Jab Tak Hai Jaan (Blu-Ray)



Didn't really deliver.
I love SRK and generally speaking love Yash Chopra's romantic comedies. This one just didn't quite deliver which saddened me really because I really wanted to love it. First off, I had trouble believing anyone of any faith was that superstitious that they would let some "deal" made with god keep them from someone they loved so deeply. That's a small god that can be bargained with so easily, makes you wonder why anyone would serve such a god. So that's my first gripe. Second, I just never connected with Katrina Kaif. She's pretty enough but her character, or maybe her acting, was flat and left me disbelieving this "amazing" connection that sent a man off to try and die to prove her and her "god" wrong.

Meera is a woman who is refined and has a lot of self-control and makes baragins with God in order to get what she wants, along with this she also has walls built around her (why?... you'll have to watch). We only see these walls come down and the true Meera emerge when she is with Samar. But she has made a promise to God to marry the man her father wants her too, and when an accident happens to Samar, she believes it is her fault for going against her promise to God. Therefore, she promises that if he lives she will never meet him again. Samar lives and she tells...
