  1. ^ Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They recognize several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

Dil Chahta Hai (transl.The Heart Desires) is a 2001 Indian Hindi-language coming-of-age comedy-drama written and directed by Farhan Akhtar, and produced by Ritesh Sidhwani under Excel Entertainment.[1] Depicting the routine life of Indian affluent youth, it focuses on a transition period in the romantic lives of three college-graduate friends (Aamir Khan, Saif Ali Khan, and Akshaye Khanna).[2] The film also stars Preity Zinta, Sonali Kulkarni, and Dimple Kapadia.[3] The soundtrack was composed by the trio Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy,[4] with lyrics from Javed Akhtar. Farah Khan was the choreographer, and A. Sreekar Prasad was the editor.[1]

The film premiered on 10 August 2001 and received widespread critical acclaim,[5][6] Made on a production cost of 80 million (US$1.0 million),[7] it performed moderately at the box office grossing 397.2 million (US$5.0 million).[5] Although the film succeeded commercially in metropolitan areas, it did not do so among rural audiences due to the city-oriented lifestyle depicted in the film.[8][9]

Dil Chahta Hai won 26 awards out of 53 nominations; the direction, the performances of the cast, the story, and the screenplay garnered the most attention from various award groups. At the 49th National Film Awards, the film received two trophies including Best Feature Film in Hindi. It was nominated in thirteen categories at the 47th Filmfare Awards, including Best Film, Best Director (Farhan Akhtar), Best Actor (Aamir Khan), and won seven, including Best Film (Critics), Best Supporting Actor (Khanna), and Best Comedian (Saif Ali Khan).
