Veer-Zaara Review

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.
