Watch Dear Zindagi For Free

Better Late Then Never

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

The story is so well written . The actor and actress are TOP notch, The Cinematography is very beautiful.

In Mumbai and Goa, Kaira (Alia Bhatt) is a promising cinematographer who wishes to direct her own films. Blunt and cynical, she is most comfortable when with her three best friends, Fatima (Ira Dubey), Jackie (Yashaswini Dayama) and Ganju (Gautmik). Kaira's life takes a downturn when Raghuvendra (Kunal Kapoor), a film producer for whom she breaks up with her childhood sweetheart, gets engaged to someone else. Her landlord turns her out of her apartment because the building association wants to rent apartments only to married couples. All this plus dissatisfaction with her prospects at work serves as a catalyst for her shift to Goa, where she now has to grudgingly live with her parents (Aban Deohans and Atul Kale) with whom she has some issues. She ends up spending many sleepless nights in unhappiness and uncertainty.While in Goa, she seeks out Dr. Jehangir "Jug" Khan (Shah Rukh Khan), a psychologist, for her insomnia, after inadvertently having heard him talk at a Mental Health Awareness Conference.

I usually get the feeling that a 14 year old girl has written the script when I watch a Bollywood movie. The idea of this movie was good, and her problem was real. Being abandoned as a child can affect you in ways you can't imagine, spoiled, mean and self-conscious are only some of them, so the movie was fine in portraying her as a selfish and bitter girl. Aalia was fine, SRK was great, but lots of other things were wrong with this movie and they cannot be ignored.For example, we're supposed to believe that she is a brilliant cinematographer while we see nothing of her brilliance even though there are lots of opportunities for them to be shown. The other one was that any guy she met would go head over heels for this girl, what was that about? One would take her to the once-in-a-lifetime- opportunity kinda job at his own risk to New York just because she's hot; the other one would write music about her even though they've just met? And the part with Pink Floyd's first album, which is so precious to me because it was the only album with Syd Barrett as the lead, was pointless and stupid, disrespecting a legend by mentioning his album outta nowhere and not even bother playing one song? And the end was unaccountable. Everyone applauding her for a below average short film, and even a disaster with someone as supposedly talented and experienced as her!!!Overall I found it worth watching, especially for SRK's performance and the only good dialogues of the film. It's not the best movie of the year, it certainly wasn't the worst; just a mediocre time passer with an interesting subject that could've been much much much better.

I bought a ticket to this movie on a whim. Knowing nothing about the premise or the actors, I went in blind with no real expectations outside of "this feels like it would be a romantic comedy." I came out of the theaters completely floored. The film was an emotional roller-coaster, in which the audience was able to commiserate with, celebrate alongside, and root for Kaira, the protagonist. The characters were solidly built, very consistent, and were a lot of fun to watch in interaction. Flashbacks were unobtrusive, and actually served the purpose of building characters out, rather than simply drawing the movie out. Cinematically stellar, purposeful, and nuanced; something that people from all cultures can enjoy. This film transcends Bollywood, and has themes of love, acceptance, support and the struggles of modern adult romance that we can all appreciate. I can comfortably say that this movie is a well crafted work, and deserves to be listed as an example for Overall, I recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys a solidly crafted romance film.
