Storyline

Jaidev Anand is a celebrity, and lives a fairly isolated life. One day he comes to the rescue of a young woman, Vandana Acharya, and falls in love with her. Vandana respects him, but falls in love with another man, Abhimanyu. This news shatters Jaidev, but he decides not to tell Vandana anything. Then the jeep in which Abhimanyu and Vandana were traveling is attacked by an assailant named D.K., and as a result Abhimanyu gets killed. Jaidev is sorry for Vandana, but gets his hopes up enough to propose to her, and to his joy, she accepts. The plans are on for an early marriage, but before that could happen Vandana meets a single mother, Gayetri, and her son. It is then she finds out that Jaidev is already married, and also has a son. What possible reason could Jaidev have for not sharing this information with Vandana?

User Reviews

For wounded hearted or what?

Zakhmi Dil is an impossibly bad film. It is a movie that does not make sense at all. The writing and the acting are equally theatrical. The dialogues are very melodramatic and the movie goes rounds and rounds without ever really managing to tell a story. Some of the scenes were really laughable, and some of the characters particularly made me think the movie was made to fool audiences. It's rather surprising, considering the film's writer is none other than Sachin Bhowmick, who has written the scripts of some very good films. And it is actually the awful direction that makes this movie so unbearable. Here, we see a story that had been told thousand times before, and the entire track of music is very unbelievable. The movie stars Akshay Kumar, who tries hard to convince the viewers that he is a calm musician. He is soft-spoken and restrained but never effective enough to leave a mark. Moon Moon Sen gets a pathetic role and her acting is bad enough to leave the impression of the role as it is and even worsen it. Other cast members are equally forgettable. The music is also average and uninspiring. Zakhmi Dil is really an awful effort which I highly recommend you to avoid.
