@TheBlackJaguar: Did you already see JTHJ?

I'm liking the Lamhe discussion. The movie is Yash ji's personal favourite too...the USP of it lies in its simplicity! Even though it probably deals with one of the greater conflicts in a romantic movie, but it is never over dramatized (which it could've easily been). Its handled w/ maturity and a bit of realism (the characters' reactions to the situation that is). You will be gripped with it emotionally and go along w/ each characters' journey. Plus, the story really flows very smoothly... which helps deal with an issue like the age gap between Pooja and Kunwarji more easily.

Personally, I do know someone who still loves a woman even though she has been married for years now. He is still single...and I think somewhere the woman still has feelings for him.

But, I think for Kunwarji, the un reciprocated love for Pallavi has become a usual part of his life. So, even though he may not have the same "level" of romantic feelings for Pallavi down a few years, he may not have realized it. And I guess when he fell in love w/ Pooja, it came to him that he had moved on but couldn't accept the fact that he could do that (to him it prolly seemed like a betrayal to his unhindered love for Pallavi).

i loved Lamhe too ..watched recent ly ...i dont like old movies ..actually cant connect with them ...but i LOVED Lamhe ...it deserved 2 b a blockbuster ...donno why it dint work @BO

Lamhe was too progressive for its time, or that is what was said to explain its box-office failure! But it picked up cult status later on, when people watched it on DVD!

I was still in my early teens when I saw Lamhe, and to be frank, it was a bit scandalizing for me at that time...to watch a man ultimately marry a girl who is the daughter of a woman he once loved! Also, Anil Kapoor's white hair did not help proceedings at all!😆 I think more than the 'taboo' relationship between Kunwarsa and Pooja, the conflict had more to do with their age-gap, rather than how they were related to each other in the film! But then at that time, screen-heros and their counterpart were in the same age group, unlike today's 40 somethings romancing 20 somethings!😆 So it did feel odd to see a 'white-haired' Kunwarsa singing duets with a teenaged girl!

Lamhe was a modern love-story, even though set in traditional Rajasthan (and ofcourse later London...but the characters in the story were all from traditional backgrounds)...the emotions in the film were 'modern'...'forward thinking...' One of my favorite scenes from the film was one where Siddharth tells his wife Pallavi that she never realized how much Kunwarsa loves her...and when Pallavi explodes in indignation and asks him if he doesn't feel insecure or jealous, he says that he respects and emphasized with Kunwarsa's feelings, because he realizes that Pallavi is the kind of women, whom men will easily fall in love with!

JTHJ...well, the emotions are there...afterall, its a YC movie! But they are superficial...they aren't deep enough for a love story, where sacrifice and devotion are the main themes! The film has too much gloss and that overshadows the basic theme of the film! I don't know...maybe a few years later, I will learn to appreciate it like I learned to love Lamhe! (Okay, that is never going to happen!😆) JTHJ unlike Lamhe is a modern-love story...on paper, but the emotions in the film are regressive...old-fashioned!

But SRK does light up the screen...he really, really does! He is the best thing to have happened to JTHJ...and the only reason why the audience will buy the film and what it is trying to say, will only be because of the hearthfelt and sincere performance by SRK!

Very happy to see the reviews..!! Now really can't wait to watch it.
By the way, can anyone tell me if there is the title song 'jab tak hai jaan'(sung by Javed Ali) in the movie? Because there is no promo of this song in TV.

P.S.- Copied and pasted my comment from another thread of JTHJ as hardly anyone replied to my question.😔 So please reply.

@Soapie. No , not yet and i will not get to see it until two weeks. I am only reacting to what I have been told.That is why i said 'i believe'. 😆

Interesting POV. But whenever i see the film, i still get a strong feeling that Kunwarji always loved Pallavi and Pooja was his solace and his release from the pain of 20 years.

Please jump in. 😆... You are right and maybe SRK was right as well but it didn't come out like that in the film, na. If Tina was just a crush, how could Rahul go on loving her and living in her memory for almost 10 years? And Rahul who keeps reiterating that love and marraige are just once and it all ended with Tina does a U-turn on seeing pretty Anjali? All these 10 years , why was there no yearning , no thought for her? It was all Tina-Tina-Tina. In short, a very flawed screenplay but SRK sold it to us. 😡😆

But he does miss her. Remember that 'First thing in your mind game' Jr Anjali plays with him. Rahul is a very devoted single dad. Yet when he first hears the word 'Anjali' he remembers Anjali Sharma and not his daughter. Its not that he doesnt miss Anjali but he buries her memories as he is not able to find his best friend.
IMo thats the major problem with KJo's films. The gloss overpowers emotions. I noticed these little bits over the years watching the movie N times on TV.
