DTPH is the short form used for this film. The film is from the most successful Yash s production. The film stars Shah Ruck Khan, Madhuri Dixit and Karishma Kapoor. The film is about the incidents that happen in a dance team. Shah Ruck Khan and Karishma Kapoor form the dancing pair. They are close friends. Slowly Karishma falls in love with Shah Rukh. Meanwhile Shah Rukh falls in love at first sight with the Madhuri who arrives to their dance studio. Because of friendship Karishma sacrifices her love on learning that Shah Rukh loves the other and helps him in his love. The series of events that happen along are well portrayed making it an interesting film.The film has many foot tapping numbers and superb duet songs. It is worth watching more than once. It is a complete entertainer and you will be driven to watch it several times. --bollywoodhungama.com

The story is fairly simple, and may be the only thing lacking in the movie. Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan), a director, starts with describing a new play that his performing team is going to put on "Maya", translated as "illusion". The lone female dancer in his team is Nisha (Karisma Kapoor). Nisha, madly in love with Rahul, once tells him about her love. As Rahul starts making this play with Nisha in the lead as "Maya", she gets injured, and the real "Maya", Pooja (Madhuri Dixit) arrives. Pooja is arranged to marry Ajay (Akshay Kumar), a businessman from London. Pooja takes the part as Maya hesitantly. From there, the story rolls to the finale quite peacefully. Shah Rukh Khan dominates the movie. His role as Rahul is played valiantly and may be deserving of an award. Karisma Kapoor dominates her role also. Her talents, shown off again after Raja Hindustani, may make her a mainstay in the film industry. Madhuri Dixit, as Pooja, shows off her talent as an actress, and this role may bring her back into the numero uno spot, as it was left up for grabs because many big name female character films flopped this year. The music sounds even better in the film than on cassette. The choreography and technical aspects of the direction during the songs show off the real beauty of Yash Raj Films. Yash Chopra s direction stresses his experience and delicate handling of the movie. Many other directors destroy films at their endings, especially films with weak scripts. The dialogues by Aditya Chopra showed off his young talents. The handling of the dialogues by Yash Chopra may make the dialogues better than they actually were, but they worked well in the context of the movie.

The movie is a must watch for all you die hard romantics out there. --bollywoodhungama.com
