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!!!

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.

I enjoyed this balanced performance by a young Shahrukh. It is not the greatest movie, but it is a good Shahrukh; young, vulnerable, exotic, naive, and learning. I especially liked the songs. I am a non Hindustani, yet I was quite taken with this talented actor. It is easy to see why he is and has been so popular. The dance sequence for "panasonic presents" shows him at his intense best. I think even in a "small" movie like this, his talent is showcased well, and fans will find him delightful. Shahrukh grows on you with each performance, and this movie deserves a few viewings. When you're in a "Shahrukh" mood, this movie fits the bill.

Chahat is a movie about an obsessed rich woman who wants to make Roop (Shah Rukh Khan) her own, but he loves someone else. The rich girl's brother will do anything for her and tries to secure her happiness with criminal methods. The idea is not too bad. SRK is not the actor he is now, but his performance is still worth seeing(especially for fans). Although the theme is good and the plot too, the movie is not able to catch the viewer. I think this is because of the Dialogues and settings.

I would probably describe it as a typical 80ies Movie. Due to design, story and acting.

If you are a fan of Sharukh, it's not a mistake to watch it. I would not buy it though.

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.
