Veer Zaara by Yash Chopra

Category: Hindi

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Melodrama to the hilt.

Veer loves Zaara, he can't have her. 22 years later he gets it all fixed and he's with her.

3 hours to tell a simple story (literally). Well actually to be fair it could have been longer and more painful, the first half is really hard, root canal is probably nicer.

SRK is at his finest, making people sob their guts out, there's also Raani Mukherjee whos ok as the lawyer and Priety Zinta as the old Zaara and young.

There's also Manoj Bajpai, Amitabh Bachan and a bunch of others thrown in for good measure, cinematically this achieves nothing, really stop making such pre-historic movies by directors who should just be rolling over. Similarly don't let 90 year olds sing when they should also be rolling over (hi Lata Mangeshkar)

But, if you like sappy films - yeah watch this and cry your guts out. Damn emo.

Recommendation level: 1/5 - Yeah.

  1. Oh God! You survived? The only ones I knew who made it were people who love (and I mean LOVE) SRK and Yash Raj crap. Congrats.

  3. who is insulting? It's just a known fact that she has a horrible voice now. She had a wonderful voice before I was even born but this doesn't make it legit to sing songs and destroy my ear drums now.
