Yeh Dillagi (transl. This Cheerfulness) is a 1994 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy-drama film directed by Naresh Malhotra and produced by Yash Chopra for his production company Yash Raj Films. Based on the 1954 American film Sabrina (itself based on Samuel A. Taylor's 1953 play Sabrina Fair), its story revolves on two brothers (Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan) who both fall in love with their family driver's daughter, Sapna (Kajol), a successful model.
Yeh Dillagi released on 6 May 1994, and emerged as a commercial success, grossing ₹10.8 crore against its ₹1.6 crore budget. It received positive reviews from critics upon release, with particular praise for Kajol's performance.
At the 40th Filmfare Awards, Yeh Dillagi received 4 nominations – Best Actor (Kumar), Best Actress (Kajol), Best Music Director (Dilip Sen, Sameer Sen) and Best Male Playback Singer (Abhijeet for the song "Ole Ole"). The film was later remade in Telugu as Priya O Priya.
