Review of Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012) by Familiar S — 16 Jan 2013

I wonder why Yash Chopra decided to end his directorial career with this one. As if a decade old rejected project was being given a chance back with modifications to suit the time-lapse. There's nothing new or interesting so far as the storyline (love-life of a daredevil/death-defying army officer) is concerned.

For the visual effects, it's fine, but that's all there's to it. The performances were okay, though. It'd have been better had he let Veer Zara (which again told the story of two separated lovers with a third actress playing a role in uniting them) be the last one.

While Veer-Zara was no less conventional, at least it didn't come off as a hasty project. To each, their own. Check it out for yourself; you might savor it more than any of his other works. (To say the least, rest assured, the movie-viewing experience is far better & endurable than reading this amateur comment.

) As a tribute to late Yash Chopra, THE ace (dominating!!) film-maker, I'm assigning this flick 1/5.
