Chaahat

I watched this today and I'm so surprised to see how beautiful SRK is! His top notch acting skills and his vulnerability make 'Roop' a very beautiful character.

Nobody could have done it! SRK knows what to do and how to do brilliantly.

Chahat explores unconditional love and throws light on toxic behaviour. It draws attention to how someone who is not mentally fit need treatment and not constant encouragement from their family.

Pooja Bhatt's simplicity draws a lot of attention too.

She did a fine job! Naseeruddin Shah is as always a master of acting.

I can watch this movie over and over again.

The last ten minutes of the movie are the best.

The film is about a rich girl's (who's the sister of a big don) obsession with a poor boy (Shah Rukh). Unfortunately, this poor boy loves an ordinary girl so much that he defies every move of the rich girl and her brother that would bring this poor boy closer to the rich girl.

Shah Rukh has acted one of his best performances in this film. It's really surprising that the film wasn't a commercial success as it had basically every element that is required for pure entertainment. This film was definitely better than some of the other hopeless Bollywood films.

Overall, I would recommend everyone (especially Shah Rukh's fans) to watch this film if you haven't. The songs of the film are pretty decent too.

Chaahat is a fabulous movie directed by Mahesh Bhatt who has given us good films in the past. It stars Pooja Bhatt daughter of Director Mahesh Bhatt, who usually is casted in his movies. This is a serious movie with action, little comedy, romance, serious stuff. You have seen shahrukh khan as the obsessed lover, this time its vice versa. The actress played by Rambha is obsessed with Shahrukh khan. Naseerudin Shah plays the villain in this film and delivers a terrific performance. Pooja Bhatt is decent in this movie, she needs to lose weight. Rambha is outstanding as the obsessed psychotic, disturbed and spoilt girl who gets what she wants by her gangster brother. She wants a man, and that man is Shahrukh Khan who gives a dynamic performance. Anupom Kher is wonderful as Shahrukh Khans father in this film. i love the ending of this film, both father and son give a superb performance. The final fight scene is excellent and thats why Shahrukh khan is a superstar.

Chaahat review :

The only film to pair Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) and Pooja Bhatt together; Chaahat became memorable for its music score by Anu Malik and Ramyah Krishnan who stole the show.

SRK and his daddy cool Anupam Kher are singer duo from Rajasthan who travel to Mumbai for baapu's cancer treatment. SRK falls for the attending nurse Pooja while his employer Ramyah lusts for him. Naseeruddin Shah plays Ramyah's over- protective brother who virtually controls the entire city.

Director Mahesh Bhatt's touch is visible in few scenes like the party scene where Naseer beats up a politician (Anant Jog) misbehaving with his sis. The title track is also well choreographed.

The film however, falters in its screenplay which encourages over the top act and most actors - SRK and Naseer included- ham it up specially the finale where SRK keeps shouting "Nahin Lagta mujhe..aur maar. Nahin lagta" is ridiculous. SRK- Pooja chemistry is also quite pheeka.

Finally, it is Ramyah Krishnan who delivers a believable performance as the libidinous lady who literally pounces on SRK in one scene. Moreover, she looks more beautiful and charming than Pooja which makes you wonder why SRK chose Pooja over her in the first place. A question only Mr. Bhatt can answer!!!

This is one of worst movies I've ever seen. I thought naseeruddin shah, anupam kher, pooja bhatt & Shah Rukh Khan(well he was a better actor those days) and a movie directed by Mahesh Bhatt can't be that bad. But boy was I mistaken. It was the most idiotic movie I have seen. Really bad! Don' waste your time attempting to watch this movie. Instead go for a walk or even take a nap.

OK, I need to continue writing in order to submbit this. The script is written by a 5th grader. Why would someone like Mahesh Bhatt who actually is a decent film director want to make this movie? Had he lost his mind? Why would an actor as talented as Anupam Kher want this role of a buffoon? This was the same man who did Saranksh. Naseeruddin Shah despite everything manages to have class.

Why does Bollywood churn out these idiotic movies? It was boring, cerebrally challenged and didn't even have the usual galmor of a regular Hindi film.
