For a love story Jab Tak Hai Jaan has all the right ingredients — Shahrukh Khan, Katrina Kaif, Anushka Sharma, London, the celebrated (late) Yash Chopra as director and Oscar-winning A R Rahman as music composer.So why, in spite of its every effort, does the film not work for even a diehard Khan and Chopra fan like me?

Mind you, it is a successful film. The Rs 45 crore, three-hour long saga has reportedly crossed Rs 100 crore in box-office revenues. The producers Yashraj Films will typically get one-third of that Rs 100 crore after taxes and trade share. Add overseas and other revenues and the film will end up making a respectable profit. It is however one of the most dissatisfying Yash Chopra films.
