lmost all the hype surrounding Dillagi is over Sunny Deol turning director.
The film would have been 'fresh' had the elder Deol not acted in the recently-released Pyar Koi Khel Nahin.
Both films revolve around the same subject: a rich, mature, responsible elder brother (Sunny -- in both films) running the family business, a spoilt, brattish, irresponsible younger brother (Bobby in Dillagi, Apurva Agnihotri in Pyar Koi...
Sunny plays Ranvir a rich, mature, responsible brother (remember Pyar Koi Khel Nahin) who has promised his dying mother to look after his younger brother Rajvir (Bobby Deol).
Bobby is wild, reckless a spoilt brat who's having the time of his life with all the girls chasing him (remember Apoorv Agnihotri in Pyar Koi Khel Nahin and Saif Ali Khan in "Yeh Dillagi").
So while elder brother, Ranvir builds a five star hotel and does all that Bade Bhaiya is supposed to be doing, (Must be easy for Sunny since he really does like to take charge of Bobby's affairs in real life too!)Rajvir or Rocky is busy singing songs and romancing the girls.
Love can be as slippery as walking on the snow, can be as biting cold as the mountain breeze but love never fails in the rains as autumn always comes after the rains Yeh Dillagi is as pleasant and refreshing as the autumn.

It must've, but I was given a green signal to go ahead with my film, till such time as the people involved in Champion worked out their differences and settled their scores.
That was when I realised that I would have to give Dillagi everything that I had.
However, the moment Dillagi was complete I went on to complete Champion.
LAHORE, Sept 4: Fancied bay mare Dillagi put in a superb performance to land the feature event during the midweek Lahore Gymkhana races at the Racecourse Wednesday.
As the gates opened Dillagi broke away well from the field of nine runners and had the race won at the halfway, in the end holding off from the chestnut gelding Aao Payar Se by seven lengths.
Dillagi (Mohammad Iqbal Choudhry) 8-5 Shahid Mustafa 1.
The halfbred mare Dillagi is contesting in the sixth and last race of the day, the Leiah Plate class VII division V to be participated by eight contestants, if there are no last-minute withdrawals.
Dillagi, a progeny of Eighth Wonder out-of-Noor Nishan has already won two races consecutively on July 10 and August 7 last.
The way she won on both occasions, there are chances she may carry it to three in-a-row, provided her connections are willing to do so.
Although the film comes off as an obvious labor of love, audiences were not quite as enamored of the finished product, which bombed at the boxoffice and put a major crimp in Deol's career (since repaired with the smash hit Gadar).
Heartbroken, Ranvir nevertheless urges her to marry the man she loves, not realizing that the object of her affections is his own irresponsible brother.
Buoyed by some impressive camerawork and a couple of big-scale song-and-dance numbers, Dillagi hums by in a fairly ingratiating manner, although its plot is full of the typical contrivances needed to keep afloat a love triangle in which the two brothers involved have no idea that they are each other's romantic rival.
Dillagi has eight music composers and twice as many singers.
Sunny Deol began recording music for Dillagi, his first film as director, with Jatin-Lalit, but after a couple of songs the composer-duo got busy elsewhere.
And there was another number Anand-Milind had done for a movie Sunny had planned but didn't get round to making.
This love story traverses three generations of a joint family, represented by Biji (Zohra Sehgal), the adorable grandma, and her son, Veer Singh (Dara Singh) who, alongwith his mother, migrates from their laid back village to the teeming metropolis of Mumbai.
The film has several music directors, which is quite interesting.

Isnt there a saying of too many cooks spoiling the broth?
Well, the music of Sunny Deols debut as a director, Dillagi, suffers from one music director too many.
The profusion of musical styles and sounds that the four music directors - Shankar-Ehsan-Loy, Jatin-Lalit, Sukhwindara Singh and Anand-Milind - bring with them certainly imparts variety to the songs, but this is not a harmonious effort.
