Movie Reviews of Veer-Zaara

Movie Review: Veer-Zaara
Summary: 4 Stars

After first seeing the last half this on SBS (Australian Govt. Funded TV) late one evening I was amazed at how fun The Bollywood Genre was.

Looked the film up on the Web and found out that it was one of the most successful Bollywood films ever.

The story in itself lends itself to fall into the "Chick Flick" category. A story of forbidden love, and the sacrifices people are willing to make...

Brilliantly put together film, by far my favorite scene is the Festival of Lodi, brilliant dance, costumes and song... you just can't help but smile and enjoy it!

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)

Movie Review: Pretty cheesy and way too much over acting
Summary: 2 Stars

I think it has become a tradition of Shahrukh Khan to over act and made movies extremely cheesy. It's almost like you're watching a bad soap opera sometimes. He's a funny guy, but he's terrible at drama. And 90% of this movie is just plain drama. The whole India-Pakistan theme is good since it fosters some kind of understanding between the two groups, but otherwise the movie was not very good.

Better to watch the Discovery channel than waste a night watching this! Seriously!
