Ok, i accept it Mr. Yash Chopra was a great film-maker who made films like Deewar, Silsila, Chandni etc etc. He was the one who gave two big names to bollywood-Amitabh Bacchan & Shahrukh Khan. I am not against his style of film-making (although i am not much into romcom stuffs also!!!), but his last venture as a director will always haunt me "Jab Tak Hai Jaan".
Well the movie Revolves around three characters, bomb defusals, accidents & the associated memory losses. The movie starts with the flashback when one young fellow (mind it he is 28 at that time) Mr. Samar Anand (our not so old SRK!!!) is on a cleaning spree of snow removal from the streets of London, Suddenly gets a glimpse of a curvaceous Katrina Kaif (Sorry i was too much in sleep, so couldn't remember character's name in movie) who is Caucasian by birth & is a billionaire's daughter who is a god fearing lady who wants to sacrifice this thing or that thing if God fulfill her dreams!!! .
Our Mr. Samar is a very talented guy who impress every second girl in the town with his talents.He can be a waiter, He can also be a guitarist & a cook also ( May be because the poor guy is living in London & has to pay his bills in Pounds!!!) He impresses the girl by giving her lectures on smoking while she is getting engaged, becomes her teacher when she wants to recite a poem in Punjabi for her Indian Dad (how melodramatic & well cultured girl, I don't know where have these kinda girls gone!!!! Perhaps Mars is the answer). Slowly & slowly the girly realizes she is in love with the waiter cum guitarist cum future bomb diffusal squad leader & kisses him (Lucky SRK!!!, His balls must be dancing) & tells him about her feelings. (WOW, How Romantic!!!) & the boy undergoes a shock phenomena for few days (Mind it, any kiss from Kat can have that kind of effect on you) & ends up having a accident when is crossing the road at a mere speed of 20KMPH.
Poor Katy baby, ends being a crybaby victim prays to god to save the life of her uncle age boyfriend & decides not to meet the old man (All young girls leave, old guys once they lose their charm!!!). Our hero the sad old guy takes a pledge in front of God not to meet the pretty Katy & decides to kill himself by imposing a rule on himself"to diffuse the bombs without wearing the safety suites".
Enter scene two-The movie takes U-turn and gets to 10 years in future where our beloved Samar joins the Army at age of 30s (He must have bribed the SSB!!!) & is posted directly as a Major at Leh-Ladhak, where he is busy diffusing 108 bombs in a span of 10 years (precisely almost he is diffusing one bomb every month, with this rate he can make India a terror free nation!!!). At Leh he meets another wannabe 21 year old Anushka Sharma (Bloody paedo guy!!!) journalist cum documentary movie maker cum national sports champion ( which sports she was playing, nobody knows!!!) who goes for swimming in holy lake of Pangong Tso, all out of the blue. This chick falls in love with our Devdas & makes a documentary on him which was to be screened at London & calls Samar to London where another road accident takes place & takes Samar 10 years back where he is still in love with Katy baby.
To bring back the memory of our Major, people start doing all sorta melodramas (except a rod was missing to bring back the memory of this guy!!!) & finally they succeed in doing so, but its too late for the major to accept the Katy Baby for what she has done to him all these 10 years.
If you want to get some good sleep & are frustrated with your boss/wife at office/home, then probably this is the kind of movie you are looking for. It has got a weak story which is good enough to make you sleep, has a real bad musical despite having the trio of Gulzar, Rahman & Chopra.
Over & all i personally didn't liked the movie despite it doing businesses of more than 100 crores. I want my 200 Rupees Back.
