'Veer Zaara'

After a long gap of seven years, Yash Chopra returns to direction with a movie about love and human relationships that cannot be constrained by borders and nationalities. Both actresses in the film – Preity Zinta and Rani Mukherjee – play Pakistani women and Shah Rukh Khan plays an Indian pilot.

A movie that aims to bridge the distance in the hearts of Indians and Pakistanis, Veer Zaara tells the story of squadron leader

Veer Pratap Singh (Shahrukh), a rescue pilot with the Indian Air Force. He is a humble man who gives without asking, who loves unconditionally and keeps no prejudice in his heart.

One day, while on duty, Veer meets Zaara Hayaat Khan (Preity), daughter of a Pakistani politician who has come to India to fulfill her surrogate mother's death wish. Zaara is stranded because of a bus accident and Veer, true to his nature, helps her. The time Veer and Zaara spend together forms an unshakable bond between them, a bond that flowers into pure love.

But destiny had something else in store for Veer and Zaara.

Twenty-two years later, Veer is a man languishing in Pakistani jails for more than two decades. All this time he has not spoken a word and spent months and years in a dazed state, lost in his memories.

Saamiya Siddiqui (Rani), a Pakistani lawyer is given Veer’s case. Saamiya is an idealist whose mission in life is to uphold justice and fight for women's empowerment. Veer’s case is her first one, and has been purposely given to her to dissuade her from being successful.

Veer’s case is by no degrees an easy case. A man who hasn’t uttered a word for more than twenty years and she has to fight for him. Saamiya takes her time with Veer and slowly he responds. And when she comes to know his story, she is so deeply moved that she decides to fight for his justice against all odds...

Veer Zaara also stars Kiron Kher, Divya Dutta, Boman Irani, Anupam Kher, Zohra Segal, S. M. Zaheer, Rushad Rana, Tom Alter and Gurdas Mann.
The film has music by late maestro Madan Mohan, whose unused melodies have been reworked by his son for the songs in the film.
