4/10
Moral of the story: To get your ex-love back 'Drink And Drive'.

Warning: Spoilers
The tagline says, "when the past connects" which is justified by the fact that some past tried-and-tested formulas connects the scattered storyline of this caper.

It's the usual boy meets girl start. Needless to add, love blooms at first sight. The boy – Jai (Rampal) proposes. Alas the girl – Tia (ever heard such a name?) is already booked by Raj (Priyanshu). Jai still keeps trying but Tia marries Raj and multiplies. RUMpal, drinks and drives and gets only Raj and Tia's car to crash in. Raj dies and Tia suffers from the regular memory loss syndrome, something that follows after each Bollywood accident. Jai takes charge of Tia's family and eventually girl starts loving boy. Moral of the story: To get your ex-love back 'Drink And Drive'.

Mommy Rai's obsession for scripting bears faint resemblance with Tum Bin, which in turn was a spin-off on Gulzar's Kinara. Nadeem Shravan's tunes are passable but Kumar Sanu hissing hay hay hay in the background whenever the cupid strikes is somewhat irritating.

Ash acts very unnatural, carrying a plastic smile throughout. Surprisingly Arjun Rampal, improves shaking off his wooden image. Isha Koppikar is wasted for there's no scope for an item number. Priyanshu's bit though sweet, is so short that by the end of the flick the audience tends to say bhaisaab, aapko pehle bhi kahin dekha hai.

To sum up, Dil Ka Rishta fails to bond a strong relation with your heart.
