Jab Tak Hai Jaan: Meera
By: Gabriela Yareliz NOTE: This is a character and movie analysis so: Spoiler Alert. Yash Chopra made his last film a deeply religious one. I don’t know if this reflects a belief he had close to the time of his death, or a philosophy or vision of God questioned or clung to. Perhaps it wasContinue reading “Jab Tak Hai Jaan: Meera”
