Veer-zaara Synopsis

Squadron Leader Veer Pratap Singh is a rescue pilot with the Indian Air Force, who risks his own life to save the lives of others. One day, on duty, he comes across a stranded girl from Pakistan, Zaara. Zaara, a carefree, sprightly girl has come to India to fulfill her surrogate grandmother's dying wish. She meets with a bus accident leaving her stranded in a foreign land. Veer saves her life... and his life is never the same again... Twenty-two years later, Saamiya Siddiqui, a Pakistani lawyer on her first case, finds herself face-to-face with an aging 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. And thus starts her journey to unveil the truth... the story of Veer and his life... Why has Veer been silent for 22 years? Why is he in a jail in Pakistan? Where is Zaara? What happened to her? God has written the destinies of Veer and Zaara, such that they can never be joined together. Saamiya has come to change that... to join Veer and Zaara together... forever...

Appalled at Human Rights abuses in Pakistan, the International Human Rights Commission recruits an aspiring young lawyer, Saamiya Siddiqui, to look into the rights of prisoners, especially those who have been languishing in jails for years without getting a fair trial. One of the cases she is assigned pertains to Prisoner No.786 alias Rajesh Rathore an alleged spy for the Indian army who was caught red-handed spying, and sentenced indefinitely to jail. Saamiya meets with an aged looking individual and finds out that his real name is Veer Pratap Singh. She is told that he has never spoken or said a word for over 22 years, but he responds to her as she calls him by his real name. Veer starts to tell his story to her, and thereafter she realizes that he is not Rajesh Rathore nor a spy - but a Sikh man who loves an Islamic woman, Zaara Haayat Khan; was caught up in a web of deceit and betrayal, made to sign a "confession", and has since been languishing in prison. She has to now prove that Veer has been wrongly jailed, but she faces many obstacles, including the fact that her peers do not approve of a woman doing a "man's job"; and that the country's top prosecutor, Zakir Ahmed, her former employer, is himself taking an interest in this case. Saamiya has her work cut for her, for she has to prove that it is not Rajesh Rathore who is imprisoned, but Veer Pratap Singh. All she can find out is that Veer Pratap Singh was killed in a bus accident 22 years ago. So who exactly is Rajesh Rathore? And why didn't Zaara come out in his defense?

Veer-zaara Preview

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.
