Two men who travelled with her beat him down senseless though that makes him become [[Stalker with 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.

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.

Line 29:
* [[Love Hurts]]: {{spoiler|And sometimes kills.}}
* [[Love Makes You Crazy]]: And how.
* [[Love Redeems]]: Subverted.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Meghna means storm. Amar means eternal. Pretty sounds like Preity, the actress who plays the part.

* [[White Shirt of Death]]: featured in one of the song and dance numbers.
* [[Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters]]: The terrorists/insurgents are shown ambiguously. On the one hand, they are shown to have legitimate grievances. On the other hand, they use violence and suicidal methods that harm themselves and people around them.
