"Darr" means fear and fear beats in every lover's heart. Fear that your love may not be reciprocated; fear that you lose the one you love and fear that your beloved could have a change of heart. In short fear is the villain in every love story. But in Yash Chopra's "Darr" fear is the ultimate expression of passion obsession and sacrifice.

"Darr" is Rahul's (Shahrukh Khan) story whose love and obsession for Kiran (Juhi Chawla) frees him from all fears of life and death. "Darr" is Sunil's (Sunny Deol) story whose enduring love and passion for Kiran gives him the courage to face the fear of death. And finally "Darr" is Kiran's story caught between one man's love and another man's obsession. She fears one and fears for the other. One stands for love and the other for life. Who will be the victor in this battle between love and life?

"Darr" won the National award for Best Film in 1993 and is well remembered for Shahrukh Khan's mesmerizing performance. Shiv-Hari composed the haunting melodies of Darr including "Jaadu Teri Nazar" and "Tu Mere Samne".
