Dear Zindagi (2016)

i must have seen a different film!!

Crappy film

A different way of telling a story

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Stupid movie, don't waste your time. If this movie is truly 7.9*, Bollywood standards and audience expectation has definitely gone low. SRK come too late in movie, by that time Ali Bhatt make sure you that you already gonna hate this movie. Ali Bhatt broke all ceiling of over acting.

I tried to watch it but it was so slow and ordinary that I just had to stop it. My review is based on those 25 dreadful minutes. I will update this review if ever I watch more and if anything changes(I seriously think I won't).Recommendation : Do not watch.

Gauri Shinde's 'English Vinglish' was way better than Dear Zindagi. Yet Dear Zindagi is a good movie not because of the story or the screenplay but due to the stellar performance of Alia Bhatt. She compensates for the weaknesses of the movie. The topic of the movie is quite unique which may be the biggest plus point that this movie has. Also, it is to see that SRK has accepted this role and considered to play the supporting actor because he seems to be perfect for the role of Jahangir Khan and I expect to see the same old SRK- the actor more in the future. One of the things that I disliked about this movie is the editing. The movie could have easily shortened by 10-15 minutes. The therapy sessions between Kaira and Jag are good but at times Jag seems to be quite preachy. This movie is not for everyone. If you love entertaining masala movies stay away from this movie. Mental Stress is a major issue today and it is a good thing that Gauri Shinde has tried to highlight this issue in this movie. Overall this is not a flawless movie but still is a good one.

With all the high expectations I watched Dear Zindagi and here's how it went. Let's put it straight. The movie was going nowhere in the very first hour. It felt like a plot less and boring one. Throughout the film even SRK was a co- actor I felt like that Alia was under-shadowed by him. He was, as always actually brilliant. Alia wasn't so devoted to the character she was playing. She failed to pervade herself into Kaira. But then the twist took place. I cannot remember when I watched a film soothing as this in my recent past. It was so appeasing and will gladden your mind.
