Jab Tak Hai Jaan (English: As Long as I Live, literally "as long, or as far, as there is life") is a 2012 Indian romantic drama film directed by Yash Chopra and written and produced by Aditya Chopra under their production banner, Yash Raj Films. It features Shahrukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma in lead roles. The movie is the first collaboration between Khan and Kaif, and the second between Khan and Sharma (they previously featured in the 2008 film Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi). Yash Chopra returned to directing eight years after Veer-Zaara. This was to be his final film before his death in October 2012, at age 80.[4] The background score and soundtrack was composed by A.R. Rahman, with lyrics from Gulzar.
Set in London, England, Jab Tak Hai Jaan tells the story of Akira Rai (Sharma), an ambitious, hardworking intern at the Discovery Channel. Akira finds the diary of one Samar Anand (Khan), a bomb-disposal expert. The diary recounts Samar's time as a struggling immigrant to London, and later details his whirlwind romance with Meera Thapar (Kaif). The film was released during the six-day Diwali weekend beginning on 13 November 2012.[5][6] The movie received positive-to-mixed reviews from critics in India and positive reviews overseas. It opened well at the box office, and Box Office India declared the film a "hit" in India and a "blockbuster" overseas.[7][8] Jab Tak Hai Jaan emerged as the third-highest-grossing Bollywood film overseas at that time, after 3 Idiots and My Name Is Khan (2010).[9]
The film was praised for its direction, cinematography and the chemistry between its lead actors. Khan and Sharma were lauded for their performances, though the movie's predictable plot drew criticism. At the end of its theatrical run Jab Tak Hai Jaan received a number of awards, including four Filmfare Awards, which included trophies for Best Supporting Actress (Sharma) and Best Lyrics for Gulzar.
