Veer-Zaara.
Finally, the wait is over. Yash Chopra, the maestro of romance, returns with his cross border romance flick.
Saw a late afternoon show of the much awaited movie. It's not entirely inedible. You got to watch it like any other Yash Chopra film – with your eyes and heart wide open. Like any other Yash Chopra film, it has oodles of open-air romance, sensual chemistry between the lovers and teary-eyed emotionality.
It has multiple cameras zooming in and out of mustard and sunflower fields, gushing waterfalls, snow-clad mountains and untimely rains, it has its hero and heroine running towards each other from opposite directions to give that one passionate embrace.
Preity does a good job at playing a Yash Chopra heroine: She looks dreamy and plays the character of Zaara with grace and restraint. While Rani Mukherjee walks away with the best lines and a performance full of grit. The songs are completely blended into the movie, the songs are pure poetry and the lyrics magnificent.
So what if Veer-Zaara is not really a legendary, memorable blah blah, saga of love and blah blah. So what if it is not even among Yash Chopra's best works. It is poised to make big bucks at the box office and may even pick an award or two next year. So if you are a fan of the Chopra factory of filmmaking and looking for plenty of eye-candy, Veer-Zaara promises to make your Diwali a happy one.

Hey Babe,
ReplyDeleteDiwali is the festival of lights and is celebrated with great enthusiasm by all Indians all over the world. The uniqueness of this festival is its harmony of five varied philosophies, with each day to a special thought or ideal.
It is the one Hindu festival that unites the whole of India. It is traditionally known as the "festival of lights", for the common practice is to light small oil lamps (called diyas) and place them around the home,on the walls built around the home and also on the roof tops. The celebration of the festival is customarily accompanied by the exchange of sweets and the explosion of fireworks. Diwali(Deepavali) is an occasion for cheerfulness and togetherness.
Wish you all a happy diwali once again.
~Deepa.
