Kiran Awasthi, a beautiful college student, visits her brother Vijay and his wife Poonam upon her return back to home. Rahul Mehra, her classmate who has a crush on her, is relentlessly following her. An SF officer in the Indian Navy named Lieutenant Sunil Malhotra is Kiran's boyfriend. His Commanding Officer Captain Avinash Mehra, is Rahul's father.
Rahul makes an effort to be friendly with Sunil in order to be near Kiran. Rahul keeps calling her when she gets home and asks her to avoid Sunil, but despite her fear, she rejects Rahul's authority over her. She and her family are frightened when he visits her on both her birthday and Holi. Kiran and Sunil become engaged thanks to Vijay and Poonam, who think the stalker would never bother Kiran again.
Upon learning this, a furious Rahul attempts to murder Sunil but is unsuccessful. When Sunil is chasing Rahul, the stalker he doesn't know is Rahul, he has an accident and is taken to the hospital. Kiran chooses to flee the city so that the stalker won't harm her beloved any longer but is apprehended by Sunil, who marries her that very night. Rahul is enraged by this and vows to take Kiran for himself. He kills the police officers sent to protect the couple and vandalizes their new home with graffiti reading "Shaadi mubarak Kiran" (Congrats on your marriage, Kiran) and "Tum meri ho Kiran" (You are mine, Kiran).
This horrifies Kiran, who worries that she might lose her mind. Sunil decides to take Kiran on a honeymoon to Switzerland while booking extra tickets to Goa, so that the stalker goes away by misunderstanding that the couple is in Goa. Rahul falls for the trick and looks everywhere for Kiran in Goa in vain, but couldn't find her. Instead, he meets Vikram "Vicky" Oberoi, a friend from college, who is ill. Rahul then makes an effort to get to know Kiran's brother and sister-in-law by paying them daily visits to learn about Kiran's location.
Vicky calls Rahul and invites him to meet him. When he does, he discovers him on his deathbed, pleading with Rahul to kill him since he can no longer bear the anguish. After a brief pause, he kills his companion while creating the illusion that Vicky was the stalker. Kiran's family believes the stalker killed himself after failing to find Kiran and relax. Rahul is informed of her true whereabouts, and he shows up at her hotel.
He is acknowledged by Kiran and Sunil, who invite him to join their celebrations. Sunil later learns that Rahul was Kiran's stalker all along. As Rahul begs for compassion, he confronts Rahul and beats him up before sending Kiran off on a boat. When Sunil hesitates, Rahul stabs him and then abandons him to perish. Later, as Rahul arrives at the boat, he tries to marry Kiran without her will and informs her that Sunil has died. Despite her pleading and begging, he hands her his mother's old saree and orders her to wear it.
Kiran locks herself in a room in the boat. When the boat's door is smashed and Kiran is yanked back out by Rahul and agrees to marry Rahul, then it is discovered that Sunil didn't actually die and he returns to save Kiran. Sunil fights Rahul and ends up killing him. As Rahul dies, he pleads to Kiran not to hate him anymore. Kiran and Sunil return to India and visit their relatives once again.
Aditya Chopra, Yash Chopra's eldest son, wanted to make a film similar to Cape Fear (1991) starring Robert De Niro, with Raveena Tandon playing Kiran, Deepak Malhotra essaying Sunil and Saahil Chadha playing the role which went to Shah Rukh Khan, but Yash Chopra decided to take over the project and eventually changed the casting.[2]
Sridevi, who had previously worked with Chopra in Chandni (1989) and Lamhe (1991), was the original choice for the role of Kiran. The role was planned much like her previous roles in Chandni and Lamhe. However, she wanted Kiran to be the obsessed lover instead of the victim; Chopra refused this change of plot, which caused Sridevi to opt out.[3] Madhuri Dixit was the next choice, but she refused. Aishwarya Rai was screen tested for the role, but did not make the cut. Divya Bharti was then signed.
Sanjay Dutt was the original choice of the role of antagonist Rahul, but Chopra was unable to finalise him because of his jail sentence due to illegal possession of arms. Sudesh Berry was then considered for the role, but was rejected after a screen test.[4] The role was then offered to Ajay Devgn who turned the role down due to other commitments.[5][6]
Rishi Kapoor, Mithun Chakraborty and Jackie Shroff were offered the role of Sunil, but they refused. Nitish Bharadwaj was then approached for Sunil's role, due to his popularity as Lord Krishna in B. R. Chopra's Mahabharat. Bharadwaj rejected the role as he felt the role was not challenging enough. The role eventually went to Sunny Deol, who had earlier been offered the role of the antagonist. Deol had declined it, believing that a negative role would be a risk to his career.
Darr's soundtrack marked one of the earliest instances of Udit Narayan supplying his voice for Shah Rukh Khan. Narayan's voice went on to be featured in the soundtracks of every single one of Khan's collaborations with Yash Raj Films until Chak De! India (2007).
The teaser trailer for an intended five-part web series Darr 2.0 was released on YouTube on August 30, 2016. It was set to be a retelling of the film in a contemporary setting, portraying cyber-stalking and digital crimes. The web series was set to be produced by Ashish Chopra under the banner of Y-Films and directed by Vikash Chandra. Screenplay and dialogues are by Nikhil Taneja and Shubham Yogi.[19][20] The series was shelved.
