‘Chaahat’ (1996) was produced by Robin Bhatt and Viral Lakhia under the banner of Bhatt Productions and was directed by Mahesh Bhatt. The cast included Shah Rukh Khan, Pooja Bhatt, Ramya Krishnan, Naseeruddin Shah, Anupam Kher, Avtar Gill, Mushtaq Khan, Tiku Talsania, Pankaj Berry, Anant Jog, Razak Khan, Shrivallabh Vyas, Rajni Bala, Amrit Patel, Alia Bhatt (as a child artist) etc.
The story of the film is mainly built around three extreme characters in terms of love and obsession. Naseeruddin Shah’s love for his sister Ramya can take him to any extent to make her happy. Ramya’s obsessive love for Shah Rukh Khan can trigger her to attempt suicide if she fails to get Shah Rukh Khan for herself. Pooja’s love for Shah Rukh Khan can make her the biggest sacrifice of her life. The confrontations between these extreme characters make the film a romantic thriller in which Shah Rukh Khan is sandwiched between these characters.
Interestingly, for Shah Rukh Khan, it was his first film under the direction of Mahesh Bhatt. The second film under his direction was ‘Duplicate’ (1998). Unfortunately, both these films flopped at the box office. Thereafter, so far, they had no occasion to work together.
The story of the film is as under:
Shambhunath Rathore (Anupam Kher), a widower and his son Roop (Shah Rukh Khan) are Rajasthani folk singers who earn for a living by singing for the visiting tourists at a 5-star hotel in Jaipur. Shambhunath is suffering from a persistent cough which is diagnosed as throat cancer. Roop decides that he must take his father to Mumbai for better medical treatment.
In Mumbai, Roop gets his father, Shambhunath admitted in a hospital for which he requires a lot of money for hospitalisation and sustaining himself in a big city. Luckily, through his village friend who works in a 5-star hotel, Roop gets to meet Ajay Narang (Naseeruddin Shah), a hotelier during which Roop sings for a birthday party in the hotel. Ajay’s sister, Reshma (Ramya Krishna) becomes infatuated with Roop with his singing. Roop gets a job in the hotel as a singer. Over a period of time, Reshma gets obsessed with Roop to the extent that she becomes possessive of him.
Meanwhile, both Shambu and Roop meet Pooja (Pooja Bhatt), a young nurse in the hospital. Shambhunath feels that she could be a good match for his son. Roop has also the same feeling for Pooja. They fall in love. But Reshma has become so obsessed with Roop that she wants him exclusively for herself. She uses her loving brother, Ajay’s money and muscle power. Roop leaves the singing job at Ajay’s hotel and joins a hotel owned by Ajay’s rival, Patel (Shrivallabh Vyas) as a singer. For the sake of Reshma, Ajay gets Patel beaten and forces him to sack Roop from his hotel. Roop is forced to sacrifice his love for Pooja and join Reshma for the sake of father’s operations for which he needs Ajay’s money.
Shambhunath’s operation is successful. Both father and son along with Pooja plan to leave Mumbai for Rajasthan. However, their plan is put on hold as Reshma tries to commit suicide. Eventually, Roop and Pooja get married. This frustrates Reshma to such an extent that she makes Roop and Pooja’s life miserable through Ajay. There are fights between Ajay and Roop during which Shambhunath is accidentally killed by Ajay. This follows the fierce fights between Ajay and Roop. Reshma gets hold of Pooja and orders Roop to stop the fight failing which she would push Pooja out of the terrace. Roop stops fight with Ajay. Taking advantage of this, Ajay fires at Roop and Pooja to kill them but the bullets hit Reshma who dies.
The film ends with Roop and Pooja walking out of the hotel. Looking up at the sky, Roop addresses his deceased father that his wish has been fulfilled and his son is united with Pooja.
The good work in the film gets faltered in the last about 30 minutes during which there are violent fights between Ajay (Naseeruddin Shah) and Roop (Shah Rukh Khan) at his hotel roof top. The scenes during their fights defy logic and sometime appear ridiculous. Reshma (Ramya) is shown in the film as being obsessively in love with Roop. But when Ajay constantly hit him to the extent that he is grievously hurt, Reshma just watches them fight without any reaction. There are hundreds of Ajay’s guests on the roof top of the hotel but none of them even tries to stop the fight. It appears like all the guests are watching a ‘free style boxing’ fights between Ajay and Roop. Lastly, despite grievously hurt, Roop has the strength of a wrestler to beat Ajay to such an extent that he is unable to fight. A bit of realism was missing during the fight scenes.
‘Chaahat’ (1996) has 7 songs written by Nida Fazli (4), Neeraj (1), Dev Kohli (1) and Maya Govind (1) which were set to music by Anu Malik. I am presenting the first song from the film, ‘dil ki tanhaaee ko aawaaz banaa lete hain’ to appear on the Blog. The song is rendered by Kumar Sanu on the words of Nida Fazli. The song is preceded by a she’r rendered by a male voice which, I feel, is that of Anu Malik. A she’r is again rendered by a male voice in one of the interludes which again I feel is that of Anu Malik.
The background to the song is that Ajay (Naseeruddin Shah), the hotelier has hosted a birthday party of his sister, Reshma (Ramya) when she hears a singing voice from the roadside. She calls him in the party to sing. She is impressed by his singing and from this point, Reshma becomes obsessed with Roop (Shah Rukh Khan). She recommends him to Ajay to be employed in his hotel as a singer. The highlight of the song sequence is the excellent performance of Ramya as a voluptuous lady as Shah Rukh Khan sings and Naseeruddin Shah as a host watches him.
