Even after nearly 30 years, Darr (Fear) remains a classic Bollywood film because of its powerful depiction of obsession as well as Shah Rukh Khan's otherworldly performance as the evil man Friday cum loverboy who refuses to let go. The plot does feel a bit convoluted through the modern lens and even though there are glaring issues with the film - the biggest being glorification of stalking and casual sexism (also, Deol is top-billed and listed before Chawla) - it does not disappoint. There is not a dull frame in this 3-hour long tour de force of a film that is essential viewing for both Bollywood lovers and SRK fans. TN.
