Dil Bechara

“Dil Bechara” movie based on the novel by John Green which was also adopted into a movie by name ‘The Fault in our Stars’. Most of the people are watching and remembering this movie just because it is last known movie in which our beloved Sushant Singh Rajput has made his onscreen presence. But the movie itself is pure class and takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride.

 

The movie is told from the point of view of Kizzie Basu (played by Sanjana Sanghvi) who is struggling with thyroid cancer and has very few friends to boast off. The actual fun begins when we see Manny (played by Sushant Singh Rajput) dancing to the tune of title song. The moves leave you in awe and the song itself is master piece composed by our very own A.R.Rahman. The whole song was done in a single take and damn Sushant is amazing.

 

Manny is a lively personality who believes in living life to the fullest despite the inevitable circumstances facing death. The chemistry between Manny and Kizzie is superb and you admire the way two banter and how that turns into love. The little moments of flirting, romance and selfless care dramatically folds you and you are left in tears by the end. You admire the way Manny does everything to fulfill one dream of Kizzie despite all the odds. That’s what life is all about – what difference you can make in others life. The short span of happiness soon turns into sorrow as both are found struggling to stay alive with cancer.

 

Sushant as Manny is a performance you will remember for a long long time. Dialogues, acting and powerful dance moves all compliment his lovely smile. Would have been great if he could hear all the praise he is getting and the difference he has made with his short but fruitful career on this Bollywood world.

 

Sanjana Sanghvi compliments well and she surely has a great future ahead. A perfect blend of beauty with acting. Sahil Vaid as Manny’s friend is great and equally comical. Saif Ali Khan has played a small yet a role which gives a valuable lesson. Mukhesh Chhabra has been sublime with his direction and casting – Sushant being the proof. The songs are damn good and each song has a different persona and charm with ‘Dil Bechara’ title track and ‘Main Tumhara’ being the best. The dialogues are one of the best you have come through in recent times.

 

The movie is of short duration and the emotional impact is a lot to take. Few scenes are worth remembering like the ones where Manny is listening to his own Eulogy. The movie if released in theatres would have created havoc. The movie is sure to leave you in tears and the fact that Sushant is no more with us impacts you more. A star was lost too soon.

 

The movie is streaming free on Hotstar and a great gesture by them to make it available to everyone in memory of Sushant Singh Rajput. Grab you popcorn and tissues as well, because this one is sure to touch your heart and soul like no other movie.
