Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam starred Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai in the lead roles. The film won a lot of critical acclaim and awards, including three National awards, nine Filmfare and eleven IIFA awards. Not many people know that Ismail Darbar, who was honored with a National Award for the music direction spent two years on the music of the film. As a result, the album had songs for all the occasions and all the songs of the movie were a hit.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali had chosen Miss World Aishwarya Rai to play Nandini, but producers of the film were skeptical whether she would be able to play the character or not since she had a Western face. According to Wikipedia, Aishwarya's look of a desi girl in ghagra-choli and a plait was suggested by Bhansali, who came up with the idea, "Why not tie her hair in a plait and give her a traditional look?" The New-found look of Miss World charmed the audiences and the character was a big hit, as was the movie.
In the garba song Dholi Taro, to light-up the acrylic floor Nitin Desai, the art-director, used marigold flowers for the purpose. The flowers that are traditionally offered in temples were placed under the acrylic sheets, which lightened up the floor as well as the whole set. While the song was shot, the floor looked phenomenal with an orange background and nobody could make out that it was dazzling due to the marigold flowers and not the lighting.
Saroj Khan won an award for Best Choreography at the Filmfare Awards for the song Nimbooda. The song picturized on Aishwarya Rai is a dance number involving fast beats and a lot of quick dance movements. The actress did a fabulous job in performing on this track even when her feet were swollen due to an accident she met on the sets of the movie. The actress met with an accident due to a chandelier on the set and had to dance with swollen feet. Bhansali has thanked her many times for her dedication and incredible performance in the movie and particularly for this song.
Salman Khan, who plays Sameer in the movie, is shown to have a strange habit of talking to his deceased father while looking at the sky. It is said that even director Bhansali had this habit from his childhood as he lost his father at a young age. Sameer’s connection with his father had a pivotal role in the movie, as it was only during these conversations that Sameer spoke his heart out. The connection between Sameer and his father was brought out very well during the movie.
