachchan-hema-malinis-baghban-shah-rukh-khan-juhi-chawlas-darr-prabhas-baahubali-movies-rejected-by-sridevi/photostory/112501636.cms |access-date=2024-10-06 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=8 blockbusters, including one Hollywood film, Sridevi rejected |url=https://www.dnaindia.com/web-stories/entertainment/bollywood/8-films-hollywood-blockbuster-sridevi-rejected-darr-baazigar-jurrasic-park-baahubali-baghban-1723289355600 |access-date=2024-10-06 |website=DNA India |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Singh|first=Shaista|date=20 June 2018|title=12 Iconic Films That Would Have Been Totally Different Had Sridevi Not Refused Them|url=https://in.bookmyshow.com/entertainment/movies/hindi/12-iconic-films-that-would-have-been-completely-different-had-sridevi-not-refused-them/|access-date=27 October 2020|website=BookMyShow|language=en-US}}</ref> The role then went to Dixit.

After casting Dixit in the lead role of Pooja, Chopra found it hard to cast the role of the second female lead, Nisha. [[Manisha Koirala]] was first approached for the role, but declined. Koirala later admitted that she regretted turning it down.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Manisha Koirala says she was 'scared' of starring with Madhuri Dixit in Dil To Pagal Hai, 'regrets' rejecting film: 'My silly insecurities' |date=27 April 2024 |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/manisha-koirala-scared-of-sharing-screen-with-madhuri-dixit-dil-to-pagal-hai-regrets-rejecting-film-silly-insecurities-9293318/}}</ref> The role was then offered to [[Juhi Chawla]], as Chopra wanted two leading actresses of that time to star alongside each other, however Chawla did not want to play second fiddle to Dixit, after playing the leading lady in Chopra's previous film ''[[Darr]]'' (1993). [[Kajol]] and [[Raveena Tandon]] were also offered the role; however Kajol declined as she felt that the role was insubstantial while Tandon was considering quitting her career at the time. After some thought, Chopra decided to extend the role of Nisha a little more. [[Urmila Matondkar]], who worked with Khan in ''[[Chamatkar]]'' (1992), accepted the role, but opted out after a day of shooting. Chopra finally approached [[Karisma Kapoor]] who agreed to take up the role and was signed.<ref>{{cite web |title=FTF Karisma Kapoor 7-6-2000 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03U-nfwxzz4 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160317024512/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03U-nfwxzz4 |archive-date=17 March 2016 |access-date=2015-09-02 |work=itv india | date=8 December 2011 |df=dmy-all}}</ref> She felt that despite the short screen-time, a lot could be achieved with the role.<ref>{{cite news |title=6 interesting moments of Madhuri-Juhi on Koffee With Karan |work=The Times of India |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/tv/6-interesting-moments-of-Madhuri-Juhi-on-Koffee-With-Karan/photostory/30987463.cms |url-status=live |access-date=3 March 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140302015400/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/tv/6-interesting-moments-of-Madhuri-Juhi-on-Koffee-With-Karan/photostory/30987463.cms |archive-date=2 March 2014 |df=dmy-all}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Rediff on the NeT, Movies: Karisma Kapoor interview |url=https://m.rediff.com/movies/1999/sep/28kari.htm |access-date=22 March 2018 |archive-date=22 March 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180322204501/https://m.rediff.com/movies/1999/sep/28kari.htm |url-status=live }}</ref>

[[Jackie Shroff]] was the initial choice to play the role of Ajay, however Chopra felt that a much younger actor was required, promoting Chopra to sign [[Akshay Kumar]].<ref name="N">{{Cite web|url=https://www.news18.com/entertainment/bollywood/was-akshay-kumar-never-paid-for-his-role-in-dil-to-pagal-hai-7782667.html|title=Was Akshay Kumar Never Paid For His Role In Dil To Pagal Hai?|date=11 May 2023|website=News18}}</ref> Kumar was reportedly not paid for his role.<ref name="N"/>

In addition to writing the story, Chopra co-produced the film along with M. Vakil under the banner Yash Raj Films. The script was written by Chopra, his son Aditya and wife Pamela. The film's costumes were designed by [[Manish Malhotra]] and [[Karan Johar]]. [[Manmohan Singh (film director)|Manmohan Singh]] was the film's cinematographer, while the choreography was handled by [[Farah Khan]] and [[Shiamak Davar]].<ref name="cast">{{Cite web|url=https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movie/dil-to-pagal-hai/cast/|title=Dil to Pagal Hai Cast List | Dil to Pagal Hai Movie Star Cast | Release Date | Movie Trailer | Review- Bollywood Hungama|website=[[Bollywood Hungama]]|date=30 October 1997|access-date=3 July 2023|archive-date=21 January 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220121203700/https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movie/dil-to-pagal-hai/cast/|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Shahid Kapoor]] made an uncredited appearance as a dancer in the song <nowiki>''Le Gayi''</nowiki>.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/come-dance-with-me-shahid-kapoor/story-szO1PIkaVIECXXtULdvD2J.html |title=Come dance with me: Shahid Kapoor |work=Hindustan Times |date=14 January 2010 |access-date=2016-04-22 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160307231218/http://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/come-dance-with-me-shahid-kapoor/story-szO1PIkaVIECXXtULdvD2J.html |archive-date=7 March 2016 |df=dmy-all }}</ref>

=== Critical reception ===
[[Omar Ahmed]] of ''[[Empire (magazine)|Empire]]'' gave the film 4 out of 5 stars, noting, "It's great eye-candy, painting a portrait of a newly prosperous India in rainbow colours. Good performances too make this a cut above the Bollywood average."<ref name="Review by Omar Ahmed Empire" /> ''[[Screen (magazine)|Screen]]'' wrote, "Yash Chopra had made a sophisticated film — not in the elitist sense of inaccessibility or half-understood stylistic innovations but one which prizes good taste. Whether it is 'too sophisticated' for our mass audiences addicted to loud emotions, vulgar dances and gratuitous violence is entirely another matter. You cannot legislate good taste."<ref>{{cite magazine |author= |date=14 November 1997 |title=All bout loving and losing, loving and winning |url=http://www.screenindia.com/nov14/review1.htm |magazine=[[Screen (magazine)|Screen]] |location=Mumbai |publisher=[[Indian Express Limited]] |access-date=4 March 2025 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030920154917/http://www.screenindia.com:80/nov14/review1.htm |archive-date=20 September 2003}}</ref>
