1. Planet Bollywood by Rakesh Budhu
Undoubtedly, Chalte Chalte is the kind of film the masses will clamor up to. It’s the kind of film people expect to see Shah Rukh Khan in when he’s not busy doing his rare films like Asoka or Devdas. Furthermore, it has entertainment value, songs, comedy and the emotion. The film is enjoyable overall, however, retrospectively speaking; Chalte Chalte could have been much more. I’m sure walking out of the cinema you’d hear, “after a long time we’ve had a nice film”. I hope that doesn’t send signals off to our directors (especially after Andaaz), as that is just an indication of how horrible previous releases have been.
For Chalte Chalte, fault lies in that there is emphasis placed on the marital problems but all resolutions are faux. The one powerhouse scene where Raj confronts Priya about her asking Sameer for money is still left unresolved at the end of the film and while the moral is that problems are to be worked out and not placed too much emphasis on, the couple never really discuss their problem without remaining one sided. Sure the issues are realistic but the film lacks the realistic solution. ..read full review...

Chalte Chalte adheres to the age-old Bollywood formula of two strangers meeting, falling in love and later getting married, only to get separated. Misunderstandings and lack of adjustments drives two lovers apart. In this period of separation the two take a stock of things and realize their own mistakes.
Shahrukh Khan plays Raj, the owner of a transport company. He is a fun-loving guy who likes getting in the driver's seat at the drop of a hat and is also an ardent admirer of Sunny Deol's songs.
Onefine evening, Raj has a coincidental encounter with the lady of his dreams Priya (Rani Mukherji) on his way to Mahabaleshwar hill station.
Priya is a modern and suave girl who hails from Greece. She is a fashion designer and has high hopes from her life....read full review...
3. Bollywood Hungama By Joginder Tuteja
Shah Rukh Khan, Jatin-Lalit, Javed Aktar and Aziz Mirza - the team has never gone wrong when it comes to music of their films. Addition to the porty is Aadesh Srivastava and what we get is the third venture from Dreamz Unlimited after Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani - a satire on commercialization of society and Asoka - a historical. Both the movies had their fair share of merit but couldn't do much at the box-office. With Chalte Chalte,the producer trio of Khan, Mirza and Juhi Chawla, in association with UTV Productions, play safe and come up with a romantic feel good flick !! A lover boy role has always paid for SRK - DDLJ, KKHH, DTPH and Mohabbatein being case in point. But his role in Chalte Chalte (CC) is diametrically opposite to his role in DTPH. Whereas in DTPH he played a guy who doesn't believe in love and the concept of two people living together for an entire life after marriage, in CC it is his character who is tooooo.... mushy at heart, tooooo....romantic and toooo....moony eyed. Whereas the girl he wooes and gets married to - Rani Mukherjee - is the opposite who is much more level headed (though being fairly romantic at heart) and much more practical. And the situations that arise due to such conflicting personalities forms the crux of the storyline of CC !!
Coming to music of CC, it has 4 tracks by Aadesh Srivastava and 3 by Jatin Lalit. And this has to be agreed that both Aadesh and musician duo of Jatin Lalit deliver music that goes with the mood of the movies rather than doing something to prove their supremacy over the other. Music conveys their individual styles and still manages to gel well with the overall narrative of the movie. Examples being 'Tauba Tumhaare Yeh Ishaare' and ' Suno Na Suno Na'. Both the tracks are extrememly melodious, very well composed - - - and they are distinct compositions by Jatin Lalit (Tauba) and Aadesh (Suno Na). Common factor is Abhijeet who has always sung award winning numbers for SRK...read full review...

King Khan is back. And this time it's in a big way. The release of CHALTE CHALTE seems like a jar of fresh fruit juice to the much parched Bollywood. A weak story, but with amazing performance and good direction the film will definitely go places. So what's it all about. Actually there is no story...
Raj (Shah Rukh Khan) is a spontaneous, hard working, a middle-class man. Priya (Rani) is mature, practical and sophisticated. Opposites attract. They know that both of them are very, very different. Their attitude, thinking and lifestyle are nowhere close. But who cares, love is all that matters. Raj and Priya ignore facts and bind in matrimony.
Reality dawns, though a little late. Love exists but surfaces at the bottom. Meeting your lover is no more thrilling for both of them. Both don't find the need to impress or express love. Afterall how does it matter anymore?...read full review...
