Nikhil [Shahid Kapoor], is a happy go lucky man who spends most of his time playing football in Samarpur. Attached to this small town, he is also romancing Neha [Soha Ali Khan] who has dreams of making it big and moving out of Samarpur. That's the only condition that she places which places Nikhil in a quandary. Not happy with the thought of being stuck in samarpur all her life, Neha goes to Mumbai to train as an air-hostess so that she can experience the world.

Nikhil follows Neha to Mumbai in a lame effort to get her to return to samarpur with him. But success does not smile on him and he bumps into Sara (Tulip Joshi) at a music shop where he obtains a job. So we now have a further player in the picture. But wait, it does not stop there. Nikhil also “stumbles” across

Nikhil follows her to Mumbai, where he stumbles on to Shagun [Ayesha Takia], who resides in his neighbouring flat with her endearing mother (Zarina Wahab). The daily banterings between Nikhil and Shagun will inevitably lead to romance, we all know that.. The fun starts when Nikhil thinks he's over Neha and thinks Sara is the right one for him, only to find her ditching him for someone else..then to concentrate his efforts on Shagun but then Neha making a re-entry into his life wanting Nikhil back in her life. Misunderstanding after miunderstaning follows to force the lovers apart. The question facing us is whether Nikhil will end up with Sara, Neha or Shagun Its all reasonably clear but the film goes through its perfunctory reels to reach a fairly predictable conclusion.

Anand Mahadevan previously made Dil Vil Pyar Vyar, a film which did not quite work but had a distinct charm of its own. Dil Maange more, without being anything more than popcorn, has its moments and is very much like a Chick Flick, light, fairly racy and completely inconsequential.

Shahid Kapoor breezes in his role as Nikhil, and makes an impression. Ayesha Takia passes muster and Tulip Joshi is a bit of a washout. Soha Ali Khan makes a most confident debut..shows herself to be at complete ease before the camera. Zarina Wahab gives another notable performance.

Reshammiyya's music is fairly peppy but not a single tune remains with you after the film. Its worth a lazy Sunday afternoon viewing, crashed out on the sofa.
