[edit] Reception
Chalte Chalte was a moderate box office success mainly due to the draw of the film's lead pair. However it was given a cold shoulder by most critics as it was considered a very clichéd film of it's genre.
[edit] Development
This was the third film produced by Shahrukh Khan and Juhi Chawla's company, Dreamz Unlimited. Neither of their first two films (Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani (2000) and Asoka (2001) did well at the box office. However, Chalte Chalte was a success.
According to Shah Rukh, Rani Mukherjee was asked to play the heroine but she was booked for other films and had to turn it down. Aishwarya Rai was signed for the role, but had to leave the set after some problems with her then boyfriend, star Salman Khan. He is said to have disrupted filming. The film then got delayed. Rani happened to be free at this point and agreed to take over the role and save the film.[1]
Rani Mukherjee had a complete makeover for the role. Her new look was also widely noted.[2]
