'Dear Zindagi' is fantastic, but only in parts and is lethargic in most.
Gauri Shindi's debut film 'English Vinglish' was a fantastic film and thus one did expect 'Dear Zindagi' to be on those lines. 'Just Go To Hell Dil', 'Love You Zindagi' and ‘Tu Hi Hai’ are soul touching. Every frame and every scene, especially of south Goa looks fantastic on the big screen.Music by Amit Trivedi is refreshing. The cinematography of this movie is of top notch. If only the writing in the entire film would have been this connecting the end result would have been much better.
This scene portrays the finest acting skill of Alia Bhatt. The second half is way better and more interesting than the dull and boring first half.Right from Shahrukh's entry speech to his therapy sessions with Alia very scene involving them are the best thing to happen in this tedious film.Though the best scene of the film is when Alia talks about her childhood tragedy involving her letters to her parents. His track enlightens the film and gives us some wonderful scenes in the film. The movie only picks up just before the interval at the arrival of Shahrukh Khan. In the initial phase of the film, there are few good scenes involving the relationship status of Alia Bhatt. Out there she meets a physiatrist Jehangir Khan (Shahrukh Khan) and starts following his therapies so that she can lead a normal and peaceful life. She moves back to her parents in Goa for a short time. Things get complicated and Kaira has to deal with the low phase in his personal and professional life. 'Dear Zindagi' is a story of a young cinematographer Kaira (Alia Bhatt), who breaks up with her current boyfriend Sid (Angad Bedi) and is ready to move into another relationship with Raghuvendra (Kunal Kapoor). The big names associated with this movie along with the past work of its crew and the fantastic trailer make it among the highly awaited films of this year. These talented actors team up in Gauri Shinde's latest film ‘Dear Zindagi’. Similarly, Shahrukh Khan,despite of being one of India's biggest superstar has been loved my many for his path-breaking performance in films like 'Chak De India' and 'Swades'. She has excelled as an actor by showcasing her fine talent in many films. Alia Bhatt might have made blunders in one of her T.V chat shows, but has always passed out with flying colours when it comes to the selection of good films.
