3.0 out of 5 stars
Mixed feelings, November 18, 2008
Some beautiful scenery early on and nice romantic sequences but somehow it degraded onto some of the worst aspects of couple bickering and lack of generosity in the SRK character. His bad behaviour in this movie really doesnt have much of a redeeming feature and is not something I like to hang out with. The movie ends with some reconciliation then more bickering.
Don't they learn? (as in other Indian movies) They are either as dysfunctional as each other, or this relationship has a 'use-by' date.
I usually like these two actors but this is one DVD I decided not to hang onto even though I have quite a few with SRK. Not a favorite.

5.0 out of 5 stars
There's more to it than falling in love and getting married..., March 11, 2008
The main reason I love this film is Shahrukh Khan and Rani Mukerji. My favorite actor and favorite actor costarring in a movie together.
Another reason is the soundtrack and dance numbers. I heard it before I bought the movie and it really made me want to see Chalte Chalte.
The other reason? It's not a typical movie. Typical movies follow the formula of boy meets girl, boy likes girl, boy loses girl, boy finds girl, boy and girl fall in love, boy and girl get married, the end.
Chalte Chalte went beyond that. While I love many Bollywood films that follow the standard forumla, I'm quite happy that Chalte Chalte went forward to a year later when the honeymoon period is over and reality sets in.

Not my favorite, June 25, 2008
Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love. Girl is already engaged to another. Boy chases girl across the world to try to woo her. Girl loves boy. They live happily ever after. That's the first 30 minutes of this movie. And if you've ever seen a Bollywood movie before, you know there's at least 2 and 1/2 hours left. So what do they fill it up with? Bickering. Mindless arguing that continues through nearly every minute of the movie. The movie was fine the first time through... though with all that fighting 3 hours seemed like 3 years.... but I'll probably never watch this one again. On my list of Great, Good, and Terrible Bollywood movies this is on the low end of Good. But it was good to see both Shah Rukh Khan and Rani again. They're wonderful!
