Dear Zindagi : Reviews

Four years after her much-appreciated debut with English Vinglish, filmmaker Gauri Shinde is back with another female protagonist-centred story that aims to unsettle cliches in our judgemental society - Dear Zindagi. Kaira (Alia) is an unconventional photographer and uses the situation to her advantage to deliver the results.Dr Jehangir Khan (played by Shah Rukh), an excellent therapist, who helps her to overcome the internal problems.
When we meet Kaira aka Koko (Alia Bhatt) in Dear Zindagi first, she is working on a set. Looking at the world through a lens, constructing pretty images. We know, from her smile, and from the appreciative comments of her co-workers, that she is good at what she does.
Starring Alia Bhatt as the lead and Shah Rukh Khan as her psychiatrist, Dear Zindagi is about Kaira (Alia) - an aspiring cinematographer who does small ads and projects but wants to shoot an entire feature film. The introductory sequence - with Kaira’s confident banter and hands-on body language - assures us that she is truly talented and knows her job well. However, when she is offered a big break in a feature film, she is not sure if it is because of her talent or because one of the co-producers finds her hot. This co-producer,Raghavendra (Kunal Kapoor), is also the one with whom Kaira is cheating on her current love, Sid (Angad Bedi).

Soon, we get to know Kaira and her problems - a career woman who isn’t sure whether she should thank her talent or looks for the opportunities and one who is dealing with a heart break after a guy ditched her for another girl. Rendered homeless after her landlord asks her to vacate because “she is single”, she decides to move to her home town, Goa. Since she shares a rather tense relationship with her parents, it makes her all the more sad at the thought of living with them. Sounds relatable. To deal with it all, Kaira decides to meet a ‘dimag ka doctor aka DD’.
Enter Shah Rukh Khan and the frame lights up with his charm and charisma. Shah Rukh’s psychiatrist is caring, charming and witty. The movie then traces Kaira’s sessions with Dr Jehangir Khan aka Jug who doles out gyan on life, handling relationship, dealing with one’s feelings, staying happy and much more. With a solid plotline backing the film, it could have been as inspiring and engaging a tale as Gauri’s debut (Sridevi-starrer English Vinglish) but falls way behind.

There is a lot of banter in the film that is supposed to be deep and philosophical but is really just plain, hollow banter.Shah Rukh Khan brings his experience and charm to the role and makes Jug memorable with his wits.The screenplay and dialogues, however, stop the film from being magnificent. Another point that really didn’t work comes when Kaira needs yet another romantic relationship to lean upon, despite the entire film doling gyan on how romance isn’t the be-all and end-all in life.

Trailer of Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees is finally releasing

Shah Rukh Khan starrer Raees‘ first teaser was launched more than an year back. Since then that movie is one of the most awaited film of not just Shah Rukh Khan but as far Indian films in general are concerned. As the film is slated to release on Republic Day 2017, fans and followers are losing their mind over its trailer release. Earlier there were reports that the film’s trailer will be launched with Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, but that didn’t happen instead we got to witness the trailers of Aamir Khan’s Dangal and Hrithik Roshan’s Kaabil. Then later it was reported to be Shah Rukh Khan’s Birthday i.e November 2 but that didn’t happen either. Now finally the producer of the film Ritesh Sidhwani has tweeted something which acts as a ray of hope for all those fans. He tweeted, “#RaeesTrailer date time place official announcement coming soon.. stay tuned for next 48 hours..luv”. This single tweet itself has created a frenzy of sorts on Twitter with “Raees Trailer Coming Soon” trending at the top.

No, it’s not attached to Dear Zindagi as is being reported. The superstar dismisses the news reports saying, “It’s not coming out with Dear Zindagi for sure. I read somewhere about this news and no, it’s not true at all.” Not to forget Shah Rukh Khan’s next Dear Zindagi is releasing on November 25 in India.Now the next forty eight hours are gonna be very anxious for all the fans and followers. And going by the excitement among fans for that film it might turn out be the biggest film in the glorious career of Shah Rukh Khan. We can’t wait to witness “Baniye Ka Dimaag and Miyan Bhai Ki Daring”. One thing’s for sure, makers know too well how to tease fans.
The film stars Shah Rukh Khan in and as Raees. The film also stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Mahira Khan and Mohd. Zeeshan Ayyub. Directed by Parzania and Lamha fame Rahul Dholakia and produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani.
