Veer-Zaara Page #5

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.

lt is done before the ashes

are immersed in the river.

416

00:
43:47,500 -- 00:43:50,999

So, why aren't we doing it?

- We aren't doing it because..

417

00:
43:51,083 -- 00:43:53,915

..you are a Muslim. And

this is a temple of the Sikhs.

418

00:
43:54,291 -- 00:43:55,999

And it's in our interest to

quietly immerse the ashes and..

..leave from here.

420

00:

No, l want to immerse the

ashes with the complete rituals.

421

00:
44:03,083 -- 00:44:07,082

No, no, Zaara. lt's like this..

some priests are fanatics.

422

00:
44:07,750 -- 00:44:10,499

So, you'll get insulted and

l'll get beaten up unnecessarily.

423

00:
44:11,916 -- 00:44:13,999

Should l go and ask?

- No, no, you don't ask.

424

00:
44:14,083 -- 00:44:18,249

Wait here. l'll ask.

You sit right here.. please.

425

00:
44:20,500 -- 00:44:22,915

Dear God, it's all

in your blessings.

426

00:
44:23,750 -- 00:44:29,832

l'd told you about Kiritpur, right?

Just immerse me there.

427

00:
44:30,250 -- 00:44:31,915

l'll get refuge.

428

00:
44:50,416 -- 00:44:51,499

ls your name Zaara?

429

00:
44:51,583 -- 00:44:52,665

Yes.

430

00:
44:52,750 -- 00:44:54,415

You've come from Pakistan? Yes..

l've been in this

temple since 42 years.

432

00:
45:01,458 -- 00:45:03,582

But l have never seen

such de?otion.

433

00:
45:05,666 -- 00:45:08,915

You've done more than

a real daughter would.

434

00:
45:10,000 -- 00:45:12,915

lt would be an honour for me to

do the last rites for your Bebe.

435

00:

Come, dear, come with me. Come..

436

Dear God, it's all

in your blessings.

Put your hand out and

fulfil Bebe's last wish with me.

440

00:
46:06,583 -- 00:46:07,999

But how can l..

441

00:
46:08,625 -- 00:46:12,999

Look here, neither l, nor

you are Bebe's children. But..

442

00:
46:13,083 -- 00:46:16,165

lf it weren't for you l

wouldn't have been able to get..

443

00:
46:16,250 -- 00:46:18,665

..Bebe here so easily.

444

00:
46:21,000 -- 00:46:23,665

Like me, now, you too have

formed a bond with Bebe.

445

00:
46:24,833 -- 00:46:25,999

So, the right..

446

00:
46:26,083 -- 00:46:28,415

..to perform this final rite

is not just mine, but yours too.

447

00:
46:29,000 -- 00:46:30,082

Come.

448

00:
47:02,333 -- 00:47:05,999

Zaara, here's your bus ticket.

You'll reach Atari. And from there..

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…
