Veer Zarra

Shah Rukh Khan as Veer Pratap Singh, Rani Mukherjee as Saamiya Siddique and Preity Zinta as Zarra Khan act in this movie about love across the India-Pakistan border. The movie is a Yash Raj Production, with an famed supporting cast of Anupam Kher, Kirron Kher, Boman Irani, Manoj Bajpai, Amitabh Bachchan, Hema Malini and many others. With all the hype of the characters, I started the movie with sky high expectations and the movie gave me rock bottom enjoyment.
Saamiya is an upcoming female lawyer in the country of Pakistan, that has been oppressing women. As her first, she gets a case that no one has won or had any hope in so far. She tries to get the prisoner talk and succeeds.
Veer is on the Indian Air Force rescue squad. On one of these missions, he rescues Zarra and is instantly attracted to her.
Zarra is the only daughter of an upcoming politician and as one of his moves, he arranges her marriage to one of his political friends' son. Zarra's nanny gets very sick and passes away before the marriage takes place and on her deathbed, wishes her ashes to be put in her homeland, India. So Zarra leaves for India.
With a growing friendship, he gets to know that she is in India to immerse the ashes of her nanny into the nanny's holy site. He helps her to get the goal. And in return, invites her to his homeland. She enjoys herself very much and when she is about to leave, he decides to propose, but her fiancee ends up coming down. Veer is very devastated, but he tells her of his feelings anyway.
Zarra leaves with her fiancee, but is unable to forget Veer. Shabbo, her friend, invites Veer to take Zarra with him. When Veer arrives, his union with Zarra makes quite a scene and her father falls sick. To help her dying father, Veer and Zarra decide to separate.
When he is leaving for India, he is arrested by Pakistan police and forced to confess his identity as another. He finds out that Zarra's fiancee is behind this to take his revenge. He agrees keeping Zarra's future in mind and has been in the cell ever since. It had been 22 years since that happened.
Saamiya, now starts and her and realises that her opponent is her ex-teacher and cunning leading lawyer. As she expected, the case seems like they might be losing, but Veer had strictly forbidden her to use any of Zarra's family's names, fearing her well being.
As a last resort, Saamiya leaves for India. Veer's uncle and aunt have passed away, but she finds an aged Zarra running a school. She finds out that after Veer was apparently killed in an accident in Pakistan, Zarra refused the marriage and returned to India to live with Veer's uncle and aunt and had been here ever since.
Saamiya now takes Zarra back to Pakistan. The case is obviously won by Saamiya and the old couple return back to India.
Most of the movie was in every other language, other than Hindi. Even though I lived in a city where there was a mix of languages, I found it hard to follow at some places. Perhaps, why I couldn't enjoy the intricacies of the movie. But, even otherwise, the storyline seemed really weak and pointless. The screenplay was weak and dying. An OK movie, but I would take a raincheck.
