A lot has been said about the story line and stuff. I will confine myself to a few comments only: 1. Audiences go to the cinema hall for entertainment and any film that could hold them for 3 hrs is bound to be a hit. The one which has moments that could grip you in between does average business and rest are flops. Chalte Chalte with its music, acting, frames, screen play is one such film that grips you during the three hours of viewing and has all the ingredients of being a hit. 2. Shahrukh Khan once again shows why he rules Bollywood. Taking a wafer-thin plot all on his own to convert it into an Ace speaks volumes about the actors class. Anybody anywhere in hindi/urdu speaking communities can correlate himself to his role. After larger than life roles (and that too hits), the actor has managed to come up with a light film in a style and has shown why he is distinct in the best actor hall of Indian cinema. 3. This film might be the turning point of Rani Mukherjee's career and Aishwaria Rai might consider unlucky losing this film. 4. Aziz Mirza deserves full marks for keeping the story simple and executing it with style. 5. "Prem Nagarya" number reminds one of the 80's Yash Chopra or early 90's Rakesh Roshan numbers and is refreshing. 6. Chalte Chalte once again proves the fact that if a film is made keeping in view what audience wants, it will be a hit. Else, how could a film with a repeated theme, usual story line could be a hit.
