Jab Tak Hai Jaan (English: As Long as I Live, literally
"as long, or as far, as there is life") is a 2012 Indian romantic
drama film directed by Yash Chopra and written and produced by Aditya Chopra
under their production banner, Yash Raj Films. It features Shah Rukh Khan,
Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma in lead roles. The movie is the first
collaboration between Khan and Kaif, and the second between Khan and Sharma
(they previously featured in the 2008 film Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi). Yash Chopra
returned to directing eight years after Veer-Zaara. This was to be his final film
before his death in October 2012, at age 80.The background score and soundtrack
was composed by A.R. Rahman, with lyrics from Gulzar.
Set in London, England, Jab Tak Hai Jaan tells the story of
Akira Rai (Sharma), an ambitious, hardworking intern at the Discovery Channel.
Akira finds the diary of Samar Anand (Khan), a bomb-disposal expert. The diary
recounts Samar's time as a struggling immigrant to London, and later details
his whirlwind romance with Meera Thapar (Kaif). The film was released during the
six-day Diwali weekend beginning on 13 November 2012. The movie received
positive-to-mixed reviews from critics in India and positive reviews overseas.
It opened well at the box office, and Box Office India declared the film a
"hit" in India and a "blockbuster" overseas. Jab Tak Hai
Jaan emerged as the third-highest-grossing Bollywood film overseas at that
time, after 3 Idiots and My Name Is Khan (2010).
The film was praised for its direction, cinematography and
the chemistry between its lead actors. Khan and Sharma were lauded for their
performances, though the movie's predictable plot drew criticism. At the end of
its theatrical run Jab Tak Hai Jaan received a number of awards, including four
Filmfare Awards, which included trophies for Best Supporting Actress (Sharma)
and Best Lyrics for Gulzar.
The film starts with Samar Anand (Shahrukh Khan), a major in
the Indian Army, defuses a bomb in Ladakh without fear or regard for his
safety. Akira Rai (Anushka Sharma), a Discovery Channel filmmaker, dives into a
river in Ladakh on a dare and soon regrets it after learning she has plunged
into freezing water. Samar, who happens to be by the shore, rescues her. Samar
gives her his jacket and leaves without retrieving it. Later, Akira finds his
diary in the jacket pocket and begins reading.
