Hillary raised chopper deal with Govt, Russians pushed India too far: Michel.While Dead Poets Society delivers an emotionally wrought story of teens who encounter the truth of life in their otherwise protected upbringing, Mohabbatein reduces the meaning of life to teenage love stories, which are quite inconsequential in the larger scheme of things. Both these films are set in a strict educational institution where a new teacher challenges the old norms – but that’s where the similarities end. The film’s emotional punches are so potent that thinking of them can bring tears to your eyes. Robin Williams’ Keating in Dead Poets Society pushes his students to be who they want to be.ĭead Poets Society is one of those deeply impactful films that take you back to your school and college days and makes you wish that you had a teacher like Keating. Just like you can love Mohabbatein for Shah Rukh Khan’s lover boy act but not for the plot that he gets in the film.
You can surely love Mohabbatein for Jatin-Lalit’s melodious tunes but not for that godforsaken skit that Anupam Kher and Archana Puran Singh put on as some kind of comic act. Or when Shamita Shetty’s Ishika has some strange ‘hotness competition’ with a woman named Sonya but a heroic Uday Chopra leaves her disarmed with his supposed charm (I never thought Uday Chopra and charm would fall in the same sentence but I guess that’s what YRF wanted us to believe 21 years ago). Like when Kim Sharma acts way too much and says “Sameer, mujhe apni baahon mein le lo” to Jugal Hansraj, you can’t help but exasperate at their childish antics. Mohabbatein is rewatched for the cringe that provides some unintentional laughs. It is remembered for the simple nostalgic days when we were fooled into believing that Uday Chopra was the next-gen superstar and Preeti Jhangiani’s Kiran was a child bride with the most intense track in the film. But let’s be honest, one doesn’t rewatch Mohabbatein for its cinematic excellence.
Raj Aryan’s students are just some unlucky bystanders as he settles scores with Narayan Shankar.ĭon’t get me wrong! I grew up on “Pairon Mein Bandhan Hain” and loved the moment when SRK picked up the dhol in his black jacket, made mean eyes at Amitabh Bachchan’s Narayan Shankar and sang “Duniya Mein Kitni Hain Nafratein” with the resolve of punishing the old man who is responsible for his lovers’ death.

If you have seen both, you can’t help but question that how a coming-of-age drama like Dead Poets Society, where the teacher is encouraging his students to find their voice, to stand up for themselves, and to follow their passion is translated into Shah Rukh Khan’s Raj Aryan who instigates the students to break free out of the college gate and fall in love with the first woman they meet and sacrifice their educational prospects in the process. In case you didn’t know, Aditya Chopra directed Mohabbatein was ‘inspired by’ Peter Weir’s 1989 film, Dead Poets Society.
