Usually I don't miss any movie of Shahrukh Khan. You might know Shahrukh Khan. He is one of the best actors in Bollywood (Hindi films). You can assume him as next superstar after Amitabh Bachchan who is the greatest superstar of the all the time. So we were talking about Shahrukh Khan and his movies. As soon as his new release comes at the box office, somehow I manage to see it. But I don't know what changed my mind with the release of Bollywood movie Veer-Zaara. I watched its trailer and advertisement. I heard some words from friends also that it is very boring and unbearable. It's too lengthy about more than 3 hours. I was not impressed with the preview of Veer-Zaara and hence decided to avoid it. I thought why to waste money on it. Better to watch when it will come on TV.

To make the story more spicy, emotional and tense, it has included the protagonist's girlfriend i.e. Zaara (Preeti Zinta) from another country (Pakistan). To create love relationship, an adventurous but beautiful scene has been added for Veer and Zaara. To create the relationship having three corners, negative character (fiance of Zaara), Manoj Bajpai, another Bollywood actor has been introduced. He has ill-feeling for Veer.

Director Yash Chopra has done a great job. He is successful in pulling the attention of the large audience. The interesting plot of Veer Zaara binds the audience till the last scene. Shahrukh Khan has really played the character of Veer in an extraordinary manner. He has
