"It had to happen. Priya would've ditched you one day. You know why? Because she didn't love you. She loved some other Sameer. He looked just like you, but he was someone else. You're not that Sameer. You're this Sameer - the one Sid and I know, and the one Priya only hopes to know. If you became Priya's Sameer, our Sameer would be the loser."

"In 2001, ... It was possible, perhaps for the first time since India’s independence from Great Britain in 1947, to be a young, economically independent professional in India.... “Dil Chahta Hai” is about that new generation."

"Rohit: You don't recognise your brother Rohit?"

"Nandini: You want to talk to Sameer, but you're calling up Siddharth! How are you?"

"[to Sameer] This is Akash's magic, Uncle Sam! It has never failed."

"All relationships begin with smiles and end in tears."

"When Dil Chahta Hai was released, Bollywood was only beginning to change, and viewers were looking for stories that were more accessible and realistic. The movie deviated from typical storylines and offered a novel viewpoint that appealed to urban adolescents in the early 2000s."

"Ayub Khan as Rohit"

"Close your eyes, Akash. Think about that person, for whom you're willing to sacrifice all eternity. Just to spend a single day with them. Who is that?"

"[about Subodh] He's not that bad!"

"You only like wham-bam action films. Anyway, those are the ones you'll understood. Because you don't need brains or a heart to enjoy them."

"[about Sid's paintings] The door is closed, so no one can enter. The box is tightly shut, so no one can steal anything. And those eyes, who knows what emotions lie behind them? I wonder what other things your paintings are trying to hide... maybe about yourself."

"You think I sit on a pillow everyday?"

"Life is very strange. Some relationships don't have labels. Siddharth, you and me... will always... [dies]"
