Dil Ne Jise Apna Kahaa (transl.The One Who My Heart Calls Mine) is a 2004 Indian Hindi-language film starring Salman Khan, Preity Zinta, Bhumika Chawla, Delnaaz Paul, Riya Sen and Helen. It is an unofficial adaptation of the American film Return to Me (2000). The film had a poor opening and proved to be unsuccessful at the box office.

Plot

[edit]

The movie begins with a young couple named Rishabh (Salman Khan) and Pari (Preity Zinta), who are deeply in love. He is wealthy chief editor at an advertising agency for film ads, and she is a hardworking, dedicated doctor. They marry, and soon Pari is pregnant. Pari has a dream to create a hospital for children. Tragically, she is involved in an accident and dies in the hospital after losing her unborn child as well from internal bleeding. Pari's last wish was to donate her heart to her patient Dhani (Bhumika Chawla). Rishabh is devastated and refuses to go on with the plan to donate the heart; he goes ahead with Pari's last request: the creation of the children’s hospital which Rishabh names Parilok (fairyland).

Dhani is cured, much to the joy of her family and her grandmother (Helen). Rishabh has gone into depression but soon comes across Pari's project to build Parilok. He begins to develop the project with the aid of his brother-in-law RT, and his team of project coordinators and architects. Soon enough, Rishabh and Dhani come across each other now that she works in his agency as a copywriter, and she feels an instant attraction to him. Rishabh becomes disgruntled and ignores her advances as he is still very much in love with Pari. RT begins to see a huge change in the agency since Dhani began working for them but Rishabh suggests that she should quit. By the time the early concepts for the Parilok hospital come in, Rishabh snaps at Dhani after she disapproves of the designs of the hospital. RT tries to get through with Rishabh’s miserableness and questions why he snapped at Dhani.

RT explains Rishabh’s bitterness to Dhani and tells her that Pari had donated her heart to a dying patient and that Rishabh hates Pari’s new heart donor. Dhani now knows the truth and that she now has Pari’s heart. She confronts Pari’s colleague and reveals her the truth and that everything that Pari used to love and hate are all linked to her heart. The next day, Dhani pulls together her version of the Parilok hospital concepts and everyone is amused by her presentation. Rishabh does not know that Pari's heart was given to Dhani, but soon he realizes that after Dhani collapses on his doorstep after nastily telling her to leave his house. Rishabh feels that he’s always responsible for someone’s death. Pari’s especially. His sister tells him that God must have given him the chance to love Pari again through Dhani. She gives him two choices: either to accept Dhani through Pari’s heart or let her die. Rishabh agrees to accept this fate. While she is in the hospital, with doctors struggling to restart her broken heart, he falls in love with her. He tells her that he loves her, and if she loves him, she will pull through. She does, and the two get together.
