JAB TAK HAI JAAN (2012) and its inspirations.

Dear Amit Vig,
As per your comment It seems that as many readers you also just checked the RATINGS below the whole review and then made a decision.

Because the RATING of the movie is just 2 and the extra one is just only for Anushka who actually saves the film clearly.i.e. 2+1=3

Plus if you have had the comeplete review then I have clearly stated that the film is largely uninteresting and below expectations in few parahs, which are again quoted here to clear my point.
...............................................

"But being his die-hard fans since the 70s, I honestly felt quite confused and sad during the first half of JTHJ, since it turned out to be largely uninteresting, repetitive and too long unlike all those Yash Chopra films, still fresh in our minds. The first 30 minutes of the film are just ok and then it starts walking on an all ‘seen before’ road................"
...............................................

"In short, though both Shahrukh & Katrina have performed well but JTHJ can easily be rated as a weak film till its intermission wherein you can the sense the presence of the good old Yash Chopra only in parts and his strong touch of emotional entertainment remains largely missing."
...............................................

"Yet the film gets rescued only & only by Anushka Sharma alone and the whole team of JTHJ should be actually thankful to her. If truth be told then had she not performed this well, the swan song of Yash Chopra would have gone into the dark clouds of rejection in the first few days itself since it lacks many of those elements associated with the big name clearly."
..............................................

"Therefore if you are eager to see something exceptional from the maestro in his last film, then its going to be disappointment more or less, as JTHJ just remains only a good one time watch and that’s it.
..............................................

Still the same cannot be said about its screenplay which does have many flaws and dull moments (in the first half) which could have been avoided to reach a smaller duration (as currently it’s a 3 hours long film).
.............................................

Summing up, with all due respect JAB TAK HAI JAAN is the maestro YASH CHOPRA’s swan song as decided by the destiny…..! But its definitely not amongst his best works if you are well aware of the body of work presented before us in the past decades. 
............................................

So after reading all the above lines written in the review itself, you should have easily guessed what the films actually was and why it was given the RATING of just 2 + 1 for only Anushka alone.

I hope I was able to explain myself and the review too.

Cheers!
HIS BLESSINGS

Hi Raj,
You are probably right as I roughly remember watching FAASLE.
But the point seems valid as at that time Yash Chopra was going through a bad phase of flops including VIJAY which also had traces of TRISHUL in it.
Cheers!

Dear Amit,
Please dont think that way as we are here to discuss movies in the most honest and impartial ways.
So all views are welcome and now after my explanation about JTHJ I am glad you got the point right.
Cheers!
