Darr

Plot synopsis:
The film begins with Kiran (Juhi Chawla), a college student, returning home for Holi celebrations and being obsessively stalked along the way by Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan), her classmate who has a crush on her.

Sunil's Captain Mehra (Dalip Tahil) is also the father of Rahul. Rahul tries to be friendly with Sunil in order to be closer to Kiran.
When Kiran reaches her brother Vijay's (Anupam Kher) home, she is continually stalked by Rahul on the phone. This causes much stress to herself and her family. He crashes Kiran's family's Holi celebrations incognito as a member of the band. Sunil asks Kiran to offer the band some money for their performance, where Rahul, veiled in Holi colours, whispers "I love you, K-K-K-Kiran" to Kiran, which disturbs her greatly and a foot chase ensues to find the hooligan who's invaded their house, but Rahul soon disappears into the crowd.

Review:
Mercifully, Yash Chopra's interpretation of "Sleeping with the Enemy" is an extremely stylish and well-made films.Shah Rukh Khan is obsessed with Juhi Chawla (who's looking her very best in here!).
When he realizes that Juhi has a fiance in Sunny Deol, he stops at nothing to make sure she becomes his.Every frame of this film is a delight to watch.
Whether it's Shah Rukh chanting his trademark "I love you, K...k...k...kiran!" or the feel-good mushy scenes between Sunny and Juhi (who make a perfect match), you won't feel like leaving your eat in boredom.Each and every song on the soundtrack is ear pleasing, especially Jaadu Teri Nazar and Tu Mere Samne.
Darr may not be SRK's best film (that honor goes to Baazigar), but it definitely figures as one of his most flawless performances!
He's done similar roles before, but he's good.Overall, Darr is g...g...g...great!
I generally love SRK as a villain (how can you not?) and I believe that SRK and Juhi are a perfect match on screen as they both are actually more nice than pretty.This movie is great to watch, although it has some major flaws: 1) the good guy (Sunny) - not only he's so much less attractive than Shahrukh(what in my opinion is soooooo important in Bollyfilms) but his role lacks character - it would be much better if there was a conflict between two strong personalities, instead we have a conflict between a personality and an average soldier 2) Kiran's and Sunil's reactions for Rahul's actions are unbelievably silly and naive even for a Bollywood production But all this is not that important in comparison with the wonderful melodramatic atmosphere, great songs (really truly great)and (let's say it again) Shahrukh as a villain, I just love him when he's so pagalA must-see (along with Anjaam, Baazigar and Duplicate).
One of Shahrukh Khan's BEST movies.
This movie is just brilliant, SRK's acting is just amazing, the end is so incredibly sad, I cry every time I see this film, it's the kind you never get sick of, and can see again and again, an absolutely amazingly brilliant movie..
this movie is such a good movie shah ruck khan does a great job as the crazy mad villain who is totally obsessed withthe girl the story is fantastic the acting by allcharacters like the girl and shah ruck and Sunny are all fabulous and i really love the first song especially how it comes back at the end oh and its so emotional if your a true shah ruck khan fan you have gotta watch this movie because its the best shah ruck khan movie ever he plays an excellent role and i wish he done more crazy man roles but u have to watch this what so ever this is a really good movie this is a really good movie you have to watch it it is truly amazing you have to watch it it is fabulous i can go on and on about this movie because it is a fun funny scary cool and totally fantastic movie in the world.
Juhi Chawla was good and so was Sunny Deol but it was Shah Rukh Khan who shot to fame as the stalker.
My favourites are Too mere samne and Jaadu teri nazar.After the dismal failure of the underrated Lamhe Yash Chopra fought back with Darr.
I have seen many of Shahrukh's movies and this is a very good role for him.
I think this movie was very good and recommend it to all Shahrukh Khan fans.
Darr is not a mere psychopathic movie it is actually a real portrayal of obsession.The movie is about a boy who is obsessed for a girl.The story was unique as this topic has never been explored in Indian cinema.It was not a copy of any Hollywood flick,it was just inspired from it.The screenplay was good and its flow was smooth.The film could have been shorter.1st half of the movie was lousy but 2nd half was good.The movie also memorable for Shahrukh's performance.He was great.This is among the best performances of his career.His body language,expressions,vibration of his sound everything was superb.This movie proves why he is called the king khan.Sunny was usual doing what he does.He was average.The way in which he carries out the rescue mission in the beginning of the movie was too bad.Juhi was good and acted well.Anupam was nice and provided the much needed comic relief.Music was good especially the title song was so charming.But placement of songs in the movie was bad.Locations are good.The movie needs a serious editing and could have been shorter.Yash ji was a great director and this movie proves it yet again.It is a must watch for cinema lovers.
The movie is a very good movie.one of the best from Yash raj films.The direction is incredible.The screenplay is brilliant.The story is excellent.It tells about Rahul who is obssed of Kiran his college friend.He is a full blown psycho doing things like talking to his mother on a phone(anyway she died 15 years back) etc.Kiran is engaged to Sunil.Rahul does everything so he can get her.He even trys to kill Sunil but he survives it.He even goes to the place where they are going to their honeymoon.The movie is every nes delight.Shahrukh is superb,Juhi is fairly good,Sunny is average,Anupham is okay and so is Tanvi,Dalip did good.The movie belongs to Srk.The dialogues are brilliant(Shahrukh ones and a lot if not the overacting and comedy)."Jaadu Teri Nazar" and "Tu Mere Samne" are absolutely melodious tracks..
I hope I don't insult anybody (because basically, the BF and I loved it!) but we couldn't take it half as seriously as the actors did - especially the obsessed one (who, I understand, is a huge Bollywood star because we've seen him on the cover of lots of dvds since and i even saw a doll of him today in Hamleys!!
Darr, although a copy of some Hollywood flick, is one of the best films I have seen.
Sunny was intended to be portrayed as the good guy in the film but ends up looking like the villain at the end.
Srk proves he is the best in bollywood.Awesome film.
The story is good.Nice direction.Awesome and terrifying acting by Srk.Juhi chawla and Sunny deol acted OK in their roles.But one thing for sure SRK proves he is the best in bollywood and no one can beat him and take his place.Nice songs especially jaado teri nazar.Brilliant screenplay.Srk stammering expression and his psychological display of being obsessed really shows us why he is called king khan the king of bollywood.But the end is very incredibly sad.Overall a must watch film for the brilliant performance by Srk..
Darr is an brilliant movie..It is 1 of my favourite films..SRK has done a mind blowing job in the movie....this role couldn't have been played by anyone else because this type of role only suits SRK...SRK plays a mental villain in the film..SRK's performance in this movie is the best performance ever in boll wood...SRK deserves an honour and an encouraging appeal for his fantastic performance...Juhi also delivers an excellent performance..Sunny Deol looked strong and physically fit in the film...
Darr is probably the best movie that the great combo of ShahRukh and Yash Chopra stable has provided.
Though Sunny Deol was supposed to be the lead role, and the Shah plays the baddie, by the end of movie, it is only Shahrukh who steals all the limelight.
Sunny Deol's role made the "good guy" role seem like the "bad guy" one.
Watch this movie just to see Shahrukh Khan say "I love you,K-k-Kiran..." It's both heartbreaking and frightening at the same time when he says this, from the beginning to the end.
This movie made him famous, and I totally recommend it :D It's highly entertaining, the music's wicked and you will laugh right along with Shahrukh here...You'll genuinely feel scared for the hero and heroine and oddly enough you will identify with at least one of the characters.
Go see this classic Bollywood movie with your good buddies and some lovely food and have a day in.
This is brilliant movie very entertaining and excellent story-line great songs I like that song jaddu TERe nazar and Tu mere saamneOther music song tracks were worth watching and listening Shahrukh khan was superb in his negative role I loved his performance he is the real show steal-erHe truly steals the show sunny deol is the perfect hero it was brilliant to see these superstars in this blockbuster movie Judi did fine anupam was hilarious as always If your a SRK or Sunny fan go watch this movie.
It still had cheesy classic Yash Chopra love, good music, some clichés, some cheesy scenes, and other things like that.
But really SRK helps you to forget about that.Overall, I think this is a pretty good film to watch, especially if you are a Shah Rukh Khan fan.
Sure, it "borrows" ideas from Psycho fairly liberally, and by now it's effects are fairly cheesy, but still, Darr is a great film to watch by any standard.Darr is one of those rare Yash Chopra films (and the beginning of the great association of Shahrukh Khan with Yash Raj films) that brings violence and the more obsessive type of love into the picture of your typical Bollywood romance.
The action scenes are few and far between, and yet this is one of the darkest and bloodiest Hindi films of the early 90's.Shahrukh Khan assays the role of stuttering stalker Rahul Mehra pursuing the lovely Kiran (Juhi Chawla), who is already engaged to the dull as dishwater, but very sane and predictable Sunil Malhotra (Sunny Deol).
All of this feels very basic on paper, but on reality the combination of these three characters is dynamite on screen.Unintentionally I am sure (no one would intentionally portray themselves as a bore when they are supposed to be the hero of the film), Sunny Deol is in great part to thank for the magic that is Darr.
While Shahrukh takes to the obsessive and yet very sympathetic victim with aplomb, Deol's performance as the tired and somewhat old (even back then) Sunil is one that really drives you into Shahrukh's arms right from the first frame.In an odd twist of logic the character played by Sunny (Deol has been a fine actor in other films so this is not an attack on his character) almost forces the viewer to take Shahrukh Khan's point of view when it comes to Kiran.
In consequence, despite the admittedly awful things that Rahul does throughout the film, in a very eerie and disconcerting way, one begins to cheer for Shahrukh's character to not only win the girl, but also to triumph over Sunil in every way possible.Such a powerful emotional impulse is bound to be given credit, and I have to give it where it is due.
Just to make sure that Juhi Chawla is not left out, I do have to mention that, as in her previous work such as Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, Juhi gives a star performance as the cute if somewhat vapid college student and object of Rahul's desire.I strongly recommend anyone to watch this film, even if they are not entirely familiar with Bollywood.
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.
Shahrukh Khan keeps phoning Juhi and tells her that he loves her too bits.
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.
Juhi Chawla is cute as ever in a fairly good performance.
Some good songs including Tu mere samne being the best..
This is one of the films (along with Baazigar - a must see Bollywood film) that made Shah Rukh Khan and it's for this you have to check it out.Other reviews give away the story - it is a fairly basic idea - ShaRukh definitely stands out and one of his final expressions right at the end made me give this film an extra star.Its fairly cheesy but definitely worth watching if you are new to Bollywood or not!
Darr tells the story of two young men Sunil (Sunny Deol) & Rahul (Shahrukh Khan) who both loves a woman called Kiran (Juhi Chawla).
this new attempt of Yash Chopra of making villains out of heroes is satisfactory.Both heroes of the movie, Shah Rukh and Sunny Deol benefited tremendously from this film that will decide their career in the future.
Sunny will make more movies where he'll play heroes with intense action like in Jo Bhole So Nihaal while Shah Rukh will use a lot of stuttering in his next films.
Yash Chopra is the filmmaker who is instrumental in the success of Amitabh who gave him several great films like DEEWAAR, TRISHUL, KABHIE KABHIE, KAALA PATTHAR and SILSILA and then he made some craps till CHANDNI(1989) and LAMHE(1991) which were good films DARR was the first film starring Shahrukh Khan in a Yashraj filmThe film released in 1993 when Shahrukh Khan also starred in a negative role in BAAZIGAR and Sanjay Dutt played a villain in KHALNAYAK in the same yearDARR is an obsessive love story, The film sort of made the track famous Amitabh had played an obsessive lover in PARWANA(1971) which was a flop DARR brought it back with a bangThe film keeps you on the edge throughout, Sunny-Juhi portions are sweet but the best part is Srk's character which is brilliantly handled Though at times the film does get sort of clichéd/filmy and some scenes do seem filmy but yet the film is well handledOn the flipside, there are times when the film tends to veer towards scenes that look far-fetched, like the climax when a stabbed Sunny suddenly appears in the middle of the sea and bashes SRK Also the film tends to drag in some places Yash Chopra does a brilliant job Music by Shiv Hari is fab, be it TU HAI MERI KIRAN, TU MERE SAAMNE which became a rage and made Udit Srk's voice Or the romantic DARWAZA BAND KARLOAmongst actors Sunny plays the typical hero and is refreshingly low-key but his role lacks the meat which resulted in him being angry on Yash Chopra He felt he was cheated by the director Surprisingly in the same year Sunny stole the show in a DAMINI from Rishi Kapoor though having a guest role Juhi looks ravishing and does a good job Shahrukh Khan steals the show with a brilliant portrayal, be it his stammer, or his cold expressions he is superb In fact he was raw those days but that made him much more identifiable then today Amongst rest Anupam Kher is hilarious, like in LAMHE while Tanvi Azmi is likable too Anu Kapoor is good in a cameo.
Darr (1993)Sunny Deol and SRK are my two favorite Bollywood actors and I was excited to learn that they did a film together called Darr.
The Pluses: the main cast, (especially Sunny Deol and Juhi Chawla), nice songs, Anupam Kher and his wacky Cricket interest, and the reference of Imran Khan in a positive light.
Great quality picture.The Minuses: This is a 90's movie, so expect some corny dialogues, unexpected events in the film and songs that appear out of nowhere.
SRK appears to be what we call in modern times, as a stalker.Overall, Darr is a great film.
it' sad that SRK and Sunny Deol don't make films together anymore.
So when Rahul comes to know that Kiran is in love with Sunil, what will he do ?
Sunil (Sunny Deol) and Kiran (Juhi Chawla) fell in love with each other and decide to get married after Kiran's education.
However, Kiran has a stalker named Rahul (Shahrukh Khan) who is not only in love with Kiran but constantly follows her around, harrassing her via phone calls and disguises and would do anything to win Kiran over.
Sunny deol as the typical hero is average as his role was not all that great.
Juhi Chawla as Kiran was great in her performance, however like Sunny, her popularity of doing leading roles faded.
However her chemistry with Sunny is great.This movie belongs to Shahrukh Khan.
Overall, great performances but watch the movie for the King Khan.
Yash Chopra's films did manage to be sensible once in a while, though impounded by unnecessary songs.
This movie is one of those, and fortunately, it skipped on unnecessary bollywood drama.The acting is above average in this one with a rare, excellent performance by SRK.
I think the climax was good, especially when Juhi asks Sunny to kill him.
Shahrukh plays an obsessed lover who will do almost anything to win over his lady which in this case is Juhi Chawla.

Little does Juhi know in the film that Shahrukh has a MAJOR crush on her and is constantly stalking her.

Never in my life will I forget the line, "I love you K..k..k..Kiran!"It's just too bad that Shahrukh and Juhi weren't exactly "together" in the film.

But Juhi and Sunny do make a fairly good couple in the movie.
