Jab Tak Hai Jaan, the last movie by the great legend Yash Chopra is an outstanding movie. It can be considered as one of the best ever.

I really loved watching it.

".

For the performances Shah Rukh Khan is absolutely superb as Samar Anand.This is one of his career's most challenging roles which he does so perfectly.He does full justice to his role.He shows a wide versatile performance as his role as Major Samar Anand contrasts from his early life in London.He looks great with Katrina Kaif who also does her role extremely well.She gives a heart touching performance as Meera.As always she is able to charm the audience and she gives a great performance, looking wonderful throughout the movie.She looks sweet as the young Meera.The chemistry she shares with Shah Rukh is great to watch.The jodi looks fantastic in all the songs specially the heart touching Heer,Sensual Saans and ofcourse Ishq Shava is totally stunning.Anushka Sharma is bubbly,cool,gorgeous and she is simply wow.As innocent Akira she gives her best performance in her career till date.She looks great in Jiya Re. Mr.Yash Chopra have given us a wonderful movie,his final salute to us.The great legendary filmmaker who gave so many lovely movies, the king of romance will be forever remembered.Bollywood fans around the world will always remember you, Jab Tak Hai Jaan...
