The touching story of a girl who can’t pick between the sex appeal of a musician and the bank account of a lawyer.
"Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam" opens in the populated AF haveli of stuck up, mega-principled classical musician Pandit Darbar. Everything here is as Gujarati as it gets.
Let's talk about the values of this family: Women are treated like ~princesses~ so long as they accept their fate as slaves to men, who can trade them like Pokémon without consent, but only because they love them so much and want the best for them.

Italy-return music enthusiast Sameer is making his way to the haveli to learn from Pandit Darbar. He's, uh, walking through the desert, for some reason. Dude has some serious issues because he literally believes the weather is his dad.
He picks very serious fights with a damn cloud, y'all, no kidding. Like, the weather slaps him, hugs him, yells at him, everything.

Lucky for Sameer, he's going to fit right in with the entire Darbar family because everyone is at least 10 times more mental than he'll ever be.
Festive as fuck all year round.

Sameer is supposed to stay in Nandini's room. She's the Pandit's darling daughter. She hates the idea of giving up her room, but Sameer's so damn charming, he literally greets her with a "kem chho?" and she falls for him.
I grew up in a fucking metro and I don't have 1/4th the confidence of this girl who's always lived in what seems to be an almost unreachable far off desert. She starts flirting with him like a pro, right off the bat. #Goals
