Chalte Chalte (transl. On the Way) is a 2003 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama film directed by Aziz Mirza. The film stars Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukerji in the lead roles. It marked the final production venture of Dreamz Unlimited prior to its rebranding as Red Chillies Entertainment in 2003.
Chalte Chalte released on 13 June 2003, and proved to be a commercial success at the box office, grossing ₹43.28 crore (US$5.4 million) worldwide. It received positive reviews from critics upon release, with praise for its theme, screenplay, soundtrack and the lead performances; however, some critics noted a thematic similarity between the film and Saathiya (2002), which also starred Mukerji in the lead. The film was screened at the Casablanca Film Festival.
