Squadron Leader Veer Pratap Singh is a rescue pilot with the Indian Air Force, who risks his own life to save the lives of others. One day, on duty, he comes across a stranded Zaara... a girl from Pakistan. Zaara, a carefree, sprightly girl has come to India to fulfill her surrogate mother's dying wish. She meets with a bus accident leaving her stranded in a foreign land. Veer saves her life... and his life is never the same again... Twenty-two years later, Saamiya Siddiqui, a Pakistani lawyer on her first case, finds herself face-to-face with an ageing Veer Pratap Singh. He has languished in a Pakistan jail cell for 22 years and has not spoken to anyone all these years - and no one knows why. Her mission is to discover the truth about Veer and see to it that justice is served. And thus starts her journey to unveil the truth... the story of Veer and his life... Why has Veer been silent for 22 years? Why is he in a jail in Pakistan? Where is Zaara? What happened to her? God has written the destinies of Veer and Zaara, such that they can never be joined together. Saamiya has come to change that... to join Veer and Zaara together... forever... Veer-Zaara is not an ordinary story - it is a Love Legend... Veer and Zaara's love legend. This is a saga of love, separation, courage and sacrifice. A love that is divine, a love that is whole-hearted, a love that is completely consuming, a love that grows with separation, deepens with sacrifice. A love that is an inspiration... and will remain a legend forever. |

Immortal Tale of True Love |

This is one of the few true straight up dramas that I love. It is a story of true sacrificial love and it works quite well. Even at three hours it is sustains its self very well. A true classic of Bollywood. |

If you want 3 hours of pure non-stop entertainment, with great acting performances along with good script and dialogues, Veer-Zaara is for you.
ShahRukh Khan, the soul of Veer-Zaara, plays the role of ill-fated lover with great finesse. Preity Zinta looks pretty and acted quite well. Rani Mukherjee
has played the role of a mature woman to the perfection where nobody could have done better then her. Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini aren’t too integral to the story of the film, but they, especially Bachchan and his expressions, were quite good. Anupam Kher is fantastic in his cameo as the prosecution lawyer - be it his mannerisms or his dialogue delivery. Manoj Bajpai is decent; Kirron Kher and Divya Dutta are over-the-top, while Boman Irani is criminally wasted.
Music is terrific, songs are great and rich lyrics of Javed Akhtar just act as honey in the milk. Dialogues are very intense and will certainly move you from inside! The movie moves at a very fast pace and even though the length is about three and half hours, yet it’s always able to keep the audience glued to the seats.
Overall, such movies come quite few in one's lifetime and cannot be missed. |
