Chalte Chalte (transl. On the Way) is a 2003 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama starring Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukerji, directed by Aziz Mirza. The film was screened at the Casablanca Film Festival.

Plot

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 (Shah Rukh Khan) and Priya (Rani Mukerji), 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. 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.

Raj feels the pressure to meet the expectations of Priya’s family and is struggling financially. Priya cannot stand to see her husband in this state and secretly asks her former fiancé for money. When Raj learns the truth, he becomes destructive, and Priya runs away to her parents. Raj, realizing his error, goes after Priya, only to be insulted by her family.

Priya decides to leave for Greece because she can’t stay with Raj but can’t stay without him. When Raj is informed of this, he races to the airport to stop Priya, just as he did the year before. He says he will change and that he has a dream of the two of them starting a family together. Although Priya expresses that she has the same dream, she feels it is impossible for them to be together, so she boards the plane. Giving up, Raj remembers his oath and sends his talisman to Priya. When Priya receives the talisman, she too recalls Raj’s confession. Raj returns home to find Priya waiting for him. She says that the only way to make their dream come true is to be together. In a playful manner, the two get into another argument but they say that this is how they express their love. They continue to argue as the credits roll.
