Darr (1993)

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Darr is a great movie! 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. I have to admit, some of the things he did in this movie were pretty creepy... like the threatening phone calls. 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. Though Shahrukh's role was pretty psychotic, I still think he did a great job of playing it and can't possibly imagine anyone else doing that role. No wonder he got an award for Darr in 94'!Juhi... what can I say??? She looks especially amazing in this film! It's not that she doesn't always look amazing in her other films, but Darr did give the public a wonderful image of her!As for the music... it was excellent! Especially "Jaadu Teri Nazar," one of my all time favorite songs. I also thought "Tu Mere Samne" was quite nice also.A must see for everyone! Overall Darr deserves a 11/10!

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) was an incredible movie. In my opinion, it is one of Bollywood's finest. The movie itself triggers feelings of sympathy, fear, confusion, happiness, and sadness. Shahrukh's role was unbelievable, in fact he gave obsession a new face. Juhi Chawla's innocent and girlie character contrasted greatly with Shahrukh's fiery and passionate character. Sunny Deol's role made the "good guy" role seem like the "bad guy" one. The fact that Shahrukh, not Sunny, captivated the audience's attention proves that everyone has that helpless inner drive to pursue something that's not really in their hands. Even though the movie is several years old, it surpasses any recent one. The song "Tu Mere Samne" was full of passion and meaning. His personality fit the role perfectly. He should seriously consider re-starring in a similar film.

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)
