''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 Shah Rukh 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. 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 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. 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.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.yashrajfilms.com/News/NewsDetails.aspx?newsid=1d3cf0a4-a473-4513-ae21-2864f6464dd5 )〕 ''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).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=intl&id=mynameiskhan.htm )〕 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. ==Plot== Samar Anand (Shahrukh Khan), a major in the Indian Army, defuses a bomb in Ladakh without fear or regard for his safety. Akira Rai (Anushka Sharma), a Discovery Channel filmmaker, dives into a river in Ladakh on a dare and soon regrets it after learning she has plunged into freezing water. Samar, who happens to be by the shore, rescues her. Samar gives her his jacket and leaves without retrieving it. Later, Akira finds his diary in the jacket pocket and begins reading. The diary recounts Samar's earlier years as a struggling immigrant in London, working as a busker who also performs other odd jobs to support himself and his roommate Zain (Sharib Hashmi). One day while cleaning snow outside a church, he sees Meera Thapar (Katrina Kaif) for the first time and instantly begins to like her. Samar is working part-time as a waiter when he meets Meera again at her and her fiance Roger's engagement party. Samar is a little bit disheartened seeing that. Meera grew up, motherless, in an affluent Indian family. Meera's mother (Neetu Singh) left her family for another man (Rishi Kapoor) when Meera was twelve. This leaves the dominant parental figure in her life to be her father (Anupam Kher), for whose company she works. Meera approached Samar to teach her a beautiful Punjabi song for her father's 50th birthday and in return Samar asks Meera to give him language tuitions for one month.Meanwhile, Samar founds out the real naughty Meera inside Meera. Samar notices that Meera often prays when he sees her at church, and after a night of wild street dancing, Samar and Meera begin to fall in love. Samar helps Meera face her past, taking her to visit her estranged mother and foster reconciliation. Some days later Meera decides to confess to her father about her relationship with Samar and break her engagement, but Samar has a serious accident on his motorbike. Meera, believing she is the cause of Samar's spate of bad luck, prays to God to save his life and promises never to see him again. Samar recovers and Meera admits her vow to him. Angry, he leaves her and even London. Samar challenges God to keep him alive while he risks his life every day, because he believes his death is the only way to make Meera lose her faith in God. He goes to India and enlists in the army, becoming a bomb-disposal expert. When Akira finishes reading the diary, she obtains permission to make a documentary about bomb-disposal squads. She asks Samar for help to make her film and develops an acquaintance with him and his team. Akira develops a crush on Samar; however, he does not reciprocate his feelings owing to his unresolved passion for Meera. Akira makes a successful film and prepares to leave for London. She wants Samar come along to help her publicise the documentary. After he reluctantly agrees to come to London, he is struck by a car. Samar is diagnosed with retrograde amnesia, and he remembers only the events before his first accident a decade ago. Concerned, Akira tracks Meera down and persuades her to aid in Samar's recovery. Meera agrees, pretending to be Samar's wife. In the meantime, Akira realises that Major Samar is only a fragment of the young Samar; he used to be happy and sociable, but is now bitter and lonely. One day Samar finds a bomb planted in the London Underground, and helps defuse it. The event jogs his memory, and he realises that Meera is lying to him. Samar confronts Meera with a choice: to either be with him honestly, or to see him keep risking his life until he is dead. Meera is unable to give a definitive answer; heartbroken, Samar leaves for Kashmir, where he continues defusing bombs. During a conversation with Akira, Meera realises that her beliefs and prayers subjected Samar to a fate worse than death; realising her mistake, she goes to Kashmir and they reunite. Samar defuses his last bomb, and then proposes to her. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jab Tak Hai Jaan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
