A movie that aims to bridge the distance in
the hearts of Indians and Pakistanis, Veer Zaara tells the story of
squadron leader Veer Pratap Singh (Shahrukh), a rescue pilot with the Indian Air
Force. He is a humble man who gives without asking, who loves unconditionally
and keeps no prejudice in his heart.
One day, while on duty, Veer meets Zaara
Hayaat Khan (Preity), daughter of a Pakistani politician who has come to India
to fulfill her surrogate mother's death wish. Zaara is stranded because of a bus
accident and Veer, true to his nature, helps her. The time Veer and Zaara spend
together forms an unshakable bond between them, a bond that flowers into pure
love.But destiny had something else in store for Veer and Zaara.
Twenty-two years later, Veer is a man languishing in Pakistani jails for more
than two decades. All this time he has not spoken a word and spent months and
years in a dazed state, lost in his memories. Saamiya Siddiqui (Rani), a
Pakistani lawyer is given Veer’s case. Saamiya is an idealist whose mission in
life is to uphold justice and fight for women's empowerment. Veer’s case is her
first one, and has been purposely given to her to dissuade her from being
successful.
Veer’s case is by no degrees an easy case. A man who hasn’t uttered a word for
more than twenty years and she has to fight for him. Saamiya takes her time with
Veer and slowly he responds. And when she comes to know his story, she is so
deeply moved that she decides to fight for his justice against all odds...
