Veer Zaara - A love legend

"Mohabbat mauka dekhke nahin hota", for me this sums up Veer Zaara, the Chopra's take on recreatng an eternal love story, VZ is he story of Veer Pratap Singh, an Indian Air Wing commander( played by Shahrukh Khan ) and Zaara Hayat Khan, a rich pakistani heer ( played by Priety Zinta ), their love & sacrifice, and a debutant attorney Samiya's ( played by Rani Mukherjee ) fight to give back Veer's his name/honor and his country along with his lost love.

Romance & Love are Chopra's forte and they rule this domain,Yash and Aditya chopra are a lethal combination and Veer Zaara shows that loud and clear. Beautiful dialogues, restrained performances,excellent work by Divya Dutta, Kiron Kher, AB and Hema Malini, slick graphics, pleasant cinematography, well written characters, strong script,Madan Mohan's classic tunes and superb direction, Veer Zaara is a 3 hour of pleasant cinema.

One Observation,Shahrukh and Priety were made to look at their 70's after 22 years of separation, and somehow you wonder what their age was when it all started.
All in all, Veer Zaara is another great love product from the romantic Yashraj banner and definitely worth a watch.
