Jab Tak Hai Jaan

Jab Tak Hai Jaan (English: As Long As There is Life/As Long As I Live) 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 film was Yash Chopra's fourth film to feature Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role. 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 received positive reviews from critics in India and overseas. 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.
