Alia Bhatt starred in a black comedy film and impressed the audience, yet again, with her acting prowess. In the 2022 movie directed by Jasmeet K.

Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam is a classic romance film that almost every cinephile has watched. The 1999 drama showcases a love triangle that is hit by unexpected twists at every turn.
