You should only go out and buy the tickets for Chalte Chalte if you haven't seen Abhimaan, Kora Kagaz or Raja Hindustani. Director Aziz Mirza tells us the hackneyed story of Raj (Shah Rukh Khan), the owner of Raj Transport Company and Priya(Rani Mukherjee), belongs to a filthy rich family. Raj is a middle class guy who swoons over Sunny Deol's songs while Rani is a sophisticated girl from Greece and working her way up as a fashion designer.
Both bump into each other on a trip to Mahabaleshwar. Raj loses his heart to Priya but the lovely lass is engaged to Sameer (Jas Arora), a childhood friend, in Athens. But our hero doesn't blow too many chances and he lands up in Athens to woo his queen. After the routine hiccups, Priya finally gives in to Raj's charm and there goes Sameer and his dreams.
Sit tight, here comes the trouble. Just after a year of marriage, their differences start cropping up. Priya, who is a perfectionist can't bear Raj's unpunctuality while Raj is unable to cope up with her nagging attitude. The couple finally part ways and Priya moves in with Anna aunty (Lilette Dubey), who never approved their marriage. Will their love find a way?
While Shah Rukh banks upon his histrionics, it is Rani Mukherjee who steals the show in Chalte Chalte. Johnny Lever hams in his potrayal of roadside drunk Nandu. Satish Shah's Gujarati Mannubhai and Bobby Darling, the gay character seems forced.
Jatin-Lalit, Aadesh Shrivastava's music entertains you in bits and pieces. Ashok Mehta's cinematography is first-rate. Though the film has raked the moolah with the promotion of products like Castrol and Pepsi, whether it'll do the same at Box-office remains to be seen.
