Veer-Zaara – Movie Review (2004)

A romantic Hindi film directed by Yash Chopra. This film marks the return of Yah Chopra as a director after Dil To Pagal Hai.The film is set against the backdrop of conflict between Pakistan and India. It follows the story of an Indian Air force Pilot Veer Pratap Singh and a Pakistan woman from a rich family, Zaara Khan who are separated for 22 years.

After a 7 year break from films Mr. Chopra proves that he is still the king of Romantic Drama`s.

The music and songs of this film are rich in compositions and pleasant to hear on screen. The music is based on old and untouched songs by the late Madan Mohan. Cinematography is excellent by Anil Mehta. The film`s Running time is long but one is captivated by the story that it is not a concern.

 Shahrukh khan plays his part with full conviction and he is lovable. Pretty Zinta is adorable as a Pakistani rich but sensible woman. Rani Mukerji is brilliant and her court case scenes are first rate. Amitabh bachan and Hema Malini are terrific in their small parts. Overall, this is one of the finest romantic movies made.
