"Chamatkar" is a quintessential 90s Bollywood entertainer that blends comedy, the supernatural, and romance. It is often remembered as one of the early films where Shah Rukh Khan honed his signature "energetic lover boy" persona before he transitioned into the intense roles that made him a superstar later that same year (with Darr and Baazigar).

Short answer: No.
Long answer: Even though Chamatkar is an old movie (1992), it is still protected by copyright law. The rights are likely held by the production house (Dharma Movies or a successor). Downloading the movie from an unlisted directory is considered piracy.
While no police officer will knock on your door for downloading a 30-year-old film, you are violating the Copyright Act of 1957 (in India) or the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) elsewhere. More importantly, you are robbing the artists (and their legal heirs) of residual income.
You can stream Chamatkar on platforms like YouTube (official T-Series) or ZEE5.
