First off let me wish you all a very HAPPY DIWALI hope you all had a great one.
Now lets discuss JAB TAK HAI JAAN.
So I saw the film on the first day it released and this is what I have to say about the film.
STORY: I was expecting a better story, a more realistic story of love. The story that was told in the film was not very realistic and 99% this type of love stories do not occur in real life. The film should have had a better story line, a better plot so that it would be convincing. If they really wanted to go by this story then they should have changed it a bit to make it more convincing and realistic. But the story was unchanged so it made it very unrealistic. However the reason I was stuck to my seat was because the ending was not predictable, you would not know if ShahRukh would end up with Katrina or will he end up with Anushka, or will he end up with anyone? this made the film interesting and exciting to watch till the end regardless the length of the film.
SHAH RUKH KHAN: This man can never fail to disappoint his fans and even those who are not a big fan of his. He played his role to perfection, especially during Ladakh sequence when he is in the Army. Off the London and Ladakh sequence, I enjoyed watching him more in Ladakh because his role character and acting stood out more. But nonetheless throughout the film he was never disappointing, his romance, comic, and serious role timing was perfect.
Katrina Kaif: As Meera she played her part just right, but until she was in the same frame with ShahRukh that is when things went downhill. I felt when Katrina was solo on screen she was great but once she was with ShahRukh she just did not match up to him and was not convincing as other leading ladies with ShahRukh in a Yash Chopra film. The problem was that there was no chemistry between the two, and on top of that ShahRukh looked older to her so that made it even worse. It was not him who needed to look young but it was Katrina who needed to be replaced by somebody else, and I think the two actresses that would have suited Katrina's role as Meera would have been Priyanka Chopra or Deepika Padukone. One of them would have been perfect.
Anushka Sharma: If she was not in the film, this movie would have been a huge disappointment, even ShahRukh's performance would have not saved the film. She was perfect as Akira, I was waiting for Anushka to come on screen, because her presence in the film made me want to see this film. Her role as Akira brought laughter, smile, and excitement into the film, she was far better off then Katrina. Also she looked better with ShahRukh, he did not look older then her, she did not look younger then him, they looked perfect together on screen. Anushka's career from this film will only go up as she was very convincing in her role as Akira from start to finish.
Overall: The movie was good, it could have been better in terms of the story line and some character swap, but due to ShahRukh and Anushka's performance and the sequence in Ladakh along with the fact that you would not be sure of the ending, the film is worth seeing. I rate this film 3.5/5
LET ME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS BELOW :)
