I love you K-k-k-Kiran.

It would just be another run-of-the-mill proclamation of love, if it wasn't for the stammering. That made all the difference, making this the signature line of Yash Chopra's Darr.

Released 12 years ago, Darr dealt with the constant obsession of a not-so-normal young man. Fairly unusual, you would think, for an Indian audience, who around then was fed on a strict diet of colossal action, lollipop romances and corny comedies?

Maybe the idea of a mentally sick fellow (played by Shah Rukh Khan) writing letters in blood, engraving the name of the object of affection on his shaved chest with a knife, having lengthy telephonic conversations with his deceased mommy, hounding the girl relentlessly and making furious fatal attempts on her fiance thrilled the starved viewer.
