grows with separation, deepens with sacrifice.
A love that is an inspiration... and will remain a legend
forever.
Review
------
Veer Zaara a beautiful romance across borders. Veer-Zaara is
similar to most other Hindi movies but it is not at the same
time. How is it different? For starters, it handles the Indo-Pak
relationship very differently from the post-Gadar era. It carries
the story sensitively and graciously.
The directors wanted to please both Indians and Pakistanis. And
they did. This movie was released around the time of the festival
of Diwali and Ramadan Eid, and crowds went in large numbers to
see this movie. I saw people enjoying at ease the romance, the
melodrama, the emotions, the sentimental scenes and the beautiful
backgrounds and getting in to the soul of the movie. The other
thing that strikes about this movie is, that this may be among
few new Hindi movies, which do not depend on titillations or skin
to sell. It is clean entertainment suitable for the whole family
to watch together. Veer Zaara -a beautiful movie with heart and
soul. A love, which lasts the test of time. And worth the three
and half hours of our lives too! --platform47.com

About the Director
------------------
Yash Raj Chopra (born 27 September 1932) is an Indian filmmaker,
screenwriter, and the most successful producer of Bollywood to
date in India. Yash and his wife, Pamela, have two sons: Aditya
Chopra and Uday Chopra. Aditya is a film director and manages
most of Yash Raj Production House. Uday is an actor who received
his first break in Aditya's "Mohabbatein".
The founder of the biggest production and distribution house of
Bollywood, Yash Raj Films, Yash initially worked as an assistant
to I. S. Johar, and then for his director-producer brother, B.R.
Chopra. Baldev Raj gave him his first directorial rtunity in
"Dhool Ka Phool" in 1959 which became an instant hit and even
today remains popular. Encouraged by this success, the Chopra
brothers made a few more movies together, the most notable being
"Waqt" (1965), India's first multi-starrer; and "Ittefaq" (1969),
a thriller. Yash Raj Films was launched with "Daag: A Poem of
Love" in 1973, a successful melodrama about a polygamous man. In
1995, Chopra turned to production and Aditya Chopra made his
directorial debut with "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge", which had
the longest-running initial release in cinema history. In 2004,
he made a grand comeback with Veer-Zaara, a touching cross-border
love story, which he said would be his last directorial effort.
Waqt, Deewar, Kabhi Kabhie, Lamhe, Darr, Dil To Pagal Hai, and
Veer-Zaara are some of the highly successful movies which Yash
Chopra made. Labeled the eternal romantic and with one of the
best musical senses in the business, Yash Chopra is arguably
India's most successful director of romantic films.
