Yes, Chhaiya Chhaiyya was THE iconic song and dance! SRK and Malaika rocked it on top of the moving train! Preity was cute and bubbly in her debut film, Manisha-SRK were intense!
The film was ahead of its time! Nowadays with content suddenly being appreciated by Indian audiences, Dil Se would have been a hit too if it had been released now.

But Dil Se is a very depressing movie...It would've got its critical acclaim but I doubt if it would've done well...

Anyways on the topic, yes SRK owned Chayya Chayya for sure...Also I cannot imagine anyone else doing the big bro in KKKG, the damaged coach in the Chak De!, the wannabe American in Swades...the failed lover in Kabhi ha Kabhi na...the ambitious youngster in Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman...etc..These are the roles that made him iconic...Not the so called Rahul stuff !

I can watch him again and again in a Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman...But arghhh Dilwale...I couldn't even get past the first hour without fidgeting and looking at my watch repeatedly...

no one can bring the energy and charm that SRK bought to chaiya chaiya. SRK n Malika killed it.
those expressions, moves and playful smirks made this song.

This song makes me feel high. Those beats, voice, visuals and dance were mind blowing. SRK's energy was damn infectious. This song and Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani title track made me love SRK as a kid. I don't think anyone could have done this with the same charm.

True! That song was a rage back then and I have great memories associated with it. The whole choreography and the scenes of PBDHH song are LOVE!

Loll @ SRK being so charged up that he was ready to dance under the train too. I can't see Shilpa here at all. Funny how she turned it down just because she felt scared. She's a good dancer she should have challenged herself..but regardless, Malaika did her part the best.

^^ I remember reading an article ages back that Mani Ratnam was unhappy with Shilpa's weight so he dropped her from the song..Not sure which reason is true 😆 And did you guys know Kajol was the first choice for Dil Se? Not surprising that she rejected it though 😆
