I watched this movie when I didnt know who Shah Rukh was (and didnt have even remotest idea that he was going to rule the Bollywood screen soon). Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman is about a young engineer who comes to Bombay to realize his dreams of making it big. How he lands among a group of good guys living in a 'chawl' and share his happiness and sorrow with them is beautifully picturised. Nana Patekar steals the show whenever he appears on screen. One scene that really moved me comes near the end of the movie, when Shah Rukh is totally drunk (symbolically, drowned in the magic of lucre!!)and shouting at the ever-cute Juhi, and Nana carries him away from the scene. Music is good. A very good movie and very well made.

Highly Recommended....

This is one movie that I can watch anytime, any number of times. Darr is probably the best movie that the great combo of ShahRukh and Yash Chopra stable has provided. (I even rate it better than Dil To Paagal Hai). Shahrukh is not good, he is amazing. Though Sunny Deol was supposed to be the lead role, and the Shah plays the baddie, by the end of movie, it is only Shahrukh who steals all the limelight. He is just superb.

I rate it not only Shahrukh's best movies, but also one of Bollywood's best movies of all times.

Dont miss this movie for anything.
