‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’, an epic of eternal ultra-romance

When Romance King Shah Rukh Khan, legendry filmmaker Yash Chopra and superhot Katrina come together in one platform, what can one expect than an epic love story! Yes, ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’ is an eternal romance epic served in a love platter for all those romantic lot and fans of the above combination. In the age of Rom-Com or Romedies, ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’ is an unadulterated, 100% pure romantic movie which people have yearned for years. It touches one’s emotion!
The perfect line-up of a romantic movie apart, Aditya Chopra’s story and dialogue are depiction of eternal love story which happens only once a lifetime but with contemporary touch. The Oscar-winner AR Rahman’s music and background score kept the tempo high throughout the film. The music isn’t AR Rahman’s typical one, but one can see a different Rahman as he successfully gave a touch of the trademark music of all the Yash Chopra’s romantic flicks.
Penned by evergreen lyricist Gulzar, the lyrics of all songs of ‘Jab tak Hai Jaan’ are sure to give you some goose bumps moments. The lines seamlessly merged with the love story of the lead pair.
Talking about the performance, one needs no reason why Shah Rukh Khan is christened as the King of Bollywood. His charismatic persona requires no effort to portray the character of Samar Anand. His wit, charm, dimpled-smile, humour, dancing skills in the first half and his rough and tough look, dialogue delivery style in the second half can’t be beaten by any of his counterparts in the industry. He is unbeatable at what he does the best- Romance.  He effortlessly romances with the actress half his age. For sure, filmmakers will have hard time to find his replacement in the genre in years to come. Also, it’s a paradigm shift as Baadshah kisses his lead actress on-screen for the first time.
Be it acting, dancing, her accent, Katrina Kaif is improving with each film and ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’ has put a feather on her cap as timeless sensual Yash Chopra heroine. Her character Meera is just like her as she is elegant, sophisticated, hard working (she learnt Punjabi song as a birthday surprise for her father in the movie just like she learnt Hindi in real). Also, one can see a glimpse of her acclaimed childlike, free and frank nature in her earlier movies like ‘Meri Brother Ki Dulhan’  in the movie. For all the die-hard fans of Katrina, she is a delight, an eye-candy, sexy and beautiful lady in the flick. To add more, her moves in a salsa sequence with Shah Rukh Khan will definitely make her fans carzy even more making their hearts throb harder.
