AishFan Review of Jab Tak Hai Jaan

Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012)

To its credit, a well-made movie, but difficult to relate to

[5/10 · 18 November 2012]

I was slightly disappointed with this film, but I wouldn't write it off completely. Cinematography and music are excellent. Katrina is fabulous. Performances are good. The main weakness of the film is the story. The fault lies not in that it is told poorly or that it is devoid of any intelligence. It just is kind of old-fashioned, and I found it difficult to relate to. Chopra did make a good attempt of trying to address this point with Anushka's character, but she still seemed more of a stereotype of Gen Y rather than a sincere incorporation of its viewpoint. Thank goodness, the climax is well-done and refreshing.
