'''''Darr: A Violent Love Story''''' ({{IPA|hi|ɖər}}; {{lit.}} ''Fear'') is a 1993 Indian [[Hindi]]-language [[psychological thriller film]] directed and produced by [[Yash Chopra]] under his banner [[Yash Raj Films]]. It stars [[Sunny Deol]] and [[Juhi Chawla]] in lead roles with [[Shah Rukh Khan]] as the antagonist. [[Annu Kapoor]], [[Tanvi Azmi]], [[Anupam Kher]] and [[Dalip Tahil]] play supporting roles. In the film, Kiran Awasthi (Chawla) is hounded by a creepy stalker Rahul Mehra (Khan), who goes berserk when she gets engaged to Sunil Malhotra (Deol), a navy officer, and decides to forcefully claim Kiran for himself.

''Darr'' released on 24 December 1993, coinciding with the [[Christmas]] weekend, and emerged as a major commercial success and was declared a blockbuster at the box-office. The film ranked as the [[List of Hindi films of 1993|third highest-grossing Hindi film of the year]] and the highest-grossing Indian film of the year in overseas markets. It received widespread critical acclaim upon release, with high praise for the direction, story, screenplay, soundtrack, cinematography, costumes and the performances of the cast.

''Darr'' proved to be a milestone for both Chawla and Khan's careers, catapulting them to superstardom. The film emerged as Chawla's fourth consecutive commercial success that year, thus solidifying her career as a leading lady in the 1990s, while Khan's portrayal of an obsessive lover was widely applauded by critics and audiences alike.

''Darr'' won the [[National Film Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment]] at the [[41st National Film Awards]]. The film received 10 nominations at the [[39th Filmfare Awards]], including [[Filmfare Award for Best Film|Best Film]], [[Filmfare Award for Best Director|Best Director]] (Chopra), [[Filmfare Award for Best Actor|Best Actor]] (Deol), [[Filmfare Award for Best Actress|Best Actress]] (Chawla) and [[Filmfare Award for Best Performance in a Negative Role|Best Villain]] (Khan), and won two awards: [[Filmfare Award for Best Performance in a Comic Role|Best Comedian]] (Kher), and [[Filmfare Award for Best Cinematography|Best Cinematography]].

== Plot ==
Kiran Awasthi, a beautiful college student, visits her brother Vijay and his wife Poonam upon her return home. Rahul Mehra, her classmate who is in love with her, is relentlessly following her. An [[MARCOS|SF officer]] in the [[Indian Navy]] named [[Lieutenant]] Sunil Malhotra is Kiran's boyfriend. His [[Commanding officer|Commanding Officer]] [[Captain]] Avinash Mehra, is Rahul's father.

Rahul makes an effort to be friendly with Sunil in order to be near Kiran. Rahul keeps calling her when she gets home and asks her to avoid Sunil, but despite her fear, she rejects Rahul's authority over her. She and her family are frightened when he visits her on both her birthday and [[Holi]]. Kiran and Sunil become engaged thanks to Vijay and Poonam, who think the stalker would never bother Kiran again.

Upon learning this, a furious Rahul attempts to murder Sunil but is unsuccessful. When Sunil is chasing Rahul, he doesn't know that the stalker is Rahul, he has an accident and is taken to the hospital. Kiran chooses to flee the city so that the stalker won't harm her beloved any longer but is apprehended by Sunil, who marries her that very night. Rahul is attacked by this and vows to take Kiran for himself. He kills the police officers sent to protect the couple and vandalizes their new home with graffiti reading "{{IAST|Śādī Mubārāka Kiraṇa}}" (Congrats on your marriage, Kiran) and "''{{IAST|Tuma mērī hō Kiraṇa}}''" (You are mine, Kiran).

This horrifies Kiran, who worries that she might lose her mind. Sunil decides to take Kiran on a surprise honeymoon to [[Switzerland]] while booking extra tickets to [[Goa]], so that the stalker goes away by misunderstanding that the couple is in Goa. Rahul falls for the trick and looks everywhere for Kiran in Goa in vain, but couldn't find her. Instead, he meets Vikram "Vicky" Oberoi, a friend from college, who is ill. Rahul then makes an effort to get to know Kiran's brother and sister-in-law by paying them daily visits to learn about Kiran's location.

Vicky calls Rahul and invites him to meet him. When he does, he discovers him on his deathbed, pleading with Rahul to kill him since he can no longer bear the anguish. After a brief pause, he kills his companion while creating the illusion that Vicky was the stalker. Kiran's family believes the stalker killed himself after failing to find Kiran and relax. Rahul is informed of her true whereabouts, and he shows up at her hotel.

He is acknowledged by Kiran and Sunil, who invite him to join their celebrations. However, Sunil learns that Rahul was Kiran's stalker when Vijay calls him and says that Rahul had been visiting him and Poonam but not mentioned he was going to Switzerland. Sunil sends Kiran to wait for him at a boat, before luring Rahul to the forest and attacking him. Rahul begs for mercy, stabs Sunil and then abandons him to perish. Later, as Rahul arrives at the boat, he tries to marry Kiran without her will and informs her that Sunil has died. Despite her pleading and begging, he hands her his mother's old saree and orders her to wear it.

Kiran locks herself in a room in the boat. When the boat's door is smashed and Kiran is yanked back out by Rahul and agrees to marry Rahul, then it is discovered that Sunil didn't actually die and he returns to save Kiran. Enraged, Sunil brutally fights Rahul and ends up shooting him thrice, killing him. As Rahul dies, he pleads to Kiran not to hate him anymore. Kiran and Sunil return to [[India]] and visit their relatives once again.

== Production ==
[[Raveena Tandon]] was the first choice of Kiran, [[Dino Martelli|Deepak Malhotra]] essaying Sunil and Saahil Chadha playing the role of Rahul, but Yash Chopra decided to take over the project and eventually changed the casting.<ref>{{Cite web |date=20 July 2023 |title=Saahil Chadha recalls being replaced from Darr after Yash Chopra took over the film, says Aditya Chopra offered him Shah Rukh Khan's part |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/saahil-chadha-replaced-darr-after-yash-chopra-aditya-chopra-offered-him-shah-rukh-khan-part-8849950/ |website=[[The Indian Express]]}}</ref>

[[Sridevi]], who had previously collaborated with Chopra in ''[[Chandni (film)|Chandni]]'' (1989) and ''[[Lamhe]]'' (1991), was approached for the role of Kiran. The role was planned much like her previous roles in ''Chandni'' and ''Lamhe''. However, she wanted Kiran to be the obsessed lover instead of the victim; Chopra refused this change of plot, which caused Sridevi to opt out.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Banerjee |first=Shreshtha |date=2021-11-18 |title=10 Superhit Bollywood Movie Offers Rejected By Madhuri Dixit |url=https://www.postoast.com/bollywood-movie-rejected-by-madhuri-dixit/ |access-date=2023-03-10 |website=www.postoast.com |language=en-US}}</ref> [[Madhuri Dixit]] was the next choice, but she refused. [[Aishwarya Rai Bachchan|Aishwarya Rai]] was screen tested for the role, but did not make the cut. [[Divya Bharti]] was then signed.

[[Rishi Kapoor]], [[Mithun Chakraborty]] and [[Jackie Shroff]] were offered the role of Sunil, but they refused. [[Nitish Bharadwaj]] was then approached for Sunil's role, due to his popularity as [[Krishna|Lord Krishna]] in [[B. R. Chopra]]'s ''[[Mahabharat (1988 TV series)|Mahabharat]]''. Bharadwaj rejected the role as he felt the role was not challenging enough. The role eventually went to [[Sunny Deol]], who had earlier been offered the role of the antagonist. Deol had declined it, believing that a negative role would be a risk to his career.

[[Sanjay Dutt]] was the original choice of the role of antagonist Rahul, but Chopra was unable to finalise him because of his jail sentence due to illegal possession of arms. [[Sudesh Berry]] was then considered for the role, but was rejected after a screen test.<ref>{{Cite book |title=Khullam Khulla |publisher=HarperCollins |year=2017 |isbn=978-93-5277-797-6 |location=India |pages=96}}</ref> The role was then offered to [[Ajay Devgn]] who turned the role down due to other commitments.<ref name="rediff">{{cite web|date=31 January 2000|title=Rediff On The NeT, Movies: The Preethse review|url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/2000/jan/31preet.htm|access-date=5 April 2014|publisher=Rediff}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=Chintamani|first1=Gautam|date=12 March 2016|title=After 'Darr', Shah Rukh Khan channels Robert De Niro again in 'Fan'.

[[Aamir Khan]], who had previously worked with Chopra on ''[[Parampara (1993 film)|Parampara]]'' the same year, was signed as Rahul. Chopra replaced Bharti with [[Juhi Chawla]] at Khan's request.<ref>{{Cite web |date=12 April 2020 |title=Did You Know: Aamir Khan got Divya Bharti replaced with Juhi Chawla in Darr due to THIS reason? |url=https://www.pinkvilla.com/entertainment/nostalgia/did-you-know-aamir-khan-got-divya-bharti-replaced-juhi-chawla-darr-due-reason-523740 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200412115556/https://www.pinkvilla.com/entertainment/nostalgia/did-you-know-aamir-khan-got-divya-bharti-replaced-juhi-chawla-darr-due-reason-523740 |archive-date=12 April 2020}}</ref> However, problems arose when Khan asked Chopra for a joint narration of the script with him and [[Sunny Deol]]. Khan's reasoning for this was that since he and Deol were two leading actors, they could hear their roles and if they were both satisfied, no ego hassles would happen henceforth. However, Chopra refused to heed to such a request. Khan was also unhappy with the way Deol's character beat Rahul up in the film's climax. Khan was then removed from the project. Ironically, after the release of the film, Deol was miffed as he felt that the other male lead’s role was given more weightage than his, thus pledging to never work with Chopra and his banner again.

After Aamir Khan was removed from the film, [[Shah Rukh Khan]] was cast as Rahul after Chopra's son Aditya Chopra had watched his debut performance in ''[[Deewana (1992 film)|Deewana]]'' and suggested his name. Thanks to this suggestion by Aditya who was an assistant director on the film, ''Darr'' ended up catapulting Shah Rukh to stardom, and he went on to star in all of Chopra's future directorial ventures.

The film's title ''Darr'' was suggested to Chopra by his other son [[Uday Chopra]] (who was also an assistant director in the film) and actor [[Hrithik Roshan]].<ref name="indiatv">{{cite news|url=https://www.indiatvnews.com/entertainment/bollywood-darr-shah-rukh-khan-lesser-known-facts-418621|title=24 years of Darr: We bet you didn't know these 7 unknown facts about Shah Rukh Khan's film|date=24 December 2017|agency=[[India TV]]|access-date=10 November 2018|archive-date=22 September 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190922153031/https://www.indiatvnews.com/entertainment/bollywood-darr-shah-rukh-khan-lesser-known-facts-418621|url-status=dead}}</ref>

== Soundtrack ==
The soundtrack for ''Darr'' was composed by the duo [[Shiv-Hari]] ([[Shiv Kumar Sharma]] and [[Hariprasad Chaurasia]]) and written by [[Anand Bakshi]].

It was the second best-selling [[Bollywood soundtrack]] album of the year, being surpassed only by ''[[Baazigar]]'' (which also starred Shah Rukh Khan).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=284&catName=MTk5MC0xOTk5 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080215081552/http://www.boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=284&catName=MTk5MC0xOTk5&PHPSESSID=108b9056cd4ca14236f9c6119d34dcce |archive-date=15 February 2008 |title=Music Hits 1990–1999 (Figures in Units) |publisher=Box Office India |date=22 January 2009 |access-date=9 May 2012}}</ref> The soundtrack album sold about 4.5{{nbsp}}million units in India,<ref name="Outlook">{{cite magazine|title=Making Music Like Ne'er Before|magazine=[[Outlook (Indian magazine)|Outlook]]|date=13 March 1996|url=https://www.outlookindia.com/magazine/story/making-music-like-neer-before/200987|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171210071742/www.outlookindia.com/magazine/story/making-music-like-neer-before/200987|archive-date=2017-12-10|access-date=25 March 2022}}</ref> earning at least {{INRConvert|10.8|c|year=1993}}.<ref>{{cite journal|title=India Today|journal=[[India Today]]|date=1994|volume=19|page=iv|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=LHEZAQAAMAAJ|language=en|quote=DARR <br /> Music Director: Shiv-Harl <br /> Lyricist: Anand Bakshi <br /> Sales: 40 lakh tapes <br /> Value: Rs 10.8 crore}}</ref> Rakesh Budhu of ''Planet Bollywood'' in his review gave the album 8.5 stars out of 10.<ref name="pb" />

''Darr'''s soundtrack marked one of the earliest instances of [[Udit Narayan]] supplying his voice for Shah Rukh Khan. Narayan's voice went on to be featured in the soundtracks of every single one of Khan's collaborations with Yash Raj Films until ''[[Veer-Zaara]]'' (2004).
