What does it mean?

What does it mean to Rahul when he spends his whole life worried that his adoptive parents might get sick of him and then realises that no, they DO love him, just to be proved wrong when his father throws him out because he fell in love?

What does it mean to Anjali when she goes to her new in-laws place hoping to find a mother's love, a father and a new family only to return with nothing but the man she knows will do anything for her?

What does it mean to Nandini when she is separated from her eldest son for 10 years but her husband asks him if he should've asked for him to come back?

I don't think I appreciate Samiya enough even after adoring Veer Zaara with my entire being.

A girl in a male dominated field. Fighting prejudices, seeing humans as humans irrespective of religion nation etc, going against your own mentor because it went against her ideals.

A headstrong woman with strong beliefs and a heart full of love for humanity.

And she was based on a real person.

We used to have such movies with such beautiful characters that it overshadowed the jingoism going on in the rest of the country. Now the jingoism is loud and we don't have such characters.

So holding onto Samiya tightly. Holding onto Veer Zaara tightly. It's not simply nostalgia that is making people go watch it again in theatres 2 decades later. It's the hopeful nation that still sees beyond hate. It's women seeing strong women with their feminity and competency and love. It's us seeing Veer and Zaara and Samiya going against elders and conventions and winning at the end with love.

I again saw a post on Veer Zaara and went on another spiral 🫠

Watching SRK-Yash Chopra movies as a kid is the biggest reason I'll never find a partner. I blame them for giving me unrealistic expectations.

Remembering #YashChopra, the legendary filmmaker, on his 12th death anniversary (21/10/12).

Yash Raj Chopra (27 September 1932 – 21 October 2012) was a distinguished Indian film director and producer in Hindi cinema. He was the visionary founder and chairman of the film production and distribution powerhouse Yash Raj Films. His illustrious career earned him numerous accolades, including 6 National Film Awards and 8 Filmfare Awards, marking him as one of the paramount filmmakers in Hindi cinema, especially revered for his romantic narratives with compelling female protagonists. His remarkable contributions to the film industry were recognized by the Government of India with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2001 and the Padma Bhushan in 2005. Further, in 2006, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts gave him a lifetime membership, a first for an Indian.

Chopra's cinematic journey commenced as an assistant director to I. S. Johar and his elder brother, B.R. Chopra. He debuted as a director with Dhool Ka Phool in 1959, a melodrama exploring illegitimacy, followed by the social drama Dharmputra (1961). His directorial finesse gained prominence with the critically and commercially acclaimed family drama Waqt (1965), which introduced the trend of ensemble casts in Bollywood. In 1970, he launched his own production entity, Yash Raj Films, with its maiden venture being Daag: A Poem of Love (1973), a melodrama delving into polygamy, which garnered success. His winning streak continued through the seventies with iconic films like the action-thriller Deewaar (1975), which catapulted Amitabh Bachchan to stardom; the musical romantic drama Kabhi Kabhie (1976), and the ensemble family drama Trishul (1978). Chopra crafted two of his magnum opuses with Sridevi: the romantic musical Chandni (1989), which played a pivotal role in veering Bollywood away from violent themes towards romantic musicals, and Lamhe (1991), an intergenerational romantic drama, which, despite underperforming domestically, enjoyed overseas success.

Following the critically lacking Parampara (1993), he helmed the musical psychological thriller Darr (1993), marking the onset of his collaborative journey with Shahrukh Khan. This partnership flourished with romantic hits like Dil To Pagal Hai (1997), Veer-Zaara (2004), and Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012). Although he announced his retirement in 2012, his dedication saw him working until his demise during the production of Jab Tak Hai Jaan due to dengue fever. Yash Raj Chopra's directorial legacy, embodied in his extensive work, cements his position as one of Bollywood's timeless directors.
