Jab Tak Hai Jaan

 Jab Tak Hai Jaan (English: As Long as I Live) is a 2012 Indian romantic drama film directed by Yash Chopra and written and produced by Aditya Chopra under their production banner, Yash Raj Films. It features Shahrukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma in lead roles; this is the first collaboration between Khan and Kaif, and the second between Khan and Sharma (they previously featured in the 2008 film Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi). Yash Chopra returned to directing eight years after Veer-Zaara and it was his final film before his death on 21 October 2012. The background score and soundtrack was composed by A.R. Rahman, while the lyrics were written by Gulzar.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan tells the story of Akira Rai (Sharma), a curious Discovery Channel intern, who finds the diary of a bomb-disposal expert, Samar Anand (Khan), which recounts his days as a struggling immigrant in London, and his romance with Meera Thapar (Kaif). The film was released during the six-day Diwali weekend beginning on 13 November 2012. It received positive-to-mixed reviews from critics in India and positive reviews abroad. It opened well at the box office, and Box Office India declared the film a "hit" in India and a "blockbuster" overseas. Jab Tak Hai Jaan emerged as the fifth-highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time overseas, after Dhoom 3 (2013), 3 Idiots (2009), My Name Is Khan (2010) and Chennai Express (2013).

The film was praised for its direction, cinematography and the chemistry between the lead actors; Khan and Sharma were appreciated for their performances, although the predictable plot was criticised. At the end of its theatrical run Jab Tak Hai Jaan received a number of awards, including four Filmfare Awards, which included trophies for Best Supporting Actress (Sharma) and Best Lyrics for Gulzar.
