Which era do these people belong to!' Rani Mukherjee exclaims about the Pakistani girl and the Indian man who live with the 'idea' of love for 22 years.
Old yet passionate, frail yet sublime, the estranged lovers in Yash Chopra's eagerly awaited film are no ordinary love birds. Their body language, demeanor, speech and attitude hark back to an era when emotions were hallmarks of human nature, not designer things to be used as and when required in bubblegum concoctions that masquerade as romantic musicals in our wretched times. By the time the utterly evocative theme song about two inseparable souls torn apart by fate comes on, we're so enamored of Yash Chopra's film that we surrender entirely and unquestioningly to his prescription of romantic passion. Just when we thought heart-warming tales of undying love were a dying art form, 'Veer-Zaara' comes along. It is the sort of sublimely designed, delicately threaded romantic fable that comes once in a while to win hearts and influence people. After all, a film directed by Yash Chopra is no ordinary event.
'Veer-Zaara' is a little more extraordinary than we expect it to be. While telling a fluent story about a love that cuts captivatingly across the India-Pakistan border, Chopra, for the first time in his romantic oeuvre, introduces ideas that transcend romance. Through the strong and very memorable character of the rookie lawyer Samiya (Rani Mukherjee), ideas on female literacy and women's empowerment seep into the narrative. Nothing about the romance between the Indian Air Force pilot and the aristocratic Pakistani girl is overstated.
There are no raised voices (even when the heroine's father scolds her he does it sotto voce). There's no screaming, no attention-getting tactics.And yet the films gets it.All of our attention, though it takes a bit of time to get over the longish bits of Punjabi dialogues among Amitabh Bachchan (playing Shah Rukh's prankish old-man), Hema Malini (hopelessly out of her depth in the robust Punjabi milieu), Shah Rukh and Preity. Once the slight hiccups are done, it's as simple as falling in love.
'Veer-Zaara' builds its case for the protagonists' unbreakable bonding through a neo-classical blend of song and emotion. Chopra unleashes a temperate tidal wave of feelings that swim teasingly just beneath the surface. The surge of love between two people belonging to entirely different cultures and lands is collected into a quaint and quivering collage of memory and melody. The narration moves of its own melodious volition. The music and songs by the late Madan Mohan and the profound yet simple poetry of Javed Akhtar supplement the melody of romance with enchanting articulations of heart that know not why they love and sing.
They just do. Chopra has terrific help from cameraman Anil Mehta who beautifies the rugged rural landscape without making it appear fairytale-like in proportion. Shah Rukh and Preity fill the splendid rustic spaces with sounds of love. But the protagonists' geopolitical credentials never appear forced or labored. Veer and Zaara are who they are. In sequences such as the one where Veer meets Zaara's fiance (Manoj Bajpai) on the railway station, or when Zaara's mother (the brilliantly passionate Kirron Kher) implores Veer to give back her daughter for the sake of family honor, are potentially cliched situations converted into a celebration of life through the writer's imagination. The writing skills imparted to the story of 'forbidden' love are immense, and so is the performance level of the cast.
Rani's deeply studied, utterly heroic part of the activist-lawyer is uplifting. Once again Shah Rukh confers his charismatic personality on a role that has many shades of emotions. His performance as the old man in the courtroom where after being absolved of all crimes he reads out a poem is rabble rousing. And those who thought Preity couldn't be rustic and earthy, better watch how she slips into Zaara's slippers, imparting a coltish seductiveness to the part. Kirron Kher, Divya Dutta and Manoj Bajpai bring tremendous feeling to the supporting parts. But the director's true allies in this creative endeavour are the photography and the music. The use of spatial harmony in the haunting climactic song 'Tere liye' is a measure of Chopra's power and skills of narration.
The calibre of the late Madan Mohan's music is certainly high grade. Many scenes are elevated by the quality of music. 'Veer-Zaara' is a very simple story of immense nobility and idealism. Its contours are fleshed out with the most precious colors of life to complete a picture that is at once symmetrical and sublime, sweet, tender and yet secreting a core of strength and conviction that takes it beyond the conventional romantic musicals.
By the way I LOVE PREITY!!! Courtesy of kzay n india-glitz. I am not new to enjoying Bollywood Movies-just slightly lapsed-and enjoying them as much if not more than I used to.I have been back 'into' Bollywood for about two years having first enjoyed them when stationed on a little tiny island in The Indian Ocean-many years ago.I am very much a Romantic,SO-Bollywood Movies do it for me.
VEER-ZAARA is a Classic.When I first watched it I was spellbound.I watched it from beginning to end.Sometimes I laughed,sometimes I cried.The Story has been chronicled many times so I will not repeat the storyline which has been very ably told. Shahrukh Khan-well He is Shahrukh and a Master at what He does.His performance is flawless as it has been in all his films that I have seen-In this one He Excels-Not heard of any Bollywood Actors receiving Oscars or have I missed that!! Preity Zinta-seen a few films with her in-having read The storyline I did not think that she had been well cast.Oh Boy!was I wrong.I may be incorrect but I heard that Preity was not first choice for the part!!Well whoever it was,Sorry.Preity-You were FANTASTIC!! First Film I have seen with Rani Mukerji in.She is STUNNING-she took my breath away-and still does. The Film IS a Classic.I am only sorry that it has not been dubbed!Maybe a thought for the Future as I am sure more people would watch them-ME-I don't care I will watch them anyway.
This is one of the best movies of all time. A masterpiece of a movie like only Yash Raj (Yash Chopra) Films makes; makes you wish there were a 100 more movies of this quality beyond those made by this company; the truly golden days of Indian cinema which is changed so much recently that it makes this movie a true classic.
Seeing it again a year later and a year after that it's still as poignantly beautiful and vibrant as it was the first time around. Though some of the subject matter is quite sad, it's always interspersed with such an engaging and beautiful story throughout which has tremendous joy in much of the movie also; so full of heart. Beautiful cinematography, great acing. It feels true to life and with a message of humanity in it. Shahrukh Khan (lead actor) is just superb in this.

A truly memorable work of cinema. Veer Zaara is my FAVORITE Bollywood movie!
Its a touching film about the true meaning of love, and its sacrifices - whether one is willing to only look out for themselves & their own needs, or be willing to give up what matters most for the best interests of the one they love. Even though my parents are from India, my brother and I didn't watch many Hindi/Bollywood movies growing up. At home, my family either spoke English or Konkani (an Indo-Aryan language belonging to the Indo-European family of languages spoken on the western coast of India as well as the official language of the state of Goa, and a minority language in the state of Karnataka and northern Kerala) so with the exception of the sporadic Hindi classes we took as children, we did not have much experience with Hindi. Because we understand very little (just a few random words, phrases, etc.) of Hindi, and subtitles were not available on the VHS tapes, we had to rely on our mom for translation of the dialogue. Though I'm sure she tried her best, what would inevitably happen is that while she was translating one segment of conversation, she would miss the next one, so there would be huge gaps in the translation, and often essential dialogue would deliberately (if she didn't want to translate something, thinking we weren't old enough to hear it) or accidently left out.
So we had to figure out the story from the pictures and inconsistent & incomplete translations. As a result, we didn't watch many Bollywood movies growing up (the only Hindi movies I saw in childhood & adolescence were, and a couple/few others) I can count on one hand (with a couple of extra fingers!) or maybe two hands at the most, the number of Hindi movies I saw as a child.
But since the advent of DVDs, and Youtube, and online movie streaming, I've started watching a lot more Bollywood (and other genre) movies with English subtitles and I've been REALLY enjoying it! I LOVE BOLLYWOOD movies!
Out of all the Bollywood movies that I've now seen (at least a few dozen) 'Veer Zaara' is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE movie! Veer-Zaara is a poignant film about the sacrifices of true love, and stars Shahrukh Khan, Preity Zinta, Rani Mukherjee, with supporting roles by Amitabh Bachchan, Hema Malini, Kirron Kher, Manoj Bajpai, and Boman Irani. SPOILERS AHEAD!!! Squadron Leader Veer Pratap Singh (Shahrukh Khan) is a rescue pilot with the Indian Air Force, an orphan who was raised by his aunt & uncle (with Hema Malini, and Amitabh Bachchan in guest-starring roles) and as a child dreamed of flying, and following the legacy of his father (who died in service to the country). Capt Veer Pratap Singh is living his dream as a rescue pilot when he is called to assist at the scene of a bus accident, and he meets Zaara Hayaat Khan (Preity Zinta), a naive young Pakistani girl who is traveling alone from Lahore, Pakistan to the holy Sikh city of Kiritpur in India, to scatter the ashes of 'Bebe', her beloved Sikh nanny, and fulfill her dying wish. Veer saves Zaara's life, and after a whirlwind friendship & romance, neither of their lives is ever the same again. Twenty-two years later (set in the present-day - 2004 at the time) an idealistic young lawyer Saamiya Siddiqui (Rani Mukherjee) who is working for the Human Rights Commission, trying to fill the large footprints of her late father (also a defender of human rights) gets her first case, and comes face-to-face with an aging Veer Pratap Singh.
He has been rotting away in a prison cell in Lahore, Pakistan for the past 22 years, labeled as an Indian spy, Rajesh Rathod. But because Veer Singh 'remained silent' since his arrest over two decades earlier, never speaking to anyone (even during his years of incarceration) no one (like other lawyers) was able to defend him.
But now, the case of Veer Pratap Singh has been re-opened by the Pakistani Government, and as Saamiya is assigned to be his defense attorney, she needs to unearth the TRUE reason why Veer Pratap Singh is behind bars. Though reluctant to speak, at first, eventually Veer opens up to Saamiya, and his story tumbles out (in flashback scenes) of how he met Zaara, their whirlwind friendship & romance, and their falling in love and all that happened afterward - a story of love, duty, courage and the sacrifices of true love. Veer Zara 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! A BEAUTIFUL movie in every way!!! ☆★☆★☆ 5 STARS!!!!!!!!!!!
I am a 68 yr old American so my review comes after years of seeing some of the worst and most brilliant films ever made! This movie is up with, if possibly, the best! Visually stunning, sometimes funny, and deeply moving. You will be transported to India/Pakistan and take part in a love story that will touch your own heart with the sacrifices and power of true love demonstrated in it's many forms. I hope each viewer comes away from this as touched as I was that one person, each individual, can make a real change in this troubled world by operating in love!
