Dil To Pagal Hai was the story of Rahul (played by Shah Rukh Khan), a dance troupe director who searches for a lead female dancer to make his show perfect. He zeroes in on Maya/Pooja (played by Madhuri) and falls in love with her, ignoring his friend Nisha (played by Karisma) who is a pretty good dancer herself. The love triangle, full of jealousy, great songs and dance made the film one of the greatest Yash Chopra films ever.
