Review

"DARR was an important film for everyone associated with it.
Most of all it was important for Yash Raj Films who had tasted
only moderate success with Lamhe and Juhi Chawla, who was looking
for perfect ending to the year 1993 so as to come up as Number 1
in the film industry. Shah Rukh had already had a monster hit in
baazigar and was hot as sun, Juhi was resplendent and challenging
the queens of Bollywood, Sridevi and Madhuri and more than that
we had a Yash Raj Banner. The song Jaadu Teri Nazar had become a
rage and add the ever dependable Sunny Deol who was coming back
from critical appreciation from Damini and you had a lethal combo
lined up. The movie moves at good pace usually with perhaps a
little too many incidents in the second half. Those could have
been done away with. And like the movies of early 90 s it does
not have the polished look that yash Raj films were to master
with DTPH. Cinematography is quite ordinary at places and the
music is pretty ordinary save a couple of songs. The direction is
good most of the time but it does not have the deft touches which
made Lamhe a classic. Performance wise it is perhaps SRK s more
original performance, rest all the films are a copy of this
performance with an addition here and a deletion there. KKK Kiran
is so much like KKK Kaurwaki. It is definite benchmark for the
performances of SRK. But still it would have been nice if he had
just curbed his instincts a little and given a controlled
performance. Sunny is as plastic as u get and Juhi has pretty
much nothing to do but look pretty. Anupam Kher is irritating to
say the least. Rest of the cast r there to just compete is a
wildlife park. Overall the high that SRK and Juhi were in 1993
got the film a fantastic initial and also miffed more feathers
like Sunny who cled to have been sidelined completely in the
film. Yash Raj banner was established and though the movie did
not win any major awards it established the Yash Raj banner and
gave it the direction to go to in 1990 s." --mouthshut.com
