Save your money for something good and enjoyable

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Okay, here is the deal, this movie, by me, should get only 1 because it actually made it to a cinema or two in India. But I gave it a two because it actually had the gut to rip off a more or less popular Hollywood title called "She's the man". Being a copy of the original it had the potential to overwhelm the easily satisfied Indian movie goers who would make "Wanted" (another rip off, but this one of a french movie "B-13") a hit.There was comedy in it and it was all Rani Mukherjee's face and how she/he put some make up on to act look like a boy and no one seemed to have noticed her big bosoms.If you have a few rupees laying around DO NOT GO to this movie, donate to Haiti instead, then you would know it did not go to fund the director's newer scams to extort money from the overly naive people of India.

I, like some others, don't understand the poor ratings the movie has received here on IMDb. I am also a bit frustrated at how it's called a poor copy of American "She's the man". For anyone who's read some Japanese comics, it's obvious that "She's the man" is more copy of manga titles such as "Girl got game" and "Boku ni natta watashi" than Dil Bole Hadippa is a copy of She's the man. I love gender bender stories and have read and watched a lot, but I must say that Dil Bole Hadippa is one of my favorites so far. Most of all I liked the absence of any over the top triangle drama that almost always come with this type of story. I was a bit puzzled by Rohan's extreme reaction when Veera was first exposed to him, but other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed the film. As a loyalist of gender bender plots - I say this is a must see.

Shahid perhaps jumped at the opportunity to work under YRF without bothering to even ask for the script. His character surfaces quite fickle-minded. Shahid however gives his best shot to infuse life into the character. For Rani its supposed to be come-back movie - why? When did she have a sabbatical on the first place? And didn't you know what the turn of events when Adi attempted comeback movie for Mrs. Nay-nay? Not being funny but her personality and height was not quite suited for the role of the Surd Veer Pratap Singh (somebody else with a strong personality and better height might have helped). Remember Padmini Kolhapure in Zamaane Ko Dikhana Hai? Rakhi Sawant can put in her resume that she worked in a YRF banner. Seriously, there wasn't an iota of contribution for her character. YRF perhaps incorporated as a marketing gimmick.Sherlyn Chopra - again an unwanted character who forces a nasal in the name of sensuous voice. And she hasn't improved a bit since Red Swastik.Anupam and Dilip Tahil were dependable. Cameo by Poonam was okay'ish.Whilst in "Chak De" the focus on the game was like fish-eye and there was no tom-foolery around there. Whereas in "Dil Bole Hadippa" there are too many plots::* Father-son relationship* Anupam - Poonam failed marriage* Rani's passion for the game* Shahid - Rani's romantic track* India - Pakistan milaapAmongst all these somewhere the game of cricket seems desperately hunting for its identity. The last 30-minutes of the writing is perhaps the worst it could possibly get. Sick is perhaps the nearest word that comes to mind looking at the movies churned out by YRF factory. Does anybody even bother to look at the statistics in there - hello? I wouldn't be surprised would beg their lucky mascot to salvage the Titanic. Its quite apt to quote Scar's words from The Lion King " I'm surrounded by idiots!".PS: Siddhart Anand in his "Bachna Ae Haseeno" paid homage to the self- obsessed producers "one & only and never again will be" movie and guess what? He was instantly rewarded with another movie. Well Mr. Anurag Singh no harm in counting the chickens before the eggs hatch. Adi - grow up boy!

I was surprised to how a typical tried out story actually entertained me and made me happy!. Great to see Rani back, her absence was felt and her return is ever so glamorous. Its great to see someone who can really dance match up with Shahid. Shahid is his usual serious self, and doesn't come through much in contact with the viewers, but his acting was tip top and enjoyable. The story was so colorful that i was laughing unexpectedly at times. The make up for Rani as a male was realistic, i actually know someone that looks like that. My only comment is the case of the disappearing and re-appearing eye shadow and make-up. As soon as she throws everything male off she checks in for seconds into invisible beauty salon and re-appears fully beautified :D. More or less very enjoyable and will own it on DVD, the music is lively and makes you want to dance the bhangra. And for you all women rights hater males who voted poor for the movie, let me tell you its not that she was a girl its that she played better than men (in the movie) so the image of weaker sex can't play with guys was abolished and nullified to the zennith.. thats why everyone with a sane mind clapped at the end.
