Deewana

Deewana was Shah Rukh Khan's first released motion picture. He had been in two or three television series, and two other movies that were not released. Shar Rukh does not appear until after the intermission in this movie. The movie begins with Ravi, a popular singing idol, falling for Kajol, a country lass groupie. They finally marry and begin to enjoy marital bliss when an evil uncle hunts them down, kills Ravi, tries to kill Kajol and Ravi's mother, and attempts to inherit the substantial fortune that would be left behind. Kajol, after witnessing Ravi's death, finds her way back to her mother-in-law and they both relocate to escape the uncle's plans.

Time passes. Kajol is disconsolate and then Shah Rukh Khan's character runs them down in the street with his motorcycle. He is smitten with one look at Kajol and begins to follow her around like a lost puppy. He carves her name in his arm with a knife. With persistance and sound reasoning, he persuades the mother-in-law to give him Kajol's hand in marriage. She is unwilling, but acceeds to her mother's wishes. The rest of the story shows (Shah Rukh) Deewana's courtship of Kajol and her eventual response to his character. There is an unexpected twist at the end. This movie, reportedly, put Shah Rukh on the road to stardom. The initial audiences vociferously and enthusiastically loved him in this movie.
