Chalte Chalte (transl. On the Way) is a 2003 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama starring Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukerji in lead roles, directed by Aziz Mirza. It marked the last production venture of Dreamz Unlimited prior to rebranding to Red Chillies Entertainment in late 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.

At the 49th Filmfare Awards, Chalte Chalte received 5 nominations, including Best Actress (Mukerji) and Best Music Director (Jatin-Lalit).
