Did Yash Chopra create sympathy for SRK in Darr? - Page 2

@meribaat.

Bollywood tends to almost always add an angle that creates sympathy for the obsessive lover. It usually happens when a leading actor who usually plays the 'hero' takes up a villainous role.

Probably for Yash Chopra that character was only a obsessive lover not the lusty and rapist kind of character.He gave a reason why Rahul was behaving that way.It gave clarification to the viewers.

I read somewhere that Sunny said he read a different script and the end product was something else.If its not true then the whole character sketch was in the script and Sunny should have understood whats the story is all about.But if its true then probably when every other bigger stars refused to act as Rahul then Yash Chopra's love for the character increased more and he wanted to show how brilliant the negative character was to all those people who rejected to play that character.So slowly he added much more to that character.And Shahrukh's acting added much more depth to it.

Or Yash Chopra might have wanted to show it from Rahul's point of view.Just like Bazigar,even though Shilpa's character was killed and she did nothing wrong to anyone still at the end we completely forget Shilpa's character and feel sad for the killer who killed an innocent person.I didn't cry when Shilpa's character died but I cried when Shahrukh's character died.

But for me, I didn't feel bad or sympathize for Rahul the way I did in Bazigar even if I slightly sympathized when he stabbed Sunny's character I lost all sympathy.In my opinion it was Shahrukh's brilliant acting in it which gathered accolades not that character.The character was negative and he deserved dying,that I felt after watching it.That means Yash Chopra didn't try to create sympathy for that character.

SRK does have string of murders to his credit in Darr. Watch it again.😆

Sunny was not given a choice. He was always supposed to play the navy officer. Never heard of him being asked to choose between hero and villain.

Baazigar is justified in my eyes due to Ajay's childhood. He lost his father and baby sister. What was her fault? He just got even with Madan Chopra. His act of throwing Shilpa off the terrace and other murders he commits are brutal. But flashbacks kind of justify him. Though I have mixed opinion on his character now given how brutally he killed everyone. He too died a brutal death. Karmic justice maybe...

It is only Anjaam where I felt nothing for him.🤢 Vijay is despicable.

Well we were suppose to feel for his character I don't think that was ever hidden, so the end wasn't a surprise to me. We have fans who wanted Kiran to end up with Rahul that's how much of a sympathy was created for the character.

As for Deol, idk get why he's mad did they narrate it differently to him? the way audience accepted SRK I don't even think Yash Chopra was expecting it, he was suppose to be the underdog.

@meribaat

what yash was able to create was.the mental/sickness of srk. i don't think he could have ever raped juhi, even with an opportunity. i felt he was more in his fantasy land with juhi, but not to harm her.
