On the sands of time: 1993
Year of choli ke peechhe...
M. L. Dhawan
IN Yash Chopra’s Darr, the narcissistic and psychotic Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan) made Kiran’s (Juhi Chawla) life a nightmare. As an obsessive lover compulsively craving another man’s wife, he was driven to insanity, believing that the woman he loved, loved him too. So possessed was he that he was ready to wipe out anyone who came in the way of his ‘possessing’ Kiran. He justified his peccadilloes before the imagined presence of his long-dead mother. In the finale, of course, Sunil (Sunny Deol), Kiran’s husband, saved his beleaguered wife from the clutches of the psychotic lover.
