Movie Reviews of Veer-Zaara
Movie Review: Worth Watching
Summary: 3 Stars
The film was billed as a "love legend" and it certainly does have grand, epic sweep. But the story moves at a snail's pace, and the very long, dull musical numbers weigh it down even more. However, the premise alone is compelling enough--a forbidden, cross-border affair between an Indian boy and a Pakistani girl. Actress Rani Mukerji plays Saamiya, a human-rights lawyer in Pakistan who's working to free an Indian who's been wrongfully imprisoned there for 22 years. The story of this brave military pilot, whose spirit has been shattered behind bars, is told in flashback. Zaara (played by Preity Zinta) travels from her home in Lahore to India to scatter the ashes of her beloved nanny, who came to Pakistan during Partition. Veer (Shahrukh Khan) rescues Zaara from a bus accident and invites her to his family home in a Punjabi village. She promptly falls in love with his warm family, their quaint community--and Veer. But she's engaged, so she returns home, and Veer follows her there for a showdown over her hand, which leads to his imprisonment. The way it all shakes out is wonderfully ironic, but it doesn't entirely make up for the overwrought climax. - The Bollywood Ticket: The American guide to Indian movies (Subscribe: The Bollywood Ticket)
