This is a movie featuring Ghosts and made by Ghosts. People who have exhausted their quota of ideas and more importantly their USP's .
Directed by Yash Chopra . Featuring Shahrukh Khan in a Romantic role, Priety Zinta as a bubbly wench and Rani Mukherji as the conscientious damsel.
A weak plot. A screenplay steeped in uncommon drudgery and marked by mundane catch lines.
Performances below par. Shahrukh is not at all impressive in what he does. This I say, because Shahrukh 's entire career is pivoted on similar roles , where he has done better.
Preity Zinta looks pale and flabby. No charisma on her face. Her acting is BAD.
Rani Mukherji,she has done justice to her role. She's not great but not all that Bad.
The supporting cast is impressive on paper. Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher,Divya Dutta, Hema Malini,Manoj Bajpai, Boman Irani, Kiron Kher....oh my God! It reminds me of "The Longest Day".
In the movie however only a few of them perform. Hema Malini, to begin with is perhaps the widest chink in the entire cast. The director was wise enough to have made her character a South Indian woman married to a Punjabi, otherwise she would have found herself in the shoes of Katrina Kaif in an undubbed performance.
Manoj Bajpai 's character is a character devoid of reasonableness and logic. Vindictive without reason and malignant without cause. He couldn't have done any better than he did in the movie to play this role.
Kiron Kher redoes her type cast role of a concerned mother sans the usual jocular vibes.
Amitabh Bachchan does a great job of playing a true Rural Punjabi Patriarch showcasing brilliant linguistic skills and body language. For me the best actor in the movie.
Anupam Kher was also good as the cold and conniving lawyer who is also arrogant .
Boman Sahab. He is a fine actor. I like him.
The show stealer however was Aditya Chopra for giving us an extremely ordinary story, poor screenplay and top it all the shallow, amateurish poem (devoid of rhyme and meter) recited by Shahrukh in a most unconvincing manner at the end of the movie.
All in all a movie which was made to celebrate the director's historic career , but which hardly leaves a good impression.

You may get tempted to watch it again and again!
Yash Chopra is back with what he does the best. An immortal Romantic movie which just fills the heart of the viewers with immense love and affection. An Indian Air Force officer falling in love with a rich daughter of Pakistan's renowned politician was probably the perfect theme on which the story could be built. Veer Pratap Singh (Shah Rukh Khan) while on a mission saves a beautiful yet charming Pakistani girl Zaara (Preity Zinta) who has travelled across the borders to complete the final rituals of her Sikh granny.
The story moves along at a decent pace as they both become friends and later Veer falls in love with her ascends the movie to the most interesting block. Although, its a unite of a Hindu Indian and a Muslim Pakistani, the character shown at both the sides is delighting. Zaara, who was arranged to marry someone else (Manoj Bajpayee) when comes to know about the affection of Veer towards her, runs away from all the chaos and tries to forget everything.
But, as said there is always a reaction to an action, Zaara too starts loving Veer and comparing her future with the one she loves and the one she is supposed to marry. The whole story narrated by a prisoner Veer Pratap Singh himself to Samiya Siddiqui (Rani Mukherjee) who is debuting her law profession with this case. Her role provides that extra bit of intensity in the movie and sets an example of humanity.
The climax is something which one always awaits for while watching a Yash Chopra film and here too he keeps the promise as you cannot even move to take a glass of water. The music is exemplary with songs maintaining the smile and the delight to watch the movie wide enough. While this is one of the trademark Yash Chopra movie, the characters make sure that the legacy of Yash Chopra films is maintained.
