Darr: A Violent Love Story (Hindi: डर, "Fear") is a 1993 Indian psychological thriller directed by Yash Chopra under the banner of Yash Raj Films. It stars Shahrukh Khan, Sunny Deol & Juhi Chawla in the pivotal roles. In the film Shah Rukh Khan played the role of an obsessive lover.
The film was well received by critics and audiences, earning the film and its actors accolades. It has attained classic status over the years and is regarded as one of Chopra's best. Darr was later remade in Kannada as Preethse.
The film begins with Kiran (Juhi Chawla), a college student, returning home for Holi celebrations and being obsessively stalked along the way by Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan), her classmate who has a crush on her. Kiran's boyfriend Sunil (Sunny Deol) is a Navy Marine Commando officer, and is on a mission to free a child hostage from some terrorists on the high seas. Sunil's Captain Mehra (Dilip Tahil) is also the father of Rahul. Rahul tries to be friendly with Sunil in order to be closer to Kiran.
When Kiran reaches her brother Vijay's (Anupam Kher) home, she is continually stalked by Rahul on the phone. This causes much stress to herself and her family. He crashes Kiran's family's Holi celebrations incognito as a member of the band. Sunil asks Kiran to offer the band some money for their performance, where Rahul, veiled in Holi colours, whispers "I love you, K-K-K-Kiran" to Kiran, which disturbs her greatly and a foot chase ensues to find the hooligan who's invaded their house, but Rahul soon disappears into the crowd.
When Rahul receives the news of Kiran and Sunil's engagement, he tries to shoot and kill Sunil when the couple are out shopping for a wedding ring. He misses his aim and Sunil begins to chase him, from which Rahul narrowly escapes being recognised by Sunil.
