Jab tak hain jaan...Jab tak hain jaan.....Jab tak hain jaan


The legendary Yash chopra's swansong JAB TAK HAIN JAAN is a visual feast and poetry in motion backed by credible performances from the lead protagonists.While the fact remains that Shahrukh Khan is the best Bollywood actor of our generation,The credit to extract such a subtle & mature performance from him (akin to Swades & Chak de) must go to the creative genius Yash chopra.

The film lingers just like the memory of a good meal.Every Frame showcases the passion and Dedication  of a film maker who has directed this film from his heart. Yash chopra is among the last of his kind whose understanding of the complexieties and nuances of human relationships has no parallel.London didn't look so good before and The visuals of Pahalgam ,Leh and Ladakh had me feeling nostalgic.I started yearning to get back to Kashmir again.The movie is a tad longer(3hrs) than most multiplex movies  we are used to these days, but if one is a hopeless romantic like i am, he/she wouldn't mind sitting for 3 more hours!!..The ability to show love and relationships in their purest form without making it look outlandish is the greatest craft which this master technician has honed from the days he directed Lamhe & chandni. Bollywood has truly lost a legendary film maker.Love stories will never be the same again in Bollywood, they wont be half as honest or endearing.....His death brings an end to an era of Romance!....a great loss to die-hard romantics like me.....R.I.P yash chopra, as the    end credits and rare footage indicate, u will live on forever!.

Ps: A word of appreciation for Katrina Kaif !.....she was a revelation in the movie.She finally comes of age and sheds the wooden face and the Barbie hangover.Well done katrina good job.
