It’s not often you see a sexually liberated, commitment-phobic, parent-averse female character in a Hindi film. Freeing herself of both relationships, she heads to Goa and gets tangled up in equally fraught tug-of-war with her overly concerned parents. In the film’s opening stretch, which unfolds in Mumbai, we find out that Kaira’s cheating on her boyfriend, Sid (Angad Bedi), with a colleague, Raghu (Kunal Kapoor), who loves her but whom she keeps at arm’s length. It’s a small blow, but the thousands of people seeking psychiatric help across India will probably be grateful for a film that articulates these very basic truths.ĭear Zindagi takes its time depositing its protagonist on the couch.
In a more heated moment, she asks her family why it’s acceptable to say that you’re visiting a doctor but not a mental health specialist. Over Skype, she tells her worried house help to think of Jug as a dimaag ka doctor, one you can tell your problems to. Kaira isn’t seeking help because she’s depressed or is hearing voices-she’s just having trouble sleeping. Alia, in her answering tweet, urged her ' Khaala' to watch Dear Zindagi, saying she'd "love, love to hear (her) I have yet to watch it but has been gobsmacked by your performance in Dear Zindagi.One of the heartening things about Gauri Shinde’s film-her second after the well-received English Vinglish in 2012-is its insistence that seeing a shrink isn’t something out of the ordinary. Shabana Azmi tweeted on behalf of her husband Javed Akhtar. love the way u tell 'em!

Sridevi, who was the star of Dear Zindagi director Gauri Shinde's first film English Vinglish, said that Alia is like 'magic onscreen:' But there's only one Shah Rukh Khan, remember? Dear Zindagi, why so cruel? The verdict on Twitter: every one wants to go to therapy in the hope of finding their very own Jehangir. Shah Rukh Khan, 51, plays life coach Jehangir or Jug to Alia Bhatt, 23, helping her character Kaira navigate boyfriend trouble. Those who tweeted included Sushant Singh Rajput, Dia Mirza and Aditi Rao Hydari. Dear Zindagi is already a hit with celebrities. Shah Rukh Khan and Alia Bhatt, co-stars of Dear Zindagi, spent part of Thursday responding to tweets from colleagues who have watched their film (Bollywood gets a preview in advance, of course).
