A sympathetic film from Yash Chopra

Late Yash Chopra called as King of Romance, promised that he would direct his last film. He gives us Jab tak hai jaan. A neat love story with good elements of surprise and a gripping screenplay. I would call it a feel good film. There is happiness, emotions and faith in God in this film’s plot. To surprise there are no bad guys in the film.
To be frank, deal is done with God.
A film that touches every sense, gives seriousness and remarkable life story of a bomb diffuser who does not wear his suit. Facing the challenge every time, he deals with God to keep him alive as long as possible. In a fight between life and death, his diary has all the past story of his young life. With all pain, he lives his life. Akira (Anushka Sharma) a super girl brave, finds Samar’s (Shahrukh Khan) diary and learns his past in London with his love Meera (Katrina Kaif). After a serious of incidents, Samar is forced to leave Meera. Back to present Akira shoots a documentary on Samar entitled A man who cannot die. She also tries to woo Samar and bring back happiness in his life. After changing him, she calls him London to help her get her job. Samar reaches London. But the deal with God is going to test him. Will Samar find his true love?

Yash Chopra’s direction is so pleasant. The locations are good. The acting is well done. Shahrukh Khan performs well as a hard working youth. He excels in army role. He becomes hard, stubborn, sheds tears and has that role imbibed in him. It is tailor made for him. Katrina Kaif has done well. Emotional scenes work really well. Her chemistry with Shahrukh Khan is feel good and looks natural. Anushka Sharma plays a sporty youth daring to take interview of Samar. Inspired by his attitude she becomes calm and well settled in scenes with Katrina Kaif. The climax is feel good. The best part of the film is the situation where deal with the God comes.

Yash Chopra deals with faith in God and battle between life and death. He gives us all a pleasant and soothing romantic film that has heart and charm. Jab tak hai Jaan is a well made film that sets standards in making romantic film. Calling himself King of Romance, here is the perfect gift.

Beautifully made, charming, effective and a sympathetic film. A tribute to Yash Chopra and tailor made film for King Khan.
