I seek acquittal not a tickle. Tricky ain't it!
:love:LY movie…shahrukh is simply teh BEST :k:
and Rani was superb :k:
the movie was average a mix of sathiya and hum tumhare hain sanam
but sharukh was superb esp in the drunk brawl scene
superlative
Oh, it is here already?
Boy, I am dying to watch this one. But from the reviews here, it seems I am in for a big disappointment.
Anyhow, Shahrukh being the lead actor is enuff a reason for me to watch the movie. I am gonna rent the dvd today itself and watch it.
:)
the movie is really good…specailly for couples…i just love the movie..and the movie is a HIT…read this:blush:![]()
Chalte Chalte
By Taran Adarsh
As producer, Shah Rukh Khan missed the bus in his first two productions. Will he get it right the third time, with CHALTE CHALTE? Yes, he does! Dreamz & UTV’s CHALTE CHALTE, directed by Aziz Mirza, is a feel-good film and though it has its share of loose ends, the outcome leaves you feeling thoroughly fulfilled.

Opposites attract, right? That’s what happens when Raj [Shah Rukh Khan] and Priya [Rani Mukherji] bump into each other on a highway.
They are as diverse as chalk and cheese. Raj is an impulsive, middle class, hard-working, emotional guy, while Priya is prim and proper, highly sophisticated and brought up in the lap of luxury.
They throw caution to the winds and dare to fall in love. But, gradually, things start changing. Romance takes a backseat, the need to impress no longer exists. What happens next?

CHALTE CHALTE is a tale of two hearts…
Primarily a love story, the film tackles the issue of marital discord – an issue that has been witnessed on the Hindi screen since decades. Also, flashes of ABHIMAAN, KORA KAAGAZ, AKELE HUM AKELE TUM, D.D.L.J., RAJA HINDUSTANI, HUM DIL DE HUKE SANAM and the recent SAATHIYA [it may be coincidental, the makers haven’t intentionally tried to incorporate moments from these films!] cross your mind as you embark on a journey called CHALTE CHALTE, but this film has its enduring moments – moments that you carry home even after the show has ended.
The first half of the enterprise covers all aspects that contribute to the making of a love story – the meeting, the affair, the marriage, the tiffs… In fact, the roller coaster ride in the first half is flawless in terms of writing, execution and interpretation.

Likewise, the emotional moments are hard to forget. Sequences like the one outside Rani’s house in Athens, when SRK talks about the moments they’ve shared, or Rani’s entry into SRK’s house after the marriage, have been handled with élan.
Naturally, if the batsman hits a century in the first innings, the viewer expects an encore in the second innings [post-interval] as well.
But the pace drops in the second half. Also, the goings-on tend to get lengthy and cumbersome as you watch the couple having tiff after tiff, most of which lack ground. How one wishes the editor would’ve used the scissors sharply to trim or even edit these portions!
Fortunately, the second half has its share of brilliantly executed and emoted sequences that save the film from sinking. Like, for instance, the scene in the party when SRK gets to know that Rani has borrowed money from Jas Arora to clear off the debt, is one of the best sequences of the enterprise.
Ditto for the sequence in the pre-climax, when SRK creates a ruckus in the foyer of Rani’s condominium, after having reached the location in an inebriated state. Even the climax [slightly long drawn though!] when SRK breaks down completely at the airport – the sequences manage to pull your heart strings and would prompt the delicate ones to reach for their handkerchief.
Undoubtedly, CHALTE CHALTE is Aziz Mirza’s finest attempt as a storyteller. Not only has he extracted outstanding performances from the principal cast, he has also struck the right balance between light and emotional moments of the film – the two sides of the coin. It is thanks to Mirza’s mature handling that the film neither becomes an out-an-out comedy, nor a complete tearjerker.

And now to the performances!
**CHALTE CHALTE clearly belongs to Shah Rukh Khan, an actor par excellence. One actually runs out of adjectives and personifications if asked to describe this performance by the actor. Clearly his most natural and likeable performance since DILWALE DULHANIYA LE JAYENGE, SRK surrenders himself completely to the script and delivers a performance that is bound to be a big hit with one and all.
Rani Mukherji proved her mettle as an actress of calibre in SAATHIYA and in CHALTE CHALTE, she takes a step forward. She slips into the character with amazing ease, proving that she’s a reservoir of talent. Looks-wise too, Rani has never looked as gorgeous as in this flick.**
On the whole, CHALTE CHALTE has several aces in its kitty – the light and emotional moments, the performances, the deft execution of the subject that makes you fall in love with love… But, most importantly, the film has tremendous emotional appeal to make the family audience throng the theatres. At the box-office, CHALTE CHALTE has all it takes to emerge victorious. Highly recommended!
Has Taran gone mad? What has DDLJ to do with the issue of Marital Discord?
Wow! Couldn’t ask for more in a movie. Way to go Shahrukhji! ![]()
The movie wasn’t as good as expected. But was ok. My favorite song is Tauba Tumhare Yeh Ishare…:k:
The rest of them are ok.

Naw! Havn't seen it yet. Did not get the dvd, coz it is gonna be shown in a local cinema hall here. Going for the movie tommorow. Will let u all know, how( good ) it was.
:)
the movie was good but not that amazing
In my opinion any1 who does justice with Sharukh Khan can only be Karan Johar and no one else
Sharakh Khan was amazing in this movie but somehow it just looked kinda streatched, like the movie should have been a bir shorter
OK movie. just OK. if Shahrukh hadn't been in it, it would have badly flopped.
havnt seen it :D
