Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin (English:The heart doesn't understand) is a 1991 Indian Hindi romantic drama film. It was produced by Gulshan Kumar, directed by Mahesh Bhatt and starred his daughter Pooja Bhatt in her first major lead female role. The lead male role was played by Aamir Khan. Deepak Tijori made a special appearance. Supporting roles were played by Anupam Kher, Sameer Chitre and Tiku Talsania.

It is an unofficial remake of the 1934 Hollywood film It Happened One Night which was previously adapted in Hindi as Chori Chori . The movie revolves around a spoilt heiress who runs away from home to marry a gold-digging film star. En route she is helped by a smart-alecky journalist only to end up falling for him.

The movie was box office success and earned a 'HIT' verdict thus boosted Pooja Bhatt's career as she was a newcomer at that point of time. The film was remade in Tamil as Kadhal Rojavae (2000).

Pooja Dharamchand (Pooja Bhatt) is the daughter of a rich Mumbai shipping tycoon, Seth Dharamchand (Anupam Kher). She is head-over-heels in love with movie star Deepak Kumar (Sameer Chitre), but her father strongly disapproves of their courtship. One night, Pooja escapes from her father's yacht and hops onto a bus to Bangalore to be with Deepak, who is shooting for a film there. Meanwhile, Seth Dharamchand, realizing his daughter has run away, dispatches private detectives to locate her.

Aboard the bus, Pooja meets Raghu Jetley (Aamir Khan), a loud-mouth journalist who has just lost his job. He offers to help her in exchange for an exclusive story on her, which would revive his flagging career. Pooja is forced to agree to his demands, as he threatens to let her father know of her whereabouts should she not comply. After the bus breaks down, Raghu and Pooja go through various adventures together and find themselves falling in love with one another. Raghu desires to marry Pooja, but knows that financially he is in no shape to do so. He simply wanted a story on her life and never wanted to win her heart. Pooja also falls for Raghu and she decides to go with him, but a misunderstanding leads her to believe that Raghu was just looking for a story and not her love.
