Thankfully a film personality isn't making huge claims for his film even though he has huge stakes involved as this is going to be debut film.
We are talking about Nakuul Mehta who isn't going around the town proclaiming HAAL-E-DIL to be the best film coming out of this side of the century and is instead emphasizing on the fact that it is a decent musical family entertainer.
'Of course, there is no point claiming that we all have made an earth shattering film in the form of HAAL-E-DIL', admits Nakuul, 'We were never set out to make a great film in any case. Yes, what we have certainly made is an honest film. It is a film which is very refreshing and brings to fore new talent which would surely be noticed by the audience.'
He goes on to add, 'The funda of entire team of HAAL-E-DIL was simple - Make a film which gives audience some 'paisa vasool' entertainment. We had to get the ingredients right which includes having good music in place. Look at films like QAYAMAT SE QAYAMAT TAK, MAINE PYAAR KIYA and KAHO NAA...PYAAR HAI; each of them has launched newcomers and has boasted of chartbuster music. In HAAL-E-DIL too, we are looking at replicating a similar feat.'
'The film's USP is its script which is engaging enough for audience to spend their 2 hours in a theater. This is what made me sign the film in the first place as I fell in love with the way entire characterization has been done in HAAL-E-DIL', says Nakuul.
Getting into a lighter mood, he says with a wink, 'And if not anything else, you can at the least save yourself from rain or extreme heat this summer and have some chill out time in an air conditioned auditorium. Now that at the least would be some 'paisa vasool', isn't it?'
