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.
