Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam is a wonderful film and good acting. Aishwariya Rai's performance was astonishing and it proved to everyone she can act. Salman Khan's performance was good aswell who put on the comedy for us. Ajay devgan has proved yet again what a good actor he is. Helen doesn't do a bad job as Salman Khan's mum.

The film is about Sameer (Salman Khan), a half Indian/half Italian who wants to learn singing from a famous classical singer and while he's there he falls in love with his daughter, Nandini (Aishwariya Rai) and the two fall in love. meanwhile a guy called Vanraj (Ajay Devgan) sees Nandini performing and falls in love with her and asks for her hand in marriage and her parents say yes but then after they realize about Sameer's and Nandini's love affair, they hit the roof and arrange Vanraj's and Nandini's wedding straight away and so Sameer is sent back home to Italy and Nandini becomes really depressed and the two are heart broken.

Vanraj and Nandini get married and Vanraj realizes that she's not enthusiastic on their wedding night and later realizes she's very cold with him and realizes why and because he loves her so much he's prepared to sacrifice his love and goes to Italy to reunite the lovers and while they're in Italy they try hunting around for Sameer but have no picture of him. later Nandini is sent to hospital after being shot by some theives and Vanraj has no money so sacrifices his wedding ring to pay for her treatment and Nandini suddenly changes and starts wearing Sindoor for him. Vanraj and Sameer meet and they become good friends not realizing Sameer is the guy he's looking for. The time comes for Nandini to meet Sameer at one of his shows and How will she react? will she have spent too much time with Vanraj to forget about Sameer or will she ride off into the sunset with Sameer?

Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam is great and has colour in it and Aishwariya Rai's outfits look lovely and Ajay Devgan's and Salman Khan's acting is superb! over all this film deserves a 9.5 out of 10.
