Jab Tak Hai Jaan: Boy meets girl. An almost love triangle. Retrograde amnesia. Happy ending. Beautiful locales, haunting background score
Son of Sardaar: Remake of a south Indian hit. A house full of sardaars. Family feud sorted after years. Exaggerated action, frontbencher
music
Five minutes into the film
Jab Tak Hai Jaan: You catch your breath. Leh can leave you speechless
Son of Sardaar: Takes you back to Daler Mehndi’s Bolo ta-ra-ra-ra days
Surprise factor
Jab Tak Hai Jaan: Neetu and Rishi Kapoor. In a vineyard. Sigh
Son of Sardaar: Salman Khan. Dance to Aaoji Bauji. ’Nuff said
Say whaa...aaat?
Jab Tak Hai Jaan: Even if you’re challenging death, why would you defuse a bomb without any protective gear?
Son of Sardaar: Tanuja attempting Punjabi. You’d fall off your seat laughing. And holding your tummy
Kind of people in the hall
Jab Tak Hai Jaan: Love story lovers, sob story lovers. Those who love happy endings
Son of Sardaar: Those who stand on their seats and dance; Poor cousins of Rohit Shetty
What you take back with you
Jab Tak Hai Jaan: Closing credits. When you see the King of Romance capturing the Badshah
Son of Sardaar: Sonakshi’s thumkas. She ought to get to talk more, you know. Really.
