Chalte Chalte (transl. On the Way) is a 2003 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama starring Shahrukh Khan and Rani Mukerji, directed by Aziz Mirza. The film was screened at the Casablanca Film Festival. It marked the last production venture of Dreamz Unlimited before transforming into Red Chillies Entertainment in 2003.
The film begins in a bowling alley, where a group of friends is awaiting the arrival of Salim. Meanwhile, Deepak arrives with his fiancée Sheetal. When a conversation about love arises, Deepak and the rest find it necessary to make Sheetal aware that true love does exist. They tell her the story of Raj and Priya, two of their closest friends.
Raj Mathur, a graduate of engineering, is the owner of Raj Transport, a small trucking company he founded himself. Raj is a carefree man who is unorganised, messy, lazy and never on time. Although he isn’t the richest, he’s always happy.
On the other hand, Priya Chopra is a successful fashion designer from a wealthy family. Originally from Greece, she lives with her aunt Anna, who wants to give her the best in life. Priya has her life all planned out – the complete opposite of Raj. These two completely different people meet in a car accident when Priya crashes her car into Raj’s truck. Though the two get off to a rocky start, they meet again at the wedding of Salim and Farah, eventually becoming friends. The two slowly fall in love.
Raj learns that Priya’s engaged to a man named Sameer. Desperate, he follows Priya to Greece, where he continues to woo her. When it’s time to part company, Priya realises that she is in love with Raj. They get married after persuading Priya’s parents, and arrive in Mumbai, where Raj welcomes Priya into their home.
Back to the bowling alley in the present: Salim arrives along with Farah and announces that today was Raj and Priya’s first wedding anniversary, so they were planning a surprise party. Excited, Sheetal can’t wait to meet the famous Raj and Priya, but when they do arrive, they’re nothing like what they seemed. The two can’t stop arguing.
