Having said that, it just doesn't matter here. It is far from being flawless and has its share of loopholes where script is concerned. Veer-Zaara, though a completely entertaining epic romance, is not the greatest film you'll see and it often goes over-the-top in its emotions. She is natural and impressive and leaves the film as a winner. Rani Mukhejee makes a great impact with her relatively minor but pivotal role of the tenacious, level-headed Saammiya. Zinta is beautiful and compelling as the intelligent and headstrong Zaara, and looks great in traditional outfits. Khan is the main soul of the film and he is believable in everything his character goes through. They resuscitate their characters with restraint and dignity and have a credible chemistry despite not having much physical interaction.
Shahrukh Khan and Preity Zinta are great choices for the film. The movie soundtrack is perhaps the most beautiful soundtrack in recent years, and the fact that it was actually composed many years ago contributes to the epic mood of the film. The love story is portrayed grandiosely, with larger-than-life orchestral music of heavy violins and piano. There are many surprising and touching moments in the film. The film also addresses women's empowerment through Rani Mukherjee's role of a Pakistani lawyer who tries to overcome society. The film does look a bit dated, but then it does not have a defined period of historical time, which makes it an all-time saga. It flows very well through the stunning views of Indian and Pakistani fields and groves, and colourfully shows the bright sides of each country. That's what really makes sense in this film. It is a cross-border love story between an Indian and a Pakistani, yet their nationality is not what prevents them from being together. Although the love story itself, the separation and everything else is very typical, Chopra creates an entirely different film in the way it portrays the respect the lovers have for each other, the honour they pay to parents and elders, and their genuine willingness to sacrifice themselves for each other. Yash Chopra artistically combines realism with greatly unrestrained emotion and some overdone sentimentality. It is a visually stunning and emotionally touching picture about star-crossed lovers who meet once and are tied forever. Yash Chopra's Veer-Zaara is a film about humanity, devotion, sacrifice, and the power of love. We're sorry but jw-app doesn't work properly without JavaScript enabled.
