"Yeh Dil Aap Ka Huwa" (Urdu: یہ دِل آپ کا ہوا) is a 2002 Pakistani Urdu film starring Sana, Moammar Rana and Saleem Sheikh among others. It was directed by Javed Sheikh and ran successfully in theaters across Pakistan. The film's soundtrack composed by Amjad Bobby was a raging success prior to its release.

Plot

The film revolves around romance. There is logic to sudden, first sight love. Moammar Rana, a young Pakistani living in the West has unidentified yearnings for eastern culture; he probably does not recognize them himself. Sana has no such compulsion. She smiles and ignores, but surrenders when the amorous vibrations towards her are registered and touch her heart.

Technical values are excellent, indeed a few notches higher. Facilitated by well-defined character delineation, casting is near perfect. Jawed wisely avoids a youthful outing and casts himself as a devoted elder brother who would protect his sibling at any cost. He has no hesitation surrendering his ego when his principles and the younger brother's interests are at odds. But the opponent lives by a code of arrogance. He extends boardroom differences, business rivalry and rigid ness of attitude to human relations. A clash becomes unavoidable.

Javed Sheikh] has come a long way from the naturally romantic and mischievously smiling extrovert to being a thoughtful performer of measured eloquence and expression synthesizing with the screen character. His is a sterling performance of truly international class as actor in YDAKH that can be favorably compared with the work of more celebrated foreign artists who are patriotically backed by the adoring media of their country. Javed has reached his present level mostly, if not entirely on his own, despite specially put up road blocks.enlarge picture

The mustached character is Babar Ali. What is this winsome young man doing in the garb of a villain when he should be jumping up and down gardens or specially designed sets with some leading lady? Our film industry has forced him to evil appearances. He has displayed impressive ability to deliver what is actually not his forte. Babar Ali's villainy in YDAKH is a way of life, seething anger as against shouting and brawling that he is required to deliver in most of his other outings.

Moammar and Salim Sheikh are custom-made as care free friends and excel in transformations. Salim's is in fact a superb turn from a happy-go-lucky, affectionate individual to a venom spitting person. Except for his recent Ghazi Ilm in Shaheed, one thought Moammar Rana was loitering in the wrong street. He does very well under the guidance of Jawed Sheikh. But the director faulted in casting Moammar in his own image of earlier years. Javed used to get away with over acting as a brash young man - there are times when Momi has a problem distinguishing between major and minor notes. Still, he is far superior in YDAKH than in any of his previous outings and the film should prove take off point for his career.

Pakistani cinema has heroes, heroines, artists for senior characters, mothers, aunts, humorists. But the department of youngish women who can be cast in small but vital roles is totally deserted. YDAKH has charming Zoha of the small screen playing the role of Babar Ali's wife in an accomplished manner. She brings poise and cultured presence to her debut on the big screen. One hopes that the film industry, inimical though it is to the entery of a certain type of people, utilizes her services.
