![]() ![]() ![]() Sadly, Bollywood still hasn’t stepped away from unrealistic narrative tools like Amnesia, car accidents and personal diaries that bring about the truth. How the love triangle eventually begins is for you to go and watch. A few scenes later, Akira pops up going through the officer’s diary (which was expected) to unveil his past love story with Meera who he met in London. Samar is a fearless soldier of the bomb disposal squad who never wears a protection kit because he likes to live on the edge. The editing and shooting of some sequences is so similar to Hurt Locker that you wonder whether YRF took permission from the film’s producers to replicate their film scenes. ![]() The choreography stands out and watching Akira move through the serene valley of Jammu Kashmir is believable because of the natural and free-flowing dance moves she performs. She is on a project assisting the crew of the Discovery Channel when she meets Samar at an army camp. Since everything is possible in a Yash Raj production, the spoiled, chauffeur-driven Meera falls in love with Samar, the waiter.Īnushka Sharma never fails to impress and her natural spontaneity and bubbly attitude is perfect for a role of documentary film-maker Akira Rai. She is the typical Barbie doll - slender and sexy, but shockingly not as wooden as she usually seems. Katrina Kaif plays the role of Meera - a filthy rich British girl of Indian origin. After watching JTHJ, it also becomes clear that certain one-liners only seem plausible when coming from the King Khan himself. Looking surprisingly young, SRK delivers his best performance since Chak De India and Swades with his everlasting romantic charm. ![]() The only difference is that Samar arrives to the bomb site on a Royal Enfield. The bomb-defusing sequences in Hurt Locker and JTHJ are practically the same. May I say Hurt Locker? Shahrukh Khan (SRK) plays a role of an Indian army soldier, not to mention he is also a singer and a waiter, from the bomb disposal squad named Samar Anand. Outstanding performances by the lead cast and captivating melodies by AR Rahman - with unconventional music and Gulzar’s addictive lyrics - actually save JTHJ from being a total failure. The story is full of romance, fury and flimsy twists, yet still manages to grip the audience - but then again, aren’t all Yash Chopra’s films similar? Without much difference from his previous productions, JTHJ is also based on the escapist formula of the typical Yash Chopra films, with an overwritten screenplay and stone-age expository techniques. In the process of realising who she actually is, they both fall in love - that’s the primary plot of Jab Tak Hai Jaan ( JTHJ). A poor Indian boy meets a rich British-Indian girl in London and takes her on a reality-check trip. ![]()
