Year 1975. Angry Young Man image became the flavor of the decade with arrival of Vijay Verma. Vijay and perhaps the most iconic tattoo of Indian cinema portrayed the angst brewing in the society. Deewaar was a big hit. References of Haji Mastan added more spice to the stories. Released on Jan 1st, movie was heralded as the biggest hit of the year. Deewar was directed by Yash Chopra. On August 15th, Sholay was released. At Filmfare, Deewaar was the king but on Box Office Sholay was creating a new history. The year 1975 is remembered for Sholay.
Who would have thought that Yashraj will have another moment in his life when he will share something with Sholay. Jab Tak Hai Jaan might sound like a lame title for a movie that stars Shahrukh Khan and Katrina Kaif, for the first time as a pair, it definitely a fitting moment to celebrate two iconic movies. Circle of life... I don’t know if this is an acknowledgement of a co-incidence... I would rather chose to believe the former.
JBTJ will be a sort of comeback for SRK. It has been long since we have seen SRK in a conventional love story. He had experimented enough and for good but it will be a pleasure to see him in true romantic colors. Katrina is perhaps the most bankable actress in current scenario and that’s make her combo with SRK even more lucrative. Anushka Sharma... is she playing a major role or an extended cameo. We need to wait for this. One last interesting thing... last time Yashraj directed, he opened up a Pandora box of hidden treasures. Music of Veer Zaara was a bliss. Now he is collaborating with A.R. Rahman. This is going to be epic.
Love,
Sujoy Ghosh
