From the Pakistani prison cell of Veer, who is prisoner since 22 years, and with the help of an idealistic Pakistani lawyer, whose mission in life is to pave the path for women's empowerment, we discover the drama of a legendary love between an Indian man and a Pakistani woman. This film, from the director, and prolific producer Yash Chopra, is an ode to the Punjabi identity. It is also an ode to many Bollywood movies that contain that impossible dream which we want to believe that it will come true. The famous playback singer Lata Mageshkar sings in most of the songs of Veer-Zaara.
