Veer-Zaara Page #16

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.

Can you imagine.. everyday of

my life will be a living hell.

1400

02:
16:39,875 -- 02:16:42,040

You and Zaara were the

ones who dared to lo?e.

1401

02:
16:45,541 -- 02:16:46,874

Why should l be put to test?

1402

02:
16:54,541 -- 02:16:57,540

Either your life

should be a living hell..

1403

So, now you're being tested.

02:
17:19,875 -- 02:17:26,290

l can make Zaara's life heaven or

hell. But it's all in your hands.

1408

02:
17:28,708 -- 02:17:33,707

As long as you sit silently

within the four walls of a prison..

1409

02:
17:35,291 -- 02:17:39,374

..Zaara's life will be

more beautiful than heaven.

1410

02:
17:41,625 -- 02:17:45,207

The moment you open your mouth,

Zaara's life will..

1411

02:
17:45,291 -- 02:17:47,624

..become worse than hell.

1412

02:
17:52,041 -- 02:17:55,457

Veer Pratap Singh's

identity has to be destroyed..

1413

02:
17:55,541 -- 02:17:58,874

..in order to give Zaara

a good life.

1414

Now, this.. is the true

test of love.

lt's time for the wedding.

1417

02:
18:23,041 -- 02:18:24,207

Either you disgrace

the names of Zaara..

1418

02:
18:24,291 -- 02:18:26,624

..and her family and

buy your freedom..

1419

02:
18:27,458 -- 02:18:29,207

..or sign on those papers and..

1420

02:
18:29,291 -- 02:18:31,290

..ensure a lifetime of

happiness for Zaara.

1421

02:
18:33,708 -- 02:18:34,790

The decision is in your hands.

1422

18:37,041 -- 02:18:38,124

Goodbye.

02:
18:50,875 -- 02:18:58,624

"Why is there a tradition

of Cruelty?"

1425

02:
18:59,291 -- 02:19:05,540

"Why is the society the way it is?"

1426

02:
19:06,208 -- 02:19:14,290

"These traditions of this world.. l

am completely overwhelmed by them."

1427

02:
19:14,375 -- 02:19:16,207

"Do not ask what my

complaints are.."

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…
