Darr (1993)

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

This film is worth seeing primarily for its historical significance. Hindi films generally have very limited story lines, so a new addition, that of the obsessive lover, is noteworthy. Currently however, the film is clearly overlong and Sunny Deol is too stiff. Juhi is stunningly beautiful and her effervescence is a joy to watch. Shahrukh's intensity still works although he overacts towards the end in an overblown climax. While some songs should have been cut, the song "Tu mere Saamne" remains a treat. The film is worth a watch at least on television/DVD.Overall 6/10

Darr tells the story of two young men Sunil (Sunny Deol) & Rahul (Shahrukh Khan) who both loves a woman called Kiran (Juhi Chawla). But Kiran only love Sunil and so all through the love story Rahul would be willing to do anything, harmful or useful in order to win Kiran heart. He would try his luck all the time but it fails. He even attack Sunil a couple of times such as failing his car brakes, try to shoot him & he even try to stab Sunil to death. But Sunil was very clever in capturing his enemy (Rahul). He got hold of this cleverness since he worked in the navy. All the time Rahul try to win Kiran heart, she keep fearing him & also fears for her lover Sunil.

This was Bollywood's answer to Fatal attraction and this is a classic film in its own right. Juhi Chawla was good and so was Sunny Deol but it was Shah Rukh Khan who shot to fame as the stalker. Since then he has become a favourite of the Chopra's (Dilwale Dulhaniya le Jayenge, Mohhabatein, Dil to pagal hai, Veer Zaara and Chak De India). Shah Rukh at first appears to be a villain but then towards the end you start to sympathize with him. The scripting was superb and the songs were chartbusters. My favourites are Too mere samne and Jaadu teri nazar.After the dismal failure of the underrated Lamhe Yash Chopra fought back with Darr. The dialogues were memorable, the k..k..Kiran dialogue is often repeated. Since Darr Yash Chopra has slipped bit. Dil to pagal hai was bad but he redeemed himself slightly with Veer Zaara, which was far far better. This was Yash Chopra's last masterpiece.

Darr was a Super Hit film, which was loved by many peoples. It tells the story of Shahrukh Khans innocent obsession for Juhi, who loves Sunny Deol. Honestly it was a entertaining movie, but if you look carefully its not too realistic. Shahrukh Khan keeps phoning Juhi and tells her that he loves her too bits. He gives an announcement in college that he Loves her, and gives her some nice surprises like beautiful photos of her. Unfortunately, instead of being flattered that a guy loves her too bits, she gets very very scared. I personally know 100s of people that get pranked by someone, and these people enjoy it, cos they play a long. Yash Chopra gives us a good film that does entertain, widely because of Shah Rukh Khan's character. Sunny Deol is suppose to be the main actor, but Darr belongs to Shah Rukh Khan delivering a Superb performance. Shah rukh Khan is literally the villain of the movie, but i would of been happy if he got the girl, because he loves her so dearly. Sunny Deol gives a decent performance, but he beats up all those guys on his own, and survives a brutal knife attack. Juhi Chawla is cute as ever in a fairly good performance. Some good songs including Tu mere samne being the best.
