As a director, he has that ability to present his storyline in the most innocent, simplistic, convincing way.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan works primarily because Yash Chopra manages to make you believe in his vision. And if it doesn't at the interval, then do walk out because you'd certainly not enjoy the second half or the climax. This is another crucial point which determines whether Jab Tak Hai Jaan will work or not for you. It will all come down to how you warm up to Meera's character, and agree or disagree with her ideologies. Jab Tak Hai Jaan's twist will meet with a mixed reaction - you'll either approve of it or think it's highly stupid.

If I were to compare, I'd say that Veer Zaara's story had more ''meat'' - and the reason was more compelling and made a bigger impact there. Why are they not together? Will they end up together? It worked for me in Veer Zaara. The framework is similar to Yash Chopra's Veer Zaara - start from present, flashback, 2 lovers, separation for a long time. The premise of Jab Tak Hai Jaan is simple - almost too common. Otherwise, you're in for the best romantic saga of 2012, where true love is beyond anything, where love defies everything. If you snap out or zone out of that phase, then you probably won't enjoy JTHJ. You see the world from his perspective, and accept anything (whether good or bad) with the most idiotic smile on your face. And from that moment, you're transported to his magical world to witness his take on love. The film starts off with Yash Chopra's portrait and his own special Jab Tak Hai Jaan poem. This is not a story of courage, not a story of miracles, it is just a simple story of love.

His wait is finally over, his time has come, his time to love. As we speak right now Samar is diffusing his 108th bomb, his last one, It's his last not because he is suddenly scared of dying, It's his last because now it is his time to live now. Love that breaks you but still keeps you together, love that creates distances still brings you closer, love that is true and forever and i have learnt that if you have the power to love like that, then God makes sure that your love finds it's way, all that you have to do is just hang in there and wait, wait for your time.

I got into this story thinking that this would be my big ticket to Discovery Channel, I am going to discover a story of courage, bravery, danger, miracles but i ended up discovering love. A undying love that a man had for a woman, an unflinching love that a woman had for a man and an unending faith that God had in their love. Akira Rai: Samar Anand has diffused 107th bombs without a scratch on his body and right now as we speak he is diffusing his 108th bomb.
