Veer-Zaara Page #10

Synopsis: Squadron Leader Veer Pratap Singh (Shah Rukh Khan) is a rescue pilot with the Indian Air Force. In the line of duty he comes across a stranded Zaara (Preity Zinta) - a girl from Pakistan who has come to India to fulfill her surrogate mothers dying wish. Veer saves her life and his life is never the same again. Twenty two years later Saamia Siddiqui (Rani Mukerji), a Pakistani human rights lawyer on her first case, finds herself face to face with an ageing Veer Pratap Singh. He has languished in a Pakistan jail cell for 22 years and has not spoken to anyone all these years. And no one knows why. Her mission is to discover the truth about Veer and see to it that justice is served. VEER-ZAARA is a saga of love, separation, courage and sacrifice. A love that is divine, a love that is whole-hearted, a love that is completely consuming, a love that grows with separation and deepens with sacrifice. A love that is an inspiration - and will remain a legend forever.

01:
16:36,333 -- 01:16:38,999

You'll take Zaara to Atari and see

her onto her train. She's all alone.

848

01:
16:39,083 -- 01:16:41,082

What if something happens to her?

849

01:
16:42,000 -- 01:16:44,915

She's become your favourite

in a day?

850

01:
16:45,500 -- 01:16:49,332

You would get upset when it was

time for me to leave, and stop me.

851

01:
16:49,500 -- 01:16:51,165

Today, you want me

to leave quiCkly?

For your son?

- Father.

865

01:
17:32,083 -- 01:17:35,999

What are you doing? Here,

girls don't touch the feet.

866

01:
17:36,458 -- 01:17:37,540

But daughters ask for blessings..

867

01:
17:37,625 -- 01:17:39,582

..before they bid

farewell to their fathers.

868

01:
17:41,833 -- 01:17:44,082

May you live long, my dear.

869

01:
17:47,833 -- 01:17:51,082

- lt will take about half hour.

874

01:
18:33,666 -- 01:18:35,832

Look after yourselves.

875

01:
18:36,916 -- 01:18:38,665

Goodbye.

876

01:
18:45,750 -- 01:18:48,082

What do you think?

Will veeru tell her?

877

01:
18:48,916 -- 01:18:52,165

He's Chaudhary Sumer Singh's son,

why won't he tell her?

878

01:
18:53,000 -- 01:18:54,832

Didn't l tell you?

879

01:
18:54,916 -- 01:18:58,999

Stop it.

880

01:

882

01:
19:14,083 -- 01:19:15,999

ln exchange for my one day..

883

01:
19:16,083 -- 01:19:21,082

..you've given me a lifetime

of memories and relationships.

884

01:
19:21,833 -- 01:19:25,999

lt was a promise from an lndian to a

Pakistani. lf l didn't fulfil it..

885

01:
19:26,083 -- 01:19:29,499

..my Country's honour

would've been tarnished, right?

886

01:
19:31,416 -- 01:19:35,082

l think getting Bebe's ashes

here was God's way to get me here.

887

01:
19:36,000 -- 01:19:40,665

l was destined to meet all of you.

Don't you?

- Not until now.

890

01:
19:48,583 -- 01:19:49,665

But now, l've begun to believe.

891

01:
19:57,000 -- 01:19:58,499

Are you all right?

892

01:

Aditya Chopra

Aditya Chopra (born 21 May 1971) is an Indian filmmaker. His work as a director includes Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995), Mohabbatein (2000), Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008) and Befikre (2016).He is also the current Chairman of India's multi-national film, media and entertainment conglomerate Yash Raj Films (YRF). Chopra has written and produced a number of critically acclaimed and commercially successful films under the banner such as Veer-Zaara (2004), Fanaa (2006), Band Baaja Baaraat (2010), Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012), the Dhoom series (2004, 2006 & 2013), Sultan (2016) and the Tiger series (2012 & 2017). He has broken away from typecast through production of off-beat films such as Kabul Express (2006), Chak De! India (2007), Rocket Singh (2009), Dum Laga Ke Haisha (2015) and Hichki! (2018), that do not necessarily fit into the realm of "Masala films". Chopra is also the first to move towards a true film studio model through independent projects helmed by producers, writers and directors under his banner. Major production and post-production work of the company is now carried out of YRF Studios (co-founded by his ex-wife Payal Khanna), where Chopra serves as Chief Executive. As of March 2018, he has produced eight films that have accumulated worldwide gross earnings of more than ₹200 crore, which is the most for an Indian film producer. In December 2009, Chopra rejected an extremely aggressive acquisition bid by Walt Disney, valued upwards of ₹2500 crore, to remain and continue purely as an independent entity exclusively funded by domestic enterprises. Apart from emerging as an equitable brand, his company has earned the status of a movie movie mogul, through distribution networks spread across the globe. With a majority of his work being part of the highest grossing films of all time, the company is estimated to be net worth ₹6350 crore (FY17/18) by multiple NSE and BSE analysts, thereby making it the biggest and most successful film production company in the history of Cinema. The Government of India honoured him with the National Film Award for his contribution to the arts, on three separate years (1995, 2005 and 2007) through the Directorate of Film Festivals. In June 2018, he was awarded membership into The Academy by the Producers Guild of America. Widely regarded as one of the most influential and powerful executives in Indian entertainment, Chopra has however rejected the publicity and fame that came with being Yash Chopra's son and the Chief Executive of Yash Raj Films. He has remained extremely media-shy and a passive individual, battling constant reports of an alleged dysthymic disorder throughout his three-decade career, resulting in very few public photos of him being in existence. more…
