Going into the details of this problem will require three pages of hard to digest words. More than a hundred minutes of loopholes in the story and treatment. Then comes the done-and-dusted premise of rich girl falling in love with a poor boy because of his pure heart followed by the most ridiculous reason for a breakup. SRK is singing on the streets like a carefree teenager or quivering his lips in emotional scenes which he did a decade back in almost all his early movies. Katrina Kaif is a Non Resident Indian (NRI) with accented Hindi for umpteenth time: cue Namaste London, New York, Singh is King, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan.Īnushka Sharma is a bubbly, read: annoying, Delhi girl yet again: cue Band Baaja Baraat, Badmaash Company, Ladies vs. Even if we ignore (which I could not) the fact that Anupam Kher is shown as a 50-year-old man in the film while SRK for a good 50% of the film is 25 and Katrina Kaif 21, there is a lot that went wrong with the script and extremely scattered screenplay did not help either.

At least two of them could make full movies on their own. Be it the distant inspiration from the classic Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or almost all the love stories you would have seen in the past, there is no real story in JTHJ instead there is a strange mix of too many stories here. The story or the lack of it, or too much of it. Had it been some other team behind the creation of JTHJ, I would have walked out of the film at the half time. If I takeout SRK’s acting during the second half and the dance off in the first half before the Ishq Shawa song, JTHJ turned out to be a colossal disappointment. Meanwhile, Yash Chopra passed away and it became impossible for me to not watch it. Add to it the combination of AR Rehman and Gulzar saab in the music department and Yash Chopra at the helm of the affairs and rest assured something special should have been in the making. The day I saw the first promo of Jab Tak Hai Jaan ( JTHJ), I became excited on the prospect of seeing the actor again. I chose not to watch Ra One, Don 2, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi etcetera, as quite clearly they did not belong to SRK the actor. I haven’t seen any SRK film since My Name Is Khan. I like the former but I have serious issues with the latter. SRK the star is the one we saw in Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna and Om Shanti Om. SRK the actor is the one we saw in Chak de India and Dil se. ‘ SRK the star’ has overshadowed SRK the actor for quite some time now.
