It’s not a
story of courage. It’s not a story of miracles. It’s a simple story of love…!
Major Samar Anand (Sharukh Khan) a
bomb defusing expert is positioned in Ladakh. Samar encounters Akira Rai a
discovery channel intern, saving her life from an accident and forgets his diary
with her. Akira accesses to Samar’s diary.
Cut to movie shifts ten years
back, where in the same Samar a church attendant cum singer encounters Meera (Katrina
Kaif) a rich brat. Meera takes singing classes from Samar only to surprise her
dad on her wedding with Roger her childhood friend.
The movie takes a twist when love
blossoms between Samar and Meera. Fate intervenes or you can call it a director’s
cut in the form of a accident leaving Meera and Samar separated. Heartbroken Samar
filled with angst for Meera leaves London as per her wish.
What happened to Meera after Samar’s
exit? Can Samar and Meera be together again? If so, how? is the plot of the
movie.
Now coming to other aspects of
the movie let me first start with direction. Late Yash Chopra has left no stone
unturned to make this movie another master piece. Be it casting, locations,
music, performances, and of course his magic direction.
Every scene has Yash Chopra’s
stamp on it be it sequences in church, showing Sharukh in black jacket with
shoulder bag and Raj Kapoor hat and his famous Guitar or his cult character name
“Raj” it has it all.
Coming to individual performances
let me start with the king of hearts one and only Sharukh khan. His charisma
rules, that is evident till today as I see young girls cheering for him in the
movie every time he is on screen. Mark me it is one of his best and the real
performances so far. He made sure the character Samar is made a cult just like
his characters raj & veer from (DDLJ & Veer Zaara). For all those
Sharukh fans you get to see him in a Lip lock for the first time on screen. (Sorry……for
revealing the secret)
Coming to the leading ladies
Katrina & Anushka both did a splendid job. Nothing to take away from Katina’s
performance but Anushka did a fabulous job ensuring the screen is lively as
long as she is there on screen.
Lastly credits to Gulzaar Saab
for some amazing lyrics & A.R.Rehman for his wonderful notes. London &
Ladakh have never been so beautiful before, thanks to Anil Mehta for his Cinematography.
The only thing that can be
debated is the length of the movie.
All in all Jab Tak Hain Jaan is
great movie to watch from a legendary director who romanced with romance through his
movies. It is a movie for all the generations. If you belong to 70’s, 80’s or
90’s era it is a beautiful walk down the memory lane. If you are a 20’s kid get
a slice of Yash Chopra romance, you would love it.
Jab Tak Hain Jaan……..Yash Chopra
romance lives on.
Rating: 5/5
