New Delhi, June 21: : Two boys, one girl, one lo-o-o-o-ng train ride, and Shimla. This is a sort-of-triangle, top lining first-timers: Adhyayan is Shekhar Suman’s son, Amita is producer Kumar Mangat’s daughter, and Nakuul is the underdog-who-gets-the-girl.

The first and second are in college . She runs into the third on a train, whose fave dialogue goes thus: Jahaan logic khatam hota hai, wahan magic shuru hota hai. Dunno about the magic, but Haal-e-Dil sure beats logic, while it goes about reprising bits of Jungle and DDLJ— Switzerland nahin toh Shimla sahi. One claimant to the girl’s hand is bumped off abruptly, so the other wins, but only after starving and shivering for a whole seven days at her door-step. Seriously.

This is one of those films which fills in theatres in between the big releases.
