Dil To Pagal Hai
What Was Life Really Like?
India celebrated 50 years of independence, and the mood was reflective. How far had it come? How far did it have to go?
The IT sector in Bangalore was booming — Infosys and Wipro were becoming internationally recognised names. Dil To Pagal Hai was a glamorous, glossy Bollywood film that seemed to belong to a different, more prosperous India than the one most people lived in. But that India was getting closer for more and more families every year.
