Yash Chopra’s last labour of love is all set to release in Romania.

 Starring Shahrukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma, Jab Tak Hai Jaan will release in Romania with subtitles on October 18th, 2013.

The blockbuster film had a worldwide release on November 13th 2012 .

This benchmark release will be followed by another treat for Romanian audiences – the release of one more YRF historic blockbuster – Ek Tha Tiger. Starring Salman Khan & Katrina Kaif in lead roles, the film has been directed by Kabir Khan.

Yash Chopra’s last labour of love, Jab Tak Hai Jaan, took Doha by storm when it was screened as a part of DTFF.

Screened to a house full crowd of Indian Expats and the local Qatari community, the event started off with His Excellency and the Vice Chair for DTFF, Mr. Issa Al Mohannadi introducing a short 11 minute AV, paying a tribute to the illustrious Yash Chopra.

Handing over the award to Avtar Panesar (VP Intl. Operations, YRF) Mr. Mohannadi said, “Mr. Chopra’s contribution was not to just Indian Cinema but to Cinema anywhere in the world, and DTFF pays Homage to a man that defined and redefined love countless times in a career spanning over half a century”.

The crowd went through a sea of emotions during the screening, starting with a personal message by Shahrukh Khan, followed by the film.

They expressed their emotions through pin drop silence during the opening of the film as the voice over of Yash Chopra reciting his poem came on. Loud claps and whistles erupted on Shahrukh Khan’s entry and moist eyes on the end credit sequence coupled with a standing ovation summed up their feelings for Jab Tak Hai Jaan, reinforcing the belief that love really does make the world go around!

Jab Tak Hai Jaan is out now on general release in the UK.

Yash Raj Films has released a statement on the controversy surrounding Yash Chopra’s final film Jab Tak Hai Jaan.

“After the Competition Comission dismissed the complaint filed by Ajay Devgn Films (ADF) on the basis that they were of the opinion that there was no contravention of the Act in this case, the Competition Appellate Tribunal, in a hearing today, also refused to pass any interim order against Yash Raj Films (YRF) on the ground that the complainant had not put forward sufficient facts to establish that YRF had violated the Competition Act.

We completely refute the press release put out by ADF as the Competition Appellate Tribunal did not find any merit in the contention of ADF because the Tribunal was of the view that ADF has totally failed to establish that the agreements entered into by YRF with the single screens cinemas would cause any appreciable adverse effect on competition. It was also noted by the Tribunal that YRF had announced the release of its film on 27th June 2011 with its announcement of the release of its film for Diwali 2012 and commenced booking of single screen theatres in June, July & Aug 2012. On the contra, ADF announced the release of its film only on 29th May 2012 and approached the single screen owners only in October 2012 by which time YRF had taken a lead. It was expressly noted that the number of screens contracted for Jak Tak Hai Jaan, being far less than that of Ek Tha Tiger, prima facie no case of adverse effect on competition, much less appreciable effect on competition, was made out.

“In a free competition Ajay Devgn admits that the cine goers will decide the film that they wish to see. With both the films having opened the booking on the same day, the cine goers already seem to have expressed their verdict. Even as we go to press with this release, we are being approached by a large number of theatres with offers to screen our film.”

While Despite several media queries, YRF has maintained a strict media silence while the matter was pending before the competent judicial authorities, deeming it inappropriate to comment on the matter while it was before the judicial authorities. YRF has never desired nor manipulated such publicity.

It is unfortunate that our refusal to comment has led to aspersions being cast on YRF’s business practises, which have always been ethical and of the highest standards.

With this matter having been laid to rest for now, we would like to get back to releasing Jab Tak Hai Jaan this Diwali on the 13th of November. This is the time to celebrate a Yash Chopra Romance, which has traditionally lit up homes worldwide, during this festive season.

And Yash Raj Films’ will continue to do so, jab tak hai jaan,” said the press release.

The film starring Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma will release in UK cinemas on 13th November 2012. 

A portion of a song in Yash Chopra’s Jab Tak Hai Jaan was yet to be shot, but now will be left incomplete as the film crew has no desire to tamper with the signature style of the late filmmaker, said the film’s hero Shah Rukh Khan at a press conference in Mumbai today.

 “Just a minute and a half of the song was left. He (Chopra) wanted to do it in Switzerland. We don’t have the heart to shoot that part now. We will make it impure if we had to shoot it,”  said Khan. 

“The movie is ready for release. He (Chopra) had finished editing and the background mix was happening. The film was locked by Yash ji. The film which you will see has been entirely made by Yash Chopra,” he added.

The love story stars Katrina Kaif opposite Shah Rukh with Anushka Sharma in a supporting role and is all set to release on the November 13th, along with Ajay Devgn’s home production Son of Sardaar in UK cinemas.

Shah Rukh thinks that it is unfair to ask anyone to change their release date and therefore is fine with the simultaneous release of both the films.

“It is unfair to ask anybody to change the release date of their film. Everybody loves their films. Yash ji would have felt the same way. Films will always overlap and it is not fair for us to ask them to change it,” he said.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan is set to break records at the UK Box Office from 13th November 2012.
