Namrata Joshi Outlook The candyfloss comes mixed with the old-worldy. Rated: 3/4 May 4, 2015 Full Review Manish Gajjar BBC.com Veer Zaara has a great storyline with some unpredictable twists and emotions, keeping you engrossed throughout. May 4, 2015 Full Review Derek Elley Variety Though it doesn't quite match recent classics like Kabhi khushi kabhie gham in sheer technique and production sheen, in-depth star casting and thorough entertainment values make this a must-see for Bollywatchers. Jun 26, 2008 Full Review Vinayak Chakravorty Hindustan Times A strong script, good performances, and solid direction are the assets. The flip side? It’s still clichéd. Rated: 3/5 Oct 11, 2022 Full Review Nishtha Bhatnagar The Times of India Preity Zinta looks ravishing and has done complete justice to her character. May 4, 2015 Full Review Omar Ahmed Radio Times It's Chopra's ability to extract raw emotion from his two marvellous leads that impresses most of all. Rated: 4/5 May 4, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

Nabz 20 years later and what a treat! We cried, laughed, and had such a wholesome evening. A classic, saga that will forever live on! One of SRKs best! Forever! It was nostalgic and perfection! Wish they still made movies like this today. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/10/24 Full Review Jay S Heartbreaking and tear inducing. Absolutely amazing Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/01/24 Full Review Niloy D Best Indo- Pak romance Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/29/23 Full Review Shubhangi A The movie is a typical Bollywood classic romance. The element of 22 years and the selfless sacrifice for love from both Veer and Zara is very well portrayed. Even, Zara falling in love with Veer too makes sense. However, Veer falling in love with Zara can be depicted better and practical. Also, the Punjabi accent of the cast was too sketchy and fake. Overall, it is a good classic to watch in one way, however, I feel that it is a one-time watch movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/12/23 Full Review Peeyush M This movie may seem long at 3 hours length but it is totally worth it. Every minute of this movie is mesemerizing and it captures the essence of love and sacrifice so beautifully. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/23/23 Full Review Sarthak B What is the meaning of loving a film? I really don't know. But yes. I do know from the bottom of my heart that Veer-Zaara is an absolute masterpiece. This film has everything. And everything comes beautifully in its perfect place due to the influence of the powerful man behind the camera, Yash Chopra. How can one man pull off such masterclass in storytelling that even though the concept and the story being so cliche feels so fresh and unique? You will always be missed sir. First off, SRK and Preity Zinta are just magnificent in the film. There is no second guessing there. the story of Veer Pratap Singh leaving his entire life behind to protect the honour of Zaara Hayaaat Khan is supposed to be an emotional rollercoaster and both of them don't miss a beat. I can't not believe that there is a man alive who can love Zaara more than Veer and it is all due to the performances of these two actors. truly exceptional work by both of them. the rest of the cast also is simply great. although most of the screentime is given to the leads, amitabh bachchan, hema malini, manoj bajpayee, rani mukerji, boman irani, all of them do a great job to support the love story perfectly. the music is also really good. an album so good it will make you wanna cry, dance, be happy and fill you with all emotions humanly possible. idk about you guys but, this film is perfect for me. a story I will never forget and cry everytime I rewatch it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
