Director: Yash Chopra
Cast: Shahrukh Khan, Katrina Kaif, Anushka Sharma
b! says: *** & 1/2
With his last movie, Yash Chopra certainly doesn?t redefine romance, but does celebrate it with big-budget pomp and glory. ?Jab Tak Hai Jaan? is an easy watch and even though it doesn?t tick every logical box, it?s the sort of movie that will make you fall in love with love again.
Major Samar Anand (Shah Rukh Khan) is an Indian army officer with the bomb disposal unit, who?s gained a reputation for being the man who cannot die, defusing explosives without a protective suit. He rescues documentary maker Akira (Anushka Sharma) from drowning and accidentally leaves behind his diary. Akira reads it and discovers that the real reason behind Samar?s devil-may-care attitude is his lost love, Meera (Katrina Kaif). In a flashback, Meera and Samar?s love story in London is told, and Akira is inspired enough to make Samar the subject of her new documentary. Several twists of fate force the three to cross paths, and love stories, old and new, are tested to their breaking point.
Khan is in his element, sweeping his leading ladies and women in the audience off their feet, with intense stares and memorable monologues. But the man certainly can?t kiss. His lip locks with Katrina Kaif in the film look awkward and we?ve seen him blow air kisses to fans with more feeling. Anushka Sharma lights up the screen in every one of her scenes. Her chemistry with Khan has grown ten fold since ?Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi? and she delivers a likeable and confident performance.
The real problem with ?Jab Tak Hai Jaan? is china doll, Katrina Kaif. She?s pretty as a picture but has the emoting skills of a block of wood. Her dialogue delivery is affected and her weeping looks as real as Koena Mitra?s nose. The movie?s also ridden with plot holes, particularly in Samar and Meera?s love story. While we can let some slide citing creative license, others require an inhuman leap of logic.
Still, ?Jab Tak Hai Jaan? has its heart in the right place. Go watch it to resurrect the hidden romantic in you.
