In the line of duty he comes across a stranded Zaara (Preity Zinta) - a girl from Pakistan who has come to India to fulfill her surrogate mothers dying wish.

VEER-ZAARA (2004, Hindi, 192 minutes) Directed by Yash Chopra Produced by Yash Raj Films, Ltd. We soon meet our heroine-to-be, Zaara Hayaat Khan (Preity Zinta), only child of one of Pakistan’s leading (and apparently more liberal and progressive) politicians. Though she is engaged to be married to the scion of another prominent family in a convenience match that reflects the ambitions of both clans, Zaara gets an “establishing song” ( Hum to bhai jaise hain, “I will stay just the way I am!”), that informs us of her spirited and independent nature (and also recalls Kajol’s opening number in the Chopra-produced Dilwale; Veer’s equivalent song, by the way, was the carefree and romantic Kyon hawa, “Why is the wind singing today?,” which accompanied the credits and visually recalled Bholi si surat in Chopra’s Dil To Pagal Hai). Incidentally, Yash-ji apparently remains addicted to using Lata Mangeshkar for the singing voice of his heroines, despite the incongruity of a now obviously aging and husky voice being lip-synched by perky twenty-somethings; given the overall structure of his plot, however, this requires but a relatively small additional suspension of disbelief. Zaara, who lives in an Indo-Saracenic mansion that makes Meena Kumari’s “rose palace” in PAKEEZAH look like a gilded birdcage, is doted on by her parents but is herself devoted to her aged nanny Bebe (a cameo by ultra-veteran Zohra Sehgal), a Sikh orphan who accompanied the family to Pakistan at the time of Partition.

In case anyone supposes that Pakistan is less than fully hospitable to Sikhs, we see Zaara accompanying Bebe to a lavish Lahore Gurudwara, bowing respectfully before the Guru Granth Sahib (the Sikh scripture), and bringing amrit (holy water) from the temple when Bebe lays dying beneath a framed portrait of Guru Nanak. Before passing away, however, Bebe extracts a promise from Zaara to bring her ashes back to India, to immerse them in the sacred waters of her native place in Punjab. This occasions an impulsive trip by Zaara, without parental permission and only days before her planned marriage, to the Other Side; a convenient bus accident enroute (it looks bad, but a cheery voiceover informs us that no one was seriously hurt) allows the dashing Veer to rescue both Zaara and the precious cargo she bears. After an initial misunderstanding, he becomes her guide to (what is evidently) the Promised Land: a multi-religious Punjab that looks even more idyllic than it did in DDLJ (complete with a bhangra-dancing cameo by famed Punjabi singer Gurdas Man) and that is celebrated in the rousing patriotic anthem Aisa des hai mera (“Thus is my land”)—though the final verse adds “Thus is your land too,” suggesting the unity of Punjabis on both sides of the border. Visually, the song’s portrayal of a rural paradise nods at Mehboob Khan’s MOTHER INDIA, and its final shots of color-saturated tracts of flowers also evoke the famous tulip-field sequence in Chopra’s SILSILA. Her sacred task tearfully accomplished, Zaara accepts Veer’s invitation to visit his own village, which turns out to be another happy rustic republic, presided over by Bauji and Maati (in wonderful cameos by Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini, speaking Hindi-ized Punjabi), the aunt and uncle who raised the orphan Veer.
