Jab Tak Hai Jaan

Jab Tak Hai Jaan (transl. As Long as I Live) is a 2012 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama film directed by Yash Chopra, co-written and produced by Aditya Chopra under the Yash Raj Films banner. The film stars Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif, and Anushka Sharma in lead roles. The narrative follows Samar Anand, a bomb disposal expert in the Indian Army, whose diary is discovered by documentary filmmaker Akira Rai. Through its pages, Akira learns about Samar’s earlier life in London and his intense romance with Meera Thappar, which ended under tragic circumstances.

The film marked Chopra’s return to directing after Veer-Zaara (2004), and was his final directorial venture before his death in October 2012. It also marked the fourth collaboration between Chopra and Khan, and the first between Khan and Kaif. Sharma and Khan reunited after their earlier work in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008). Principal photography took place across London, Ladakh, and Kashmir, with cinematography by Anil Mehta and music composed by A. R. Rahman, with lyrics by Gulzar.

Released theatrically on 13 November 2012 during the Diwali weekend, Jab Tak Hai Jaan received positive reviews from critics, who praised Chopra’s direction and the performances of Khan and Sharma, while noting the film's conventional storyline. It emerged as one of the highest-grossing Indian films of the year, earning ₹235.66 crore (US$28 million) worldwide, and became the third highest-grossing Hindi film overseas at the time, following 3 Idiots (2009) and My Name Is Khan (2010).

At the 58th Filmfare Awards, the film received seven nominations, including Best Actor (Khan), and won four awards, including Best Supporting Actress (Sharma) and Best Lyricist (Gulzar for "Challa").
