Amar Varma, an Indian Journalist and a [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]] investigates a terrorist group in a troubled part of North-Eastern India aflame with insurgency and meets a [[Troubled but Cute]] Meghna with a [[Dark and Troubled Past]] at a railway station. He [[Love At First Sight|falls in love with her]] and is persistent in chasing her even after [[Selective Obliviousness|her repeated rebuffs]]. Two men who travelled with her beat him down senseless though that makes him become [[Stalker Withwith a Crush|obsessively enamored of her]]. The two get stranded after their bus breaks down and they slowly start to fall in love. Meghna leaves him one night and is not heard of again. She visits him in Delhi however when she hears about his engagement with Preeti. When she comes to Delhi, Amar discovers that Meghna is a [[Broken Bird]] who is part of a Terrorist Group planning on carrying a suicide attack on the Prime Minister.
 
Dil Se is the third movie of Mani Ratnam's trilogy that deals with India's War on Terror, [[Culture Clash]] and its concerns on terrorism and domestic instability. In contrast to the first two movies of his trilogy, it is first and foremost a love story. It is known mostly for fantastic songs from A.R. Rahman, including [[The Item Number|Chaiya Chaiya]] and features an [[Anvilicious]] number of Tropes.
