The Dil Chahta Hai Reunion happened on August 28 at a suburban hotel in Mumbai. It was organized by Amazon Music and We Are Yuva. The event saw almost the entire team of the film Aamir Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Dimpla Kapadia, Sonali Kulkarni, Farhan Akhtar, Ritesh Sidhwani, Javed Akhtar, Shankar Mahadevan, Ehsaan Noorani and Loy Mendonsa get nostalgic on its 25 iconic years. One of the funniest aspects about Dil Chahta Hai was the character Subodh and his obsession with time tables and punctuality. However, in recent times on social media, fans have started expressing their admiration for Subodh with some also referring to him as a Green Flag. The character was the boyfriend of Sonali Kulkarnis Pooja. Interestingly, Subodh was played by Farhan Akhtars friend Asad Dadarkar, who is like the same person in real life. When Subodhs topic was introduced during the conversation at the reunion, Sonali Kularni said, I think Subodh added a fantastic flavour to the whole relationship. Having said that, Subodh, is Farhans dear friend. He didnt actually act. I remember he was like that (in real life too). He came on the set and he said, Its 9 Oclock, I will start shooting. The last sentence sent a wave of laughter among the crowd. To this, Farhan joked saying, Actually, we had invited him to come for this event. He was here at 6 (pm) but then he left as it didnt start (on time). Dil Chahta Hai eventually saw Saif Ali Khans character Sameer falling for Pooja and the two becoming a couple. The host asked Saif what he thought of Subodh. The actor said, Oh, he is a great guy, much to the laughter of the crowd. He added, I felt very bad making fun of him. But thats the job. Directed by Farhan Akhtar and produced under the banner of Excel Entertainment, Dil Chahta Hai also featured Preity Zinta and Akshaye Khanna. The two actors couldnt attend the reunion.

Komal Nahta had a conversation with Adnan Sami, during which the latter spoke strongly against the growing trend of remixed songs. Adnan Sami began by saying, It is always lovely to revive an old song. In my opinion, the ratio should be 80-20, with 20 being the remixed songs. Thats how it was before. But now, its 20-80 (laughs)! Adnan then stated, One word that would define this is khauff. The corporates are scared to experiment. It is happening even in cinemas. Remakes are attempted, sequels are made; even prequels are planned! Off-shoots bhi chal rahe hain. First, they made Batman. When they exhausted that character, they decided Joker banate hai! You see, these are all very safe subjects. The Odyssey recently released; pehli dafa toh yeh nahin ban rahi hai na? He added, Even in our cinema, franchises are made as they are safe. Earlier, such things were very rare. Star Wars and The Godfather had sequels. But this was not a regular thing. The same is happening in music. They come across a super-hit song from the 70s, 80s or 90s. They know its a sure-shot success. So, they decide Mukhda wohi rakh dena, antara change kar dena! Adnan Sami continued, When you ask record labels that aap yeh (remix) kyun kar rahe hain, they reply, Because public chahti hai (smiles). However, the thing is that if a man is hungry and you present him with sookhe chawal, toh woh uspe toot padega. And if you ask someone why you are feeding him sookhe chawal, hed reply Yehi toh woh chahta hai. Dekho kitne maze se woh kha raha hai! But hes savouring it as you didnt serve him khichdi or biryani. Adnan Sami opined, What saddens me is that every generation call certain songs their own. My father used to say Dheere Se Aaja Ri Ankhiyan Mein mere waqt ka gaana hai. I would feel the same for Chura Liya Hai. The ones who grew up in the 90s would feel a sense of belonging for the songs of say, Aashiqui (1990). But which song would this generation consider their own? After all, you have mostly presented recreated versions to them. He also said, We often blame music composers for remixes. But the reality is that those poor music directors are asked to come up with recreated versions. Kya woh dil se bana rahe hain? I can give you in writing that no music director ever dreamed as a child that he would grow up and work on remixes. So, dont blame them; blame those who zabardasti make them do it.
