Comments Zaara brings her Bebe's ashes to India and that is when her bus has an accident and she is rescued and airlifted by Squadron Leader Veer Pratap Singh, who not only saves her life, but also changes it completely. Zaara's friend and confidante, Shabbo (played in a most effervescent manner by Divya Dutta) calls up Veer to tell him about Zaara's coming marriage to Raza (which is a poltically motivated decision of Zaara and Raza's fathers) and her love for Veer. In return for the help that Veer provides Zaara in taking her to her destination in India, Zaara promises to spend a day with Veer in his village...give one day of her life to him, as is said in the movie. modec.blogdrive.com /comments?id=97   (1127 words)

Balboa Theater - Veer-Zaara Though avoiding messy issues of globalization (Veer rocks mall-wear, but Zaara is no J.Lo clone), director Yash Chopra manages to fight several culture wars while milking the melodrama. Low-lidded Rani Mukherjee plays the Pakistani human rights lawyer for whom Veer's case is a chance to achieve justice, reunite the lovers, and pave the way for other young women to practice law.

Veer-Zaara Hindi Movie Review - 'Veer-Zaara' - Preview, Wallpaper, Stills, Screensaver, Trailer In sequences such as the one where Veer meets Zaara's fiancé (Manoj Bajpai) on the railway station, or when Zaara's mother (the brilliantly passionate Kirron Kher) implores Veer to give back her daughter for the sake of family honour, are potentially clichéd situations converted into a celebration of life through the writer's imagination. And those who thought Preity couldn't be rustic and earthy, better watch how she slips into Zaara's slippers, imparting a coltish seductiveness to the part. The writing skills imparted to the story of 'forbidden' love are immense, and so is the performance level of the cast. www.nowrunning.com /film/review.asp?movieNo=1697   (787 words)
