Dear Zindagi


Dear Zindagi deals with a 20s something aspiring cinematographer Kaira played by Alia Bhatt and her journey as she tries to deal with her professional and personal commitments. Her mistakes and her regrets eventually leads to a breakdown of sorts that results in her contacting a therapist, the Demak kha doctor - DD played by Shah Rukh Khan. Her encounter with Jug, an unconventional thinker, helps her gain a new perspective on life. She discovers that happiness is all about finding comfort in life's imperfections.

She is good at her work, but not getting that big break. Even her relationships in life – be it her parents or the men in her life are screwed up thanks to her own apprehensions.However when things get too much for her delicate mind to handle, she decides to consult a therapist.

Is finding the right partner in life similar to finding the right chair? That was interesting. If we go by Jug’s earlier theory, the chair only creaks when you are confused about love, then that means he is confused about his feelings for his last patient. So has Jug started falling for his much younger patient?

This is an Alia Bhatt movie, through and through.If you were awed by her performance in Udta Punjab, be prepared to be blown away by her sheer anguish here.
