Darr re release

The iconic psychological thriller Darr, which originally hit screens in 1993, is making a comeback to theatres on April 4. Directed by the legendary Yash Chopra and produced under the Yash Raj Films banner, Darr is a film that left an indelible mark on Bollywood with its gripping storyline and unforgettable performances. The re-release has been officially announced by YRF, bringing a wave of nostalgia for cinephiles and fans of the lead trio—Shah Rukh Khan, Juhi Chawla, and Sunny Deol.

The film’s poster was shared by YRF with the caption: “Experience this iconic tale on the big screen again! #Darr re-releasing in cinemas tomorrow. Book your tickets now (sic).” This announcement has stirred excitement among fans, especially those who first witnessed SRK’s chilling performance as Rahul decades ago.

Released in 1993, Darr follows the story of Rahul (played by Shah Rukh Khan), a man whose obsessive love for Kiran (Juhi Chawla) spirals into dangerous madness. Kiran is engaged to Sunil (Sunny Deol), a naval officer, who becomes entangled in the psychological web spun by Rahul. The film is remembered for its intense plot, powerful dialogues, and memorable confrontations, which captured the minds of audiences across India.

Written by Honey Irani and known for its haunting soundtrack by Shiv-Hari, Darrfeatures timeless songs like “Jaadu Teri Nazar” and “Tu Mere Saamne.” The supporting cast includes acclaimed actors such as Anupam Kher, Tanvi Azmi, and Dalip Tahil, all of whom contributed to the film’s critical and commercial success.

Critically, the film was lauded for its suspenseful storytelling and stylish direction. “The film was a massive success,” noted the article on India Today. It praised “Shah Rukh Khan’s chilling portrayal of an obsessive lover, and Yash Chopra’s stylish direction.” Despite sparking debates over whether the film romanticized obsession, Darr played a crucial role in cementing SRK’s status as a Bollywood superstar.
