Jab Tak Hai Jaan (English: As Long as have I have life, literally "as long, or as far, as there is life") is a 2012 Indian romantic drama film directed by Yash Chopra; written and produced by Aditya Chopra under their production banner, Yash Raj Films. It stars Shah Rukh Khan as Samar Anand, a bomb disposal expert whose diary falls into the hands of an intern played by Anushka Sharma. The diary recounts his time as a struggling immigrant in London, and later details his whirlwind romance with Meera Thapar, played by Katrina Kaif.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan marked the second collaboration between Khan and Sharma, as they previously featured in the film Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008) and the first between Khan and Kaif. Yash Chopra returned to direction eight years after Veer-Zaara. This is his final film before his death in October 2012. The background score and soundtrack were composed by A. R. Rahman, with lyrics from Gulzar. The film was released during the six-day Diwali weekend beginning on 13 November 2012. Jab Tak Hai Jaan emerged as the third-highest-grossing Bollywood film overseas at that time, after 3 Idiots (2009) 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 awards for Best Supporting Actress (Anushka Sharma) and Best Lyrics for Gulzar.

Plot

This section may require copy editing. (March 2018) (Learn how and when to remove this message)

Samar Anand (Shahrukh Khan) is a friendly, passionate and amiable person who is a reputed Major in the Indian Army, whose main job is to defuse bombs - a career he loves immensely.

In one mission, he saves a young teenage girl called Akira Rai (Anushka Sharma), who was almost drowning in the freezing cold river waters of Ladakh vicinity /village in India. Major Samar offers her his warm jacket after he saves her and later she introduces herself to him as an aspiring journalist for Discovery Channel. After they part ways, Akira finds Samar's diary inside the jacket and starts reading it carefully

The diary recounts Samar's earlier years as a struggling immigrant in London, who performs odd jobs such as plumber, waiter, garbage man, taxi driver etc. to support himself.

One day, he sees a beautiful girl, Ms. Meera Thapar (Katrina Kaif), while shovelling snow and follows her to a church where she prays (or more accurately, bargains) that God should stop her date from liking her so they don't get married. She gives up something in return; wearing fur coats. Samar is intrigued by her and later tries to befriend her and learns that she was born and raised in an affluent family. However, Meera is an abandoned child. Her mother (Neetu Singh) abandoned her when she was only 12 years old, and left her with her father (Anupam Kher)in order to be with another man (Rishi Kapoor). Even more disheartening was the fact that Meera was now engaged to some guy called as Mr. Rogers in the neighborhood.

A few months later, Meera approaches Samar to teach her a Punjabi song for her father's 50th birthday and in return, Samar asks Meera to give him language lessons to improve his English for one month after which they become fast-friends and bond. Samar helps Meera face her troubled past, accompanying her visit her estranged mother and foster a reconciliation.

Later on, Meera decides to tell her father about her bonding and relationship with Samar and break her engagement to Mr. Rogers. Samar accompanies her and not long after they part, he has an accident. When it looks like he is about to die, she bargains with God to let him live. In return, she gives up their relationship (which was the next most precious thing to her after Samar). Soon after her bargain, his heart starts beating again and while they rush him to the hospital, she sorrowfully leaves.

She does not visit him in the hospital and after he recovers and she comes to find him. She tells him that they cannot have a relationship because she has already bargained them away. He gets angry but she begs him to leave London for her sake so she doesn't break her promise with God. He goes to the church that she prays in and challenges God and tells Him that he will take away Meera's belief in Him the same way He took Meeera away from him. He would do that by risking his life until he dies and Meera understands that He cannot protect him. He returns to his home land India and enlists in the Indian army, becoming a bomb-disposal expert.

When Akira finishes the diary in tears, she obtains permission to make a documentary about bomb-disposal squads. She asks Major Samar for help to make her film and develops a friendship with him and his team. She falls in love with Major Samar but he does not reciprocate her feelings because of his inconclusive love for Ms. Meera.

After a few years of hard work, Akira makes a successful film documentary with Major Samar's help and prepares to leave for London. She requests Major Samar to come along to help her publicize the documentary and for moral support to which he reluctantly agrees. He is reluctant to return to London because he has had bad memories of the accident and of his beloved Ms. Meera, who he knows still resides there.

As a twist of fate, Samar meets a huge car accident the day he arrives in London.

Samar is diagnosed with retrograde amnesia, and remembers only the events before his first accident a decade ago back in 2002. Concerned, Akira tracks Meera down and persuades her to help in Samar's recovery.

Meera agrees, pretending that she and Samar are married. As days fly by, Meera and Akira realise that Major Samar is only a fragment of the young Samar who used to be—happy and sociable, but is now a bitter and lonely .

Anyway, they can not do anything about this. Later, after six months Major Samar hears about a bomb planted in the London Underground and offers the local Police Force to help. They allow him and he goes on to diffuse it brilliantly to which he is applauded and now even more famous than before!

So after this event, it jogs his memory well enough for him to realise that Meera is lying to him (they are not married yet).

He confronts Meera at the church where she often prayed with a choice: to marry him as an honest woman (he will leave his dangerous job) or to continue to see him keep risking his life until he dies.

To this, Meera is unable to answer for some reason best known to herself.

Once again, Major Samar is disappointed with her reluctance and leaves immediately to return to his homeland India, this time settling in Kashmir.

Akira comes in between and shows the diary to Meera. During a conversation with Akira, Meera begins to realise that her beliefs and prayers subjected her beloved friend Samar to a fate worse than death; realising her mistake, she books the next flight to Kashmir immediately. Samar meets Meera as he diffuses his last bomb, and then they unite in each other's arms, living happily ever after.

Production

In June 2011, Yash Raj Films released a statement announcing a new directorial venture by Yash Chopra coinciding with the 50th anniversary of his Bollywood career. The producers also announced that the film would be released during the Diwali 2012 weekend. Chopra said the film was untitled at that time, similar to previous project Veer-Zaara (which was named on the day of its submission to the Central Board of Film Certification). The producers considered a number of titles but were not satisfied with any of them. In September 2012, it was announced that the title of the film was Jab Tak Hai Jaan. It was inspired by a similarly titled song from the 1975 film, Sholay.

Aditya Chopra wanted his father, Yash Chopra, to make another film and approached him with the concept for Jab Tak Hai Jaan. Shah Rukh Khan was their first choice for the role of Samar Anand, due to his long-standing relationship with the production house and the Chopra family. Khan, who was working on other projects at that time, was unavailable for the shooting schedule so it was changed. As in his previous productions, Yash Chopra wanted to introduce a fresh pairing in Jab Tak Hai Jaan and chose Katrina Kaif to star with Khan. Anushka Sharma was cast in a supporting role to complete her three-film contract with Yash Raj Films, with whom she had worked on many previous projects. Though casting was quickly completed, shooting was delayed because the lead actors were busy with other projects.

Khan's role spans two ages: one (age 28) as a London-based street musician and the other (ten years later) as an introverted, composed and dutiful army officer in Kashmir. In an interview, Khan revealed details about his character: Samar is "angry, unforgiving, with loads of emotional baggage. I play him sweet when he needs to be. Actually, he is a lot like I am. Samar is a combination of angst, tenderness, anger, and yeah, he’s pretty unforgiving."

Kaif's role was described as "the archetypal Yash Chopra seductress, an unattainable beauty". She worked hard to make her character believable (with help from Khan, who had previous experience with the director). Sharma's character, Akira, was described as a "21-year-old who works for the Discovery Channel and makes documentaries. She is on a quest to discover the truth behind the story of The Man Who Cannot Die (Samar Anand) in the film. She is extremely ambitious and will do anything to make it big and realize her dreams."

Filming

The film's principal photography was expected to begin in November 2011 but was delayed because Khan wanted to take a break after his two previous films, Ra.One and Don 2. Principal photography began on 9 January 2012 at Yash Raj Studios in Mumbai, where a significant part of was shot.

After filming in India, the crew began a 35-day shooting schedule in London on 22 February 2012. It was shot under the working title Production 45. Khan arrived in London on 21 February 2012, and finished filming on 26 March 2012. During the filming, photos of the actors on-set were leaked on the Internet, triggering a camera ban by the producers and increased security. A number of locations throughout the city featured in Jab Tak Hai Jaan, including the Borough Market, Jubilee Walkway, the Great Conservatory, the Palace of Westminster, Westminster Bridge, Trafalgar Square, the Hungerford Bridge and Golden Jubilee Bridges, the O2 Arena, the Tower Bridge, and Canary Wharf. A dance sequence was filmed next to King's College London law school in Somerset House. A car-crash scene was filmed at Shepherd's Bush by closing four streets in the area. Filming was completed on 27 March 2012 at an indoor location in East London.

The romantic scenes were directed by Chopra's son, Aditya, to give them a more contemporary feel. The "Ishq Shava" dance scene was shot with the leading duo and freestyle dancers in an underground club and aboard a boat on the River Thames. The film's climax, initially planned by Chopra to be shot in the mountains of Kashmir, was moved to Ladakh. This was reportedly suggested by Khan, whose Dil Se.. was shot in the area many years earlier. Portions of Jab Tak Hai Jaan were filmed in three Kashmiri cities: Srinagar, Pahalgam, and Gulmarg.

Yash Chopra wanted to add scenes from the Swiss Alps to the title song; however, the scheduled shoot was cancelled after his death. Aditya Chopra wanted to keep the film as it was because he felt that doing otherwise would "tamper" with his father's vision.

Soundtrack

The music for the film was composed by A. R. Rahman, who teamed up with Yash Chopra for the first time. He signed to compose the soundtrack in May 2011. The first song of the soundtrack was completed in December 2011. By February 2012, Rahman said in an interview with The Times of India that he had completed three songs for the film. He summarized the soundtrack album: "It's a combination. They wanted to do my kind of songs at the same time they wanted the old charm and soul of music that Indian audience would love and which I wanted to do for a long time." The soundtrack features nine songs, with eight lyrics by Gulzar and the title track written by Aditya Chopra. It was released by YRF Music on 9 October 2012.

Release

Jab Tak Hai Jaan was released on 600 screens in overseas markets; the estimated number of release screens in India was about 2,500. Yash Raj Films distributed the film to 1,000 multiplexes and 1,500 single-screen cinemas. Jab Tak Hai Jaan was selected for the Doha Tribeca Film Festival and the Marrakech International Film Festival. It was chosen to "honour the legacy" of Yash Chopra, since it was his last project.

Controversy

Two weeks before Jab Tak Hai Jaan's release, Ajay Devgn FFilms sent a notice to the Competition Commission of India accusing Yash Raj Films of monopolistic business practices; the notice contended that they used "their dominant position in the Bollywood film market" to secure many desirable single-screen theatres for their release. Yash Raj Films responded by saying that they were "shocked" and questioned Devgn's "motives". The studio denied Devgn's claim that high-quality single-screens were unavailable, pointing out that they had only booked 1,500 single-screens for Jab Tak Hai Jaan out of the 10,500 available in India. After the rebuttal by Yash Raj Films, Devgn said he only managed to book 600 single-screens for Son of Sardaar and would take legal action if not allotted more. He accused Yash Raj Films of signing tie-in agreements for Ek Tha Tiger with exhibitors, requiring them to show Jab Tak Hai Jaan on Diwali and keep it in cinemas for at least two weeks thereafter. A week before the release of Jab Tak Hai Jaan and Son of Sardaar, the commission dismissed Devgn's claim. In an interview a commission spokesperson said: "We considered the plea application. We have not found any merit in the case as there is no case of abuse of dominant position. There is no violation." After his notice was rejected, Devgn appealed the decision; the Appellate Tribunal refused Devgn's request to nullify agreements made with single-screen exhibitors for the release of Jab Tak Hai Jaan, but agreed to reexamine the case to determine if Yash Raj Films had engaged in monopolistic practices. Both films were released on 13 November 2012 in the number of single-screens originally contracted.

Reception

India

Jab Tak Hai Jaan received positive reviews from critics. Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave the film 4 (out of 5) stars, saying that it was "attention-grabbing from inception till conclusion. The drama only soars higher and the complex love story gets more and more gripping as the conflict between the characters come to the fore." Rachit Gupta of Filmfare gave it 4 (out of 5) stars: "At a gracious 3 hours runtime, JTHJ feels like an epic love story. And it is just that. JTHJ is the perfect adieu to a hallmark career. It is the best romantic film made in this generation." Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV gave it 3.5 (out of 5) stars: "Despite the lovey-dovey nothingness that drives the plot, Jab Tak Hai Jaan has more substance than most romantic films that come out of Bollywood." Meena Iyer of The Times of India rated it 3.5 (out of 5) stars, saying: "Every frame is picture-perfect, the emotions are well nuanced. But there is one inherent flaw – the story by Aditya Chopra is hackneyed." Subhash Jha (also from The Times of India) said, "Jab Tak Hai Jaan makes you fall in love with love all over again." Anupama Chopra of the Hindustan Times gave the film 3 (out of 5) stars: "Jab Tak Hai Jaan is too tangled to transport you. But I recommend that you see it. Because only Yash Chopra could make heartache so attractive and ennobling that his characters wear it like a badge of honor." Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN gave it 3 (out of 5) stars: "I'm going with three out of five for the late Yash Chopra's Jab Tak Hai Jaan. Despite its many script problems, it's a consistently watchable film that oozes with feeling and real emotion. A fitting swan song." OPEN magazine gave the film 3 (out of 5) stars, praising Yash Chopra's direction. Ajit Duara called it "a deeply-felt cinematic perspective from 80 years of living." Raja Sen of Rediff.com gave it 3 (out of 5) stars, saying: "As a swan-song for the master director, Jab Tak Hai Jaan might only be a middling effort. But then, sometimes, all we need is a Khan-song." Shabana Ansari of Daily News and Analysis gave the film 3 (out of 5) stars: "If you must, watch Jab Tak Hai Jaan for Shah Rukh, who can still convey love and passion in a fleeting look or a dimpled smile; and for Yash Chopra who gave us some of the most enduring romances of all times."

Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave the film 2.5 (out of 5) stars, saying "watch this one for Shah Rukh, who can still do the dimpled boy wonder and the older, mature lover with a wry smile and wounded wink and sexy nudge." Sukanya Verma (also from Rediff.com) described it as an "elegant, harmless entertainer for most part", praising the visuals, acting and music. She criticised the screenplay, contending that the film could have been "snappier", and gave it 2.5 (out of 5) stars. Piyasree Dasgupta of First Post wrote: "You have seen everything Jab Tak Hai Jaan has many times before, just in other films. And probably with far better music than A.R. Rahman threw into this one."

Overseas

Jab Tak Hai Jaan received positive reviews from critics overseas. Priya Joshi of the website Digital Spy gave it 3 (out of 5) stars: "The film is invested with a healthy dose of Shah Rukh, the very heart and saans of Yash Chopra and the message which he lived and breathed through his films: that love is eternal." Simon Foster of Australia's Special Broadcasting Service also gave it 3 (out of 5) stars, calling it "a grand cinematic work boasting all the pros and cons of the genre." He observed: "Chopra fans will not hear complaints that the great producer-director had become mired in a rut, or that his films are rote melodramas reliant on boisterous music (here, a typically string-heavy work from the omnipresent A.R. Rahman) and over-active camerawork. One could argue that it's their very vivid cinematic nature that makes them particularly noteworthy, even when the dialogue (at times, awful) and plotting (rarely based in logical realism) can test one's patience." Mark Olsen of the Los Angeles Times wrote: "The film has a freshness that would never lead one to think it was directed by an 80-year-old while at the same time it has a sureness of tone, a certainty about itself even at its most audacious, that only comes from the hand of a seasoned master...Jab Tak Hai Jaan serves as a fitting tribute to the career of Chopra." Lisa Tsering of The Hollywood Reporter wrote: "Director-producer Yash Chopra's film, his final project before he died, delivers not only the romance and human touch, but also reflects a modern sensibility." Nicolas Rapold of The New York Times wrote, "Even though the film drags, the magic of Bollywood is that this story's muddle of twists only clarifies the urgency behind the undying desires of all concerned parties." Mazhar Farooqui of Dubai's the Gulf News wrote: "Despite its inherent flaws, JTHJ comes across as a beguiling romantic film that takes you on a roller coaster ride of high emotions set amidst picture postcard locales but more than anyone the movie belongs to Chopra. In his swan song, the celebrated director once again proved why his legacy will be hard to match."

Awards

Jab Tak Hai Jaan received a number of nominations and awards at Bollywood award shows. The film has been praised for its direction, cinematography and chemistry between the lead actors, with Shahrukh Khan and Anushka Sharma receiving accolades for their performances; however, its script and predictable plot have been criticised. The film won four Filmfare Awards, five Zee Cine Awards and two Colors Screen Awards. Jab Tak Hai Jaan received several marketing and business awards for its overseas performance, promotions, distribution, and music. However, Sharma and Kaif were nominated for Golden Kela and Ghanta awards; some critics felt that their acting was less than stellar. Anushka Sharma and Shreya Ghoshal were the main recipients who were given awards.
