Dariya Dil review :

Kader Khan, in a double role, stole the show in this family drama directed by Vimal Kumar. Govinda played his younger son with Kimi Katkar as his love interest. A song featuring them in Superman Spider(wo)man costumes became an internet meme in recent times.

The plot centered around a wealthy businessman Kader Khan who is not happy with his good for nothing sons Raj Kiran and Shashi Puri. Shakti Kapoor plays the villain and gets Kader Khan bumped off to usurp his business.

Kader Khans dialogues were the films highlight and his double role was much appreciated by the audience. Note the way he shames his sons Raj and Shashi by showing his own mazdoor father's belongings stored in a room which these guys take to be hidden treasure.

Encouraged by the films success, Vimal Kumar repeated Kader Khan - Govinda jodi and made two more family dramas with them - Jaisi Karni Waisi Bharni (1989) and Karz Chukana Hai (1991).

I owned a VHS of Dariya Dil and have seen it multiple times in my childhood. A fairly entertaining family drama!

One of the Best movie of my favorite actor

excellent movie and enjoyed a lot the song superman & spider man. Govinda is the only actor whose movies can be seen with whole family. Funny, action, drama, emotions everything can be found in his movies.the film is well handled and keeps you involved throughout with good jokes and less loud scenes The film does have some slapstick scenes which are too much but yet they make you laugh mostly Govinda gives his last best work, His handling of comedy is tremendous here Music is good. I give this movie a straight ten on ten because it makes you laugh non stop.Good movie, hit music, and laughable gags. As usual, not for the highbrow, but for someone who simply wants laughs. Govinda is good Kader Khan does well too

One of the Best Bollywood Family Films

[Li_85 · 8/10 · 11 June 2006]

There have been many Family Movies in Bollywood. Family values work in Hindi Movies more then it does in Hollywood. There have been 1000s of Hindi Movies about family life with Jeetendra, Mithun and Rajesh Khanna being the regulars. Dariya Dil is one of the Best Family Drama's around. Its a simple story of a father who has a special bond for giving charity to the poor gets miss treated two of his sons. Govinda plays the Good son who respects his father. The other 2 sons are lazy and ill mannered. They treat their parents in a bizarre way and eventually kick them out of the house. Govinda does a good job in the role. Kimi Katkar is one of Bollywood's most annoying actresses, you'll know why if you see her films. It is Kader Khan who delivers a powerhouse performance as the struggling father. We can see a similar role in the Hit Amitabh movie Baghban. Baghban had a better finish where the father doesn't forgive the sons. Dariya Dil is a good family movie.

for future generation

People who are worried about their future you should watch this movie. this movie will give the young people a lot of courage. I t has gave me a lot of courage. It simply about Kadar khan who tries his level best to give his boys (ajay, vijay) a lot of advices to pass exams. But they messed up their future..... govinn=da goes well... hey you people should watch this movie. and I will tell you something never ever trust your best friend. you will see in this movie, watch this movie and you will find out what happens to people who don't value their expensive time. time turns on their back, problems occurs from four corners, they finally regret they should of used the time for learning. So future generation watch this movie this is today's reallity. It is excellent thats why I gave it a 10.
