Some films are made with routine screenplays with routine intention of winning hearts of routine viewers. Director Tejaa's Hindi remake of his own hit Telugu film Nuvu Nevvu Yeh Dil is one such film for sure. But then movies cannot become hit nowadays with such content, right?

Yeh Dil, to be fair to the maker, is a film that has certain good scenes. But before we jump to them, let's go on with the story. Somewhere in India, there is a college which has unmemorable kind of name. The said college is a place where thousands of students study but one Ravi (Tusshar Kapoor) has taken admission just to be in sports. He plays cricket, football, boxing, volleyball...but he never studies. His father Raghuraj Pratap Singh (Akhilendra Mishra) is the main donor for the college which was built by his grandpa.

The same college has another student Vasundhara aka Vasu (Anita). She somehow despised sportsmen and that's probably the reason that few scenes in the beginning are being shown. But then, love is always in the air when it is a college in general and it is of a Hindi film in particular. Vasu hails from a family which has two businesses, selling dairy products and extorting other's money. Her dad Mithva Yadav (Vineeth) and aunt are always-shouting and ever-fighting kind of humans. Ravi's father is a big shot businessman who is worth Rs. 200 crore in some scene and Rs. 700 crore in the other. He changes bed partners every night and believes that money is the supreme thing.

Anyways, both fathers are against of the love of their children. So, first they fight, and then they show the muscle powers and then try all other means to stop the guy and girl from getting too involved with each other. But they not only continue to find out way of meeting but also manage to live like hubby-and-wiffy for some time before they get spotted again. And then, they play the last card to settle everything...

Yeh Dil could have been a far better film than what it is turned out now. Like most Hindi films, this one also has lots of unwanted things in it. Let's speak of them later and get done with better side first. The director himself has written the film and he has, to an extent, managed to deliver some intriguing moments through combination of writing and direction. Though most of such scenes, with exception of Vasu jumping off from a train, are not novel, they are at least good enough to see. Then some lighter scenes that go well with the masses. Like a scene where a professor Kailash Chandra (Saurabh Shukla) passes Ravi's telephone number to Vasu is good. The villainous characters of the film are all mediocre but then, adding an aunt to create a deadly combo of male-female's bad team is interesting. While the film fails to leave an impact in totality, it is because of such small things that you manage to carry on with the film.
