فير-زارا

Okay i don't believe this movie to be as amazing as everyone says it to be.. first of all the story is soo cheesy and there are probably hundreds of movies out there more deserving....swades for example....thought the music was good it only got so much recognition because its creater is no longer alive.... Shahrukhs acting was so so not amazing....he should not have gotten awards for this...but rather Swades... i think most people liked this movie cause they are pathetic when matters come to romance... i mean how idiotic is it to have a god damn song inbetween of a court sequence....I'm happy dat chopra guys not taking anymore awards....

The movie suffers from the same fate as movies like Hum Saath Saath Hain. Directors seem to think that if something works, more of it will work even better! This movie is a saturation point of Yash Chopra's clichés and Shah Rukh Khan's emotional lover role. The negatives: Movie seems to be made from bits and pieces of other Yash Chopra movies, esp. DDLJ (note falling in love while traveling, girl hallucinating about the boy after reaching home, boy showing up in her town, winning over mother, strict father who is soft at heart). Shah Rukh probably goes through these roles like a zombie now- he's done so many! If you want to even more of what you've seen him do over and over and over and over, this is the movie for you. Rani Mukherjee is neither powerful nor convincing in her role of a lawyer and has trouble voicing chaste Urdu. Preity Zinta looks lovely, and acts fairly well but nothing special. Lata Mangeshkar is ruining a legacy by continuing to sing in a tired and at times, off-chord and off-tune voice. Kiron Kher is getting typecast. Shah Rukh was typecast years back and seems to be doing just fine in terms of success. The Punjabi flavor, songs, clothing, dialogues are like every other movie from this production house. SRK and Preity's make up as older people is pathetic. The maker seems to think the world of it, though. He shows it off with special effects again and again. Shah Rukh seems to equate old with paralytic and insane and performs as such. One wonders if there were ever any problems between the two countries, esp. the way all the characters seem to weave in and out of India and Pakistan with no apparent restrictions. Visas, permissions and the like are not issues to be bothered with when making an oozing-with-emotion movie. The positives: **spoiler** Amitabh Bachchan's cameo is like a whiff of fresh air. The movie starts to bore you until he really gives it a boost of energy. He gives a much needed boost to an otherwise slow first half. Divya Dutta's performance as the Khan household's maid is commendable and lovable. The soundtrack by the late Madan Mohan, composed many years ago, is fantastic, even though the songs come too often and Lata's voice puts a spanner in the works. If you've watched other Yash Chopra or Karan Johar (or anyone of that breed) movies and haven't been satisfied with the melodrama and want more of it, watch Veer Zaara. Otherwise, it is avoidable fare.

its awful i cant believe that one of the greatest nonsenses in the world can be a blockbuster and the favorite movie of millions of people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a movie which has no story,again shahrukh khan has been appeared on the screen with nothing new the same as usual he is trying to make you cry by start scrambling his head for thousands of times,i think this is to much,pretty zinta spouse to act the character of a Pakistani girl i didn't know that there is enough facilities in Pakistan for the Pakistani girls to do so many plastic surgeries on their face and also there are enough make up facilities??!! and also i didn't know that an Indian can cross the March's between both countries,go to Pakistan and start dancing and singing may be Pakistani soldier's were sleeping!!!!!!!!!

I'm disappointed with Veer Zaara. Shah Rukh continues to be unrelentingly embarrassing-hamming for all he is worth, and Preity Zinta looks old and haggard. *SPOILERS* The story is a mishmash of all the "hit" trademarks of a Yash Chopra film - the intro of the leading lady in white chiffon, her rain dance about her dreams, Shah Rukh winning the mom over; with all the stock characters: ancient grandma, strong mum n dad et al thrown in. The screenplay is implausible, hasty and the love story just doesn't build up to the grand saga it is supposed to be. The movie insults intelligence of the viewer, so cheesy in places - the court scene where everyone claps when shah rukh finished talking! Groan! On a positive note, the soundtrack is nice and Rani Mukherjee is good.
