Dillagi (Hindi: दिल्लगी) is a 1999 Bollywood film directed by Sunny Deol and also starring Sunny Deol alongside his real-life brother Bobby Deol and Urmila Matondkar. The film was a box office flop but Deol's first attempt at directing was appreciated.

The film is noted for being the first time Sunny Deol directed a film and also the first time he acted alongside his brother Bobby. This pairing was repeated in 23rd March 1931: Shaheed (2002), Apne (2007) and Yamla Pagla Deewana (2011), Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 (2013).

Rajvir (Bobby Deol) and Ranvir (Sunny Deol) are devoted brothers. They along with their parents leave their village in Punjab to move to Mumbai. When their mother passes away, Ranvir takes on the responsibility of looking after his younger brother. After some hardship Ranvir manages to turn everything around and he becomes really wealthy. Rajvir on the other hand lives recklessly and without a care in the world.

Both brothers find love with Shalini (Urmila Matondkar). Happy for Rajvir, Ranvir arranges the marriage. Unfortunately he later finds out that he has arranged Rajvir's marriage with the person he (Ranvir) loves. Rajvir must decide what is more important, the brother who has cared for him and given him everything all these years or his love.

Dillagi features music composed by a number of directors, including Jatin-Lalit, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Anand-Milind, and Sukhwinder Singh. The music got a positive review with a huge compilation of singers including Mahendra Kapoor, Kumar Sanu, Amit Kumar, Abhijeet, Udit Narayan, Sonu Nigam, KK Roop Kumar Rathod, Sukhwinder Singh, Shankar Mahadevan, Shaan, Kavita Krishnamurthy, Alka Yagnik, Jaspinder Narula, Mahalaxmi Iyer, Mohini Brahmbhatt and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. The Title song Dillagi assembles ten finest singers to render their voice together but was not picturised accordingly like Title song of Mela and Apna Bombay Talkies.
