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

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. but it is the choice of the heroine that raises the question. Darr was made after the debacle of Yash's Lamhe. it it obvious that the failure of the movie is blamed upon solely on the shoulders reigning queen Sridevi,as when you are on top everyone wants you down.Instead of repeating the queen,Yash has used Juhi Chawla, who despite of being a talented actress, cannot match even a hair strand with the queen bee Sridevi.Even if Sridevi not being in the movie, the shadow of the queen still hangs around in Yash's mind as he clothes Juhi and makes her dance like Sridevi in a white sari, which Juhi fails miserably.

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.
