It’s been 15 glorious years since ‘Dil Toh Bachcha Hai Ji’ won hearts with its breezy romance and comedy, and director Madhur Bhandarkar is marking the milestone with a heartfelt social media post. The 2011 film remains a fan favorite for its simple yet profound take on love.
Bhandarkar posted the vibrant poster on Instagram Stories, spotlighting Ajay Devgn and Emraan Hashmi. ’15 years complete! A personal favorite with its entertaining plot and touching songs. Grateful for the love. Stream on Prime Video and Jio Hotstar,’ read his emotional note.
The plot centers on three buddies in their 40s rediscovering love. Ajay Devgn’s character, post-divorce, joins Emraan Hashmi and Omi Vaidya in comical pursuits of passion. They chase younger flames – think Shruti Haasan and Shazahn Padamsee – but learn that true comfort comes from within and friendship.
Rituparna Sengupta, Tisca Chopra, and Shraddha Das fleshed out the world with memorable performances. The soundtrack, highlighted by Mohit Chauhan’s evergreen ‘Abhi Kuch Dino Se,’ propelled its popularity. Even now, clips go viral online, keeping the vibe alive.
Co-written by Bhandarkar, Sanjay Chhel, and Kumar, the film offered respite from heavy cinema. Audience reception was warm, with music becoming a standout. This anniversary post underscores its timeless quality, inviting a new generation to enjoy the laughs and lessons.
