While the songs by Jatin-Lalit and Aadesh Shrivastava are beautifully picturized, especially “ Taubaâ€, “ Suno Na†and “ Dagariya Chaloâ€, the rest of the film is laced with your typical cinematography and scenery. Sure the issues are realistic but the film lacks the realistic solution. The one powerhouse scene where Raj confronts Priya about her asking Sameer for money is still left unresolved at the end of the film and while the moral is that problems are to be worked out and not placed too much emphasis on, the couple never really discuss their problem without remaining one sided. I hope that doesn’t send signals off to our directors (especially after Andaaz), as that is just an indication of how horrible previous releases have been.įor Chalte Chalte, fault lies in that there is emphasis placed on the marital problems but all resolutions are faux. I’m sure walking out of the cinema you’d hear, “after a long time we’ve had a nice filmâ€. The film is enjoyable overall, however, retrospectively speaking Chalte Chalte could have been much more. Furthermore, it has entertainment value, songs, comedy and the emotion. It’s the kind of film people expect to see Shah Rukh Khan in when he’s not busy doing his rare films like Asoka or Devdas. Undoubtedly, Chalte Chalte is the kind of film the masses will clamor up to. Eventually the couple splits after Priya borrows money from Sameer to help Raj and his ailing company and lies to Raj saying it is from her fashion work in Athens. Situations like cleanliness, yelling, and the major one of financial issues cause a rift in the marriage. Raj and Priya live a happy life until real marital problems start kicking in. But as the ceremony begins, Priya realizes that she really loves Raj more and runs off with him after getting her father’s consent. Due to the continuous bad weather, Raj ends up driving Priya to her family’s home and gives a final goodbye. Again, Raj tries to convince Priya to leave with him and marry him but Priya says no. Raj and Priya get even closer as the plan has to take a detour due to bad weather in Athens.
Raj tries to convince her otherwise but eventually she gets on the plane to Greece, Athens, where her family lives and Raj follows her. Raj tries to find Priya but when he does, Priya has already agreed to a pre-arranged marriage with her childhood friend Sameer ( Jas Arora). Priya gives Raj her number but the laundry man washes his pants with the number in it causing it to fade away. A few light moments later, the two end up spending a great deal of time together.
Chalte chalte movie cast driver#
Raj is immediately smitten by Priya who can’t stop talking about what an insolent driver Raj is. Raj meets Priya ( Rani Mukherji) after the two almost get into an accident. The couple starts talking about the great love story of Raj and Priya and thus we are introduced to Raj ( Shah Rukh Khan), a truck driver who runs his own truck driving company.
The film opens up with a group of youngsters discussing love stories as one of them is getting engaged. Unlike the Yash Johar / Yash Chopra- Shah Rukh Khan films, or other films of that genre that Shah Rukh does every so often, this film falls short of the “same topic but well presented great film†category. But, by far, one can’t sit down and call this film a “must seeâ€, certainly not of the kind one runs to the theatre for. There is romance, comedy, a few contrived emotional scenes and melody all over the place. In fact, the film is a must see for Shah Rukh Khan fans, Rani Mukherji fans and fans of the couple, or people who are looking for good time pass entertainment. The film is not a horrendous attempt at tackling marital relationships and could have been much worse. That said and done, bad is what Chalte Chalte is not. Going by Bollywood’s track record we’ll be seeing more films like this in the future but we hope they don’t turn out like this one and don’t release anytime soon. There was Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam, a jaded project in all the sense, Saathiya, which highlighted how a major accident can open one’s eyes to the real world, Khwahish, which was misrepresented completely, and now Chalte Chalte. Directors have found a new topic to beat down, drag out and try to make worthwhile, life after marriage.
