In Mela, Twinkle Khanna plays the central protagonist. The movie begins with the title song Mela Dilon Ka. The song is shown in black and white. The story revolves around Rupa (Twinkle Khanna) who is a beautiful village girl. Flop hero Ayub Khan is her brother who plays an army officer in a special appearance. The story takes a sudden turn when Rupa's brother is brutally murdered by the local dacoit Gujjar Singh (Tinnu Verma). Gujjar Singh then sets his eyes on Twinkle Khanna and kidnaps her. Kishen (Aamir) plays a character who is a jolly good fellow and who has always had an obsession to be a nautanki actor. Shankar (Faisal) on the other hand is the strong silent type, who always dissuades Kishen from falling into the trap of girls. But that’s nothing new for Bollywood films. Heroine has to fall in love with the hero. So, Rupa runs into Kishen and Shankar and rest is like watching fun-filled nautanki. Rupa uses Kishen's vulnerability to seek Kishen and Shankar's help to take revenge from Gujjar Singh. But story takes one more turn when Aamir comes to know the truth, but film has to end, all the misunderstanding gets sorted out. Aamir is at his usual best of playing a brat. He has once again shown that he works hard to get into the skin of his character. But his brother Faisal has once again failed. He looks good only in the fighting scenes. Twinkle looks pretty nice and she plays her part well as a girl who is victimized by fate. Anu Malik has given good music. Mela Dilon Ka is the best of the lot. Chori Chori Gori Se, Dekho 2000 Zamana Aa Gaya, Dhadkan Mein Tum and Kamariya Lachke Re are also becoming popular. This is another typical Dharmesh Darshan commercial blockbuster that will attract the masses. But may not be as hit as his earlier super hit Raja Hindustani.</b><!--EndFreetext--> <p> </body> </html>
