Well I see it in a different way to be honest..Shahrukh's character in Darr was not out and out negative like lets say Ranjit kind of negative or Gulshan Grover kind negative.😆.who lusts after the girl..He was obssessed and paranoid about the girl and he could not express it in front of her..And on top of that he is shown as someone who was a weak and a damaged soul and that is bound to get sympathy..I mean many of us would have a friend whom we know liked a girl all his life but was never able to confess..or may be the girl never cared about him..But there the story ends..In the movie the other side of it was shown..

IMO..it was never a Sunny Deol or the Hero's story..even though he had more screen time..No matter if some other actors had played the characters of Shahrukh and Sunny..it was Rahul's story..

I might have watched it but don't remember it now.

@Debarati

I agree. Yash Chopra did craft it as Rahul's story. It is never about the tormented girl, harassed couple. SRK does vandalise and murder. But thanks to the character sketch you find reason for his acts instead of hating him like a usual villain.

Compared to SRK, yes he does. Have you seen the Sunny-Juhi starrer Lootere? They were really good in that and complimented each other.

Lootere is a brilliant film. So underrated, one of the best of the 90's IMO. So fast paced, with twists and turns on every corner. When Sunny sees Juhi at the temple, believing she's dead is such a well-shot scene. A must watch for anybody who loves 90's cinema.

I v seen all these movies on cable tv in later on. I feel no one can emote and act like srk does who execel in these movies on versatile one which relate viewers rather than monotonous acting.

shah completely owned darr. no chance for sunny, invisible he was.

that being said...i like sunny deol. his punches looks real. much solid than the khans.

his ghayal, gadar, border were top notch. 😆and maybe i am in minority i will take his indian over shah's ashoka..both released on same day. sunny rocks in these kinda movies. he was mighty fine in damini as well, the best thing about movie damini. he even delivered many hits like tridev, ziddi(this one too i loved..him and raveena-top)..and who can forget his first outing with saif's ex..amrita...loved the movie and both amrita and deol. all in all...top notch performer from bollywood!👍🏼
