Dil Hai Tumaara (meaning ‘ My Heart Is Yours’) kicks off with the conflict between Sarita, a widowed Mayoress of Palanpur and her step daughter Shalu.

Sarita simply cannot come to terms with the fact that her husband once had a mistress and a daughter, Shalu by her.

What makes matters worse is that Sarita has to take full responsibility of Shalu’s life even though she has her own daughter Nimmu to contend with.

Both these sisters take to each other immediately like real siblings despite the fact that they are totally different in character.

Shalu is more vivacious, spirited and tomboyish whilst Nimmu is more of an introvert with a feminine nature.

Yet for Sarita this vibrant child is a heartbreaking memory of her husband’s torrid love affair. So while she showers her love on Nimmu, she is totally cold and heartless to Shalu.

Into their lives enter the sophisticated Dev (Arjun Rampal), the son of a business man who comes to close down the factory that is the lifeline of the local people.

Then there is Samir (Jimmy Shergil), a brilliant ventriloquist, who can express his feelings only through his craft.

He has loved Shalu very dearly since their childhood days. This is where the twist in the story occurs when both these girls end up falling in love with the same man - who happens to be Dev.

Step-mum Sarita tries her level best to see that her own daughter, Nimmu wins this war of love.

Soon Shalu gets to know the truth and she decides to sacrifice her love to help her sister.

So will Sarita be able to overcome her innermost feelings for Shalu? Is it too late for Shalu to reclaim her love for Dev? And what about Samir? Where does he fit into this emotional scenario?

The performance by actress Priety Zinta is simply superb. Praise also goes to Mahima Choudhary for her touching performance throughout.

Rekha fans will be pleased to see their favourite actress taking the role of a mother for the first time on screen.

Do take take note of her transparent sitting room floor with flowing water underneath. Definitely a novel idea in interior design!

As for Arjun and Jimmy, they both support well throughout the story considering that this is a women oriented flick.

Cinematography is average, although a few snips here and there might have done the trick to bring it a few notches higher in the technical department.

Overall this flick does grab the audience’s attention - especially the last thirty minutes which consist of a gripping climax!
