Lillette Dubey was a little OTT but I like her so that was no big deal.
Taube Tumahre yeh Ishare - that was one sweet love ballad. This movie was when I first felt that she was a serious actress. Rani was fabulous as Priya, stunning in looks and in her conflicts with Raj. I liked his drunk act, his trashing the apartment. The same old romantic dude? Perhaps, but much more vulnerable and real this time around. His romancing Priya (Rani) was sweet and never very over the top - yes I even liked the hokey feel of Gumshuda, and Suno Na Suno Na was divine in sound and picturization. I found SRK's portrayal of Raj the transport biz owner very authentic. Chalte Chalte tells us that in relationships one must accept one's partner for what he or she is and not expect that they will magically be altered or reformed to fit our idealized version. It is quite usual to show "reformed" characters, ideal solutions, in Hindi cinema. There is an inevitable happy ending, but do things resolve themselves as expected? Not really, and this is where I find Chalte Chalte most endearing. She goes off to her family, and he is left to pine. Sparks fly, fights are followed by reconciliations until there is an irreconcilable misunderstanding over money and a major rift occurs. They marry and then the story takes us into an inside look at the marriage between two opposites. So off to Greece we go and by the end of the trip she is convinced she loves this man - she never did profess to love her childhood friend. He "misplaces" her and then after much searching finds her only to be told she is marrying an old friend in Greece. He meets a rich high society girl, played by Rani, and falls for her. Shahrukh plays a self made small time transport business owner and is a very down to earth character. It seems superficially like Saathiya but is also quite different. Will they reunite or will the discord never be set straight? - Soumitra This is too much to take for Priya and she leaves their home.
When Raj finds out, all hell breaks loose and in an angry fit he accuses Priya of infidelity. Raj runs into financial problems and Priya borrows money from Sameer without telling Raj. But after a year of their marriage, things are not quite rosy as the once-lovestruck couple faces the harsh realities of marriage. During the journey Priya realizes that Raj is her true soulmate and decides to marry him. Raj follows her all the way to Greece to woo her. Raj has fallen for Priya but Priya is already engaged to marry her childhood friend Sameer. But when a chance encounter brings them together, they are drawn towards each other. While Raj owns a small-time transport business and belongs to the economically middle class section of society, Priya belongs to the affluent class and is on the road to becoming a famous fashion designer. Raj and Priya come from two different strata of society.
