What happens
Darr: A Violent Love Story (Hindi pronunciation: [ɖər]; lit. Fear) is a 1993 Indian Hindi-language psychological thriller film directed and produced by Yash Chopra under his banner Yash Raj Films. It stars Sunny Deol, Juhi Chawla and Shah Rukh Khan in the lead roles, along with Anupam Kher, Tanvi Azmi, Annu Kapoor, and Dalip Tahil in supporting roles. Darr released on 24 December 1993, coinciding with the Christmas weekend, and emerged as a major commercial success. It was declared a blockbuster at the box-office and went on to become the third highest-grossing Hindi film of the year and the highest-grossing Indian film of the year. It received widespread critical acclaim upon release, with praise towards the direction, story, screenplay, soundtrack, cinematography, costumes and the performances of the cast. Darr proved to be a milestone for both Chawla and Khan's careers, catapulting them to stardom. The film emerged as Chawla's third consecutive commercial success that year, following Lootere and Hum Hain Rahi Pyaar Ke, thus solidifying her career as a leading lady in the 1990s, while Khan's portrayal of an obsessive lover was widely appreciated by critics and audiences alike. The film marked the first of Khan's collaborations with Chopra and the Yash Raj Films banner. The film received two nominations at the 39th Filmfare Awards for Best Director (Chopra) and Best Villain (Khan), and won two awards: Best Comedian (Kher) and Best Cinematography (Manmohan Singh).
