==Plot==

Samar Anand, a major in the [[Indian Army]], defuses a bomb without fear or regard for his safety. Akira Rai, a [[Discovery Channel]] filmmaker, later dives into a river in [[Ladakh]] and is rescued by him. Samar gives her his jacket and leaves before retrieving it. Akira finds his diary in the jacket pocket and begins reading.

The diary recounts Samar's earlier years as a struggling immigrant in [[London]], working as a [[Street performance|street musician]] who performs other menial jobs to support himself and his roommate Zain. Samar is working part-time as a waiter when he meets Meera at her and her fiancé Roger's engagement party. Meera grew up, motherless, in an affluent Punjabi Indian family; her mother left for another man when she was twelve. The dominant person in her life is her father, for whose company she works. Samar notices that Meera often prays when he sees her at the church. Samar and Meera befriend one another but Meera promises her God not to fall in love with samar and tells samar about it. As time passes by Samar and Meera begin to fall in love after a night of wild street dancing. To face her past, Samar takes Meera to visit her estranged mother and they reconcile. Some days later Meera decides to confess to her father about her relationship with Samar and break her engagement, Samar has a serious accident on his motorbike. Meera makes a deal with her god that because she broke her promise, she will never see him again but prays to save his life. Samar recovers and Meera admits her vow to him. Angry, he leaves her and London. Samar challenges God to keep him alive while he risks his life every day because he believes his death is the only way to make Meera lose her faith in God. He goes to India and enlists in the army, becoming a [[Bomb disposal|bomb-disposal]] expert.

When Akira finishes reading the diary, she obtains permission to make a documentary about a bomb-disposal squad. She asks Samar for help to make her film and becomes acquainted with him and his team. Akira develops a crush on Samar; however, he does not reciprocate because of his unresolved love for Meera. Akira makes a successful film and leaves for London. She wants Samar to visit the city to help her publicise the film; after he reluctantly agrees to come to London, he is struck by a bus.

Samar is diagnosed with [[retrograde amnesia]], and he remembers only the events before his first accident that took place in London 10 years ago. Concerned, Akira tracks Meera down and persuades her to aid in Samar's recovery. Meera agrees, pretending to be Samar's wife. In the meantime, Akira realises that Major Samar is only a fragment of the young Samar; he used to be happy and sociable but is now bitter and lonely. One day Samar finds a bomb planted in the [[London Underground]] and helps defuse it. The event jogs his memory, and he realises that Meera was lying to him. Samar confronts Meera with a choice: to be with him, or see him keep risking his life until he is dead. He then leaves for [[Kashmir]], where he continues defusing bombs. During a conversation with Akira, Meera tells her that she never married her fiancé and realises that her beliefs and prayers subjected Samar to a fate worse than death; and god only wants his people to be happy and spread love, he won't snatch his people's loved ones due to a broken promise or deal. Meera bids farewell to Akira and goes to Kashmir and to reunite with Samar. Samar defuses his last bomb and then proposes to her.

=== Development ===
In June 2011, Yash Raj Films released a statement announcing a new directorial venture by [[Yash Chopra]] coinciding with the 50th anniversary of his Bollywood career. The producers also announced that the film would be released during the [[Diwali]]{{efn|Diwali is a five-day Hindu festival which falls between mid-October and mid-November.}} 2012 weekend.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.yashrajfilms.com/Movies/MovieIndividual.aspx?MovieID=7ad18bc3-20ab-4159-be21-a88eeb0de670|title=Jab Tak Hai Jaan|publisher=[[Yash Raj Films]]|access-date=9 January 2012|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111230030742/http://www.yashrajfilms.com/Movies/MovieIndividual.aspx?MovieID=7ad18bc3-20ab-4159-be21-a88eeb0de670|archive-date=30 December 2011}}</ref> Chopra said the film was untitled at that time, similar to previous project ''[[Veer-Zaara]]'' (which was named on the day of its submission to the [[Central Board of Film Certification]]).<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1111219/jsp/entertainment/story_14899703.jsp |title='I'm nervous, tense, scared' |work=[[The Telegraph (Calcutta)|The Telegraph India]] |date=19 December 2011 |access-date=10 January 2012 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120117060541/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1111219/jsp/entertainment/story_14899703.jsp |archive-date=17 January 2012}}</ref> The producers considered a number of titles but were not satisfied with any of them. In September 2012, it was announced that the title of the film was ''Jab Tak Hai Jaan''. It was inspired by a similarly titled song from the 1975 film, ''[[Sholay]]''.<ref>{{cite news|title=Yash Chopra's Next Starring SRK Titled 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan'|url=http://businessofcinema.com/news/yash-chopras-starring-srk-titled-jab-tak-hai-jaan/50343 |newspaper=Business of Cinema |agency=Indo-Asian News Service |date=11 September 2012 |access-date=11 September 2012 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120913213950/http://businessofcinema.com/news/yash-chopras-starring-srk-titled-jab-tak-hai-jaan/50343 |archive-date=13 September 2012}}</ref>

[[Aditya Chopra]] wanted his father, Yash Chopra, to make another film and approached him with the concept for ''Jab Tak Hai Jaan''. Shah Rukh Khan was their first choice for the role of Samar Anand, due to his long-standing relationship with the production house and the Chopra family. Khan, who was working on other projects at that time, was unavailable for the shooting schedule so it was changed. As in his previous productions, Yash Chopra wanted to introduce a fresh pairing in ''Jab Tak Hai Jaan'' and chose Katrina Kaif to star with Khan. Anushka Sharma was cast in a supporting role to complete her three-film contract with Yash Raj Films, with whom she had worked on many previous projects.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/2011/jun/280611-informer-2.htm|title=Yash Chopra's next to have Katrina, Anushka opposite SRK|newspaper=[[Mid-Day]]|date=28 June 2011|access-date=9 January 2012|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111227013850/http://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/2011/jun/280611-informer-2.htm|archive-date=27 December 2011}}</ref> Though casting was quickly completed, shooting was delayed because the lead actors were busy with other projects.<ref name="filming">{{cite news|url=http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/shah-rukh-khan-katrina-film-yash-raj-chopra/1/167836.html|title=First SRK-Kat film to go on floors today|publisher=[[India Today]]|access-date=9 January 2012|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120109045132/http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/shah-rukh-khan-katrina-film-yash-raj-chopra/1/167836.html|archive-date=9 January 2012}}</ref>

Khan's role spans two ages: one (age 28) as a London-based street musician and the other (ten years later) as an introverted, composed and dutiful army officer in [[Kashmir]]. In an interview, Khan revealed details about his character: Samar is "angry, unforgiving, with loads of emotional baggage. I play him sweet when he needs to be. Actually, he is a lot like I am. Samar is a combination of angst, tenderness, anger, and yeah, he's pretty unforgiving."<ref name="srkintv">{{cite news|last=Singh|first=Harneet|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/news/screen-exclusive--love-me-tender-shah-rukh-khan/1025796/0|title=Screen exclusive!

The film's [[principal photography]] was expected to begin in November 2011 but was delayed because Khan wanted to take a break after his two previous films, ''[[Ra.One]]'' and ''[[Don 2]]''.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-08-23/news-interviews/29917987_1_yash-chopra-shah-rukh-khan-raone-and-don |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120707063205/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-08-23/news-interviews/29917987_1_yash-chopra-shah-rukh-khan-raone-and-don |url-status=dead |archive-date=7 July 2012 |title=Shah Rukh Khan postpones Yash Chopra's film|newspaper=[[The Times of India]]|date=23 August 2011|access-date=9 January 2012}}</ref> Principal photography began on 9 January 2012 at [[Yash Raj Studios]] in [[Mumbai]], where a significant part of was shot.<ref name="filming"/>

===Controversy===
Two weeks before ''Jab Tak Hai Jaan'''s release, [[Ajay Devgn FFilms]] sent a notice to the Competition Commission of India accusing Yash Raj Films of [[monopolistic]] business practices; the notice contended that they used "their dominant position in the Bollywood film market" to secure many desirable single-screen theatres for their release.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-interviews/Ajay-Devgn-sends-legal-notice-to-YRF/articleshow/17032584.cms|title=Ajay Devgn sends legal notice to YRF|newspaper=[[The Times of India]]|date=31 October 2012|access-date=31 October 2012|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121031214747/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-interviews/Ajay-Devgn-sends-legal-notice-to-YRF/articleshow/17032584.cms|archive-date=31 October 2012}}</ref> Yash Raj Films responded by saying that they were "shocked" and questioned Devgn's "motives". The studio denied Devgn's claim that high-quality single-screens were unavailable, pointing out that they had only booked 1,500 single-screens for ''Jab Tak Hai Jaan'' out of the 10,500 available in India.<ref name=scree>{{cite news|last=Tujeta|first=Joginder|url=http://www.twitlonger.com/show/jrpulc|title=For those asking, YRF confirms that this is indeed their *official statement* on Ajay's court notice on SOS v/s JTHJ|publisher=[[Twitter]]|date=1 November 2012|access-date=1 November 2012|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121103213935/http://www.twitlonger.com/show/jrpulc|archive-date=3 November 2012}}</ref> After the rebuttal by Yash Raj Films, Devgn said he only managed to book 600 single-screens for ''[[Son of Sardaar]]'' and would take legal action if not allotted more.
