Jab tak hai Jaan

*ing : Shahrukh Khan, Katrina Kaif, Anushka Sharma
Director : Yash Chopra

Tagline : A Yash Chopra Romance


Jab tak hai jaan was the most awaited movie for me since it was announced. First, it was shahrukh khan’s film. It was to be directed by the legend Yash Chopra. It had Katrina Kaif for the first time with Shahrukh. Also, Anushka Sharma who is emerging as one of the most promising actress. Music was by A R Rahman and Lyrics by Gulzar. It just cudnt hv gotten bigger. The promos were all too exciting. SRK in a romantic role in a film directed by Yash Chopra. All the promos were great but quite ambiguous in nature not giving away anything about the story and everyone kept wondering what the story cud be like. And then the music got released and it was such a heartbreaking one. It was no where close to Rahman’s or Gulzar’s best and the final film of Yash Chopra deserved better music. Even the video songs were rather cold and did not give much excitement abt the prospect of seeing them on the screen. Except perhaps challa.
in normal circumstances I wud hv seen the film first day first show bt I was in a place where I cudnt hv seen the film first day first show so I had to wait few days to watch it. and the verdict of the film is mixed. Coz there are soo many things to hate in movie, yet there are soo many things to like. Katrnia and Anushka are too good. Cinematography is excellent. But the story is soo silly it is almost ridiculous. Wonder why Yash Chopra agreed on such silly story written by his son Aditya Chopra. Having said that, there is certain conviction in the story telling which makes all these believable. Best thing about film is Shahrukh Khan. He towers in the role as the lover boy and looks extremely dashing playing army man flirting with death everyday. He has never looked soo intense. He is clearly the best looking army men we hv ever had on screen. ! having said that, he has a lip kiss in the movie and I strongly thing he shud not hv done it. his stance on no kissing was that made him different from other wanna be stars.
I missed the first 20 mins of the movie and I plan to watch it once again. Hopefully soon in a better theatre with better audience.
