Amarkant
Varma
is
one
of
Shah
Rukh's
most
memorable
characters
of
all
time.
Hair
that
falls
on
his
forehead,
a
red
sweatshirt,
a
flirty
smile
that
never
leaves
his
face,
and
an
infectious
amount
of
enthusiasm,
all
come
to
one's
mind
when
we
think
of
Dil
Se.
Amar
is
a
fun,
energetic,
and
adventurous
radio
jockey,
who
is
a
natural
storyteller.
He
arrives
at
Assam
as
part
of
his
job,
and
on
his
way,
he
meets
the
most
beautiful
woman
he
has
ever
met
in
his
life,
Meghna.
It's
highly
unlikely
that
one
doesn't
know
of
the
iconic
scene
where
Amar
meets
Meghna,
but
then
it's
such
a
pleasure
to
even
think
of
that
scene,
and
I
want
to
describe
it.
Amar
is
at
the
railway
station,
waiting
for
his
train
to
Assam.
It's
a
cold
night,
and
the
station
is
dark
and
windy.
Amar
hugs
himself,
shivering
from
the
weather,
and
he
spots
someone
covered
in
a
black
blanket,
at
a
little
distance
from
him.
He
walks
up
to
the
person,
and
asks
for
matches,
to
light
up
his
cigarette.
He
doesn't
get
a
response,
and
the
blanket
tries
to
escape
the
person's
hold.
Meghna
catches
it
back
looking
at
Amar,
who
is
extremely
smitten
by
her
looks.
He
tries
to
start
a
conversation
with
her
and
asks
if
he
can
get
her
something.
She
asks
for
a
glass
of
tea.
She
looks
bewildered
and
nervous,
and
Amar's
heart
melts
away.
He
runs
eagerly
to
find
a
tea
shop
nearby.
The
shopkeeper
is
sleeping,
and
Amar
wakes
him
up
and
orders
two
glasses
of
tea.
He
hears
the
whistling
of
a
train
and
rushes
back
with
the
glasses
in
his
hand,
and
it
starts
raining.
He
reaches
the
platform
and
sees
that
she
had
boarded
the
train,
with
a
few
others.
Disappointed,
thrilled,
excited,
and
amused,
Amar
watches
her
pass
by.
He
yells
"Oye,
Matches" and
she
turns
her
head
to
see
him.
A
smile
spreads
on
his
face
and
water
drops
fall
into
the
tea.
And
the
scene
slowly
fades
into
the
pre-lude
of
the
Chayya
Chayya
song.
The
dreamy
nature
of
the
scene
carries
throughout
the
film.
Amar
somehow
finds
her
again
and
initially
stalks
her
assuming
that
she
likes
him
and
she
is
just
not
comfortable
with
him
yet.
They
go
back
and
forth
with
lies
and
conflicts
until
they
drift
apart
eventually.
He
then
meets
another
girl,
Preeti,
who
loves
him
and
gets
along
with
him
well.
As
Amar
slowly
starts
preparing
himself
to
accept
Preeti
in
his
life
and
agrees
to
marry
her,
Meghna
comes
back.
She
comes
back
with
secrets
and
plans
and
Amar
finds
out
her
intentions.
They
also
realize
how
much
they
love
each
other.
And
the
film
ends
with
whom
he
ends
up
with,
and
what
happens
to
Meghna's
plans.
The
film
worked
primarily
because
of
how
attractive
and
charming
the
leads
were,
especially
Shah
Rukh.
His
laugh
and
his
pleasant
energy
could
lift
you
up
from
the
worst
mood
swings,
and
the
film
remains
a
classic
romance
from
Indian
Cinema.
If
you
haven't
watched
it,
go
watch
the
film.
It's
available
on
Netflix.
