Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, released internationally as Straight From the Heart, is a Hindi romantic drama directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The film features a star-studded cast including Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn, and Aishwarya Rai, and is based on the play Shetal ne Kathe by Rashtriyashayar Jhaverchand Meghani. It tells the poignant story of a newlywed man who learns that his wife is in love with another man and resolves to unite them. The film is also loosely inspired by Maitreyi Devi’s Bengali novel Na Hanyate, although it does not credit this source.
