Dear Zindagi (2016)

ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FILMS OF RECENT TIMES, THE WAY THE FILM POTRAYS THE ISSUES OF A GIRL DEALING WITH HER PROFESSIONAL, FAMILY AND PERSONAL LIFE. SHAHRUKH KHAN IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE FILM AND STEALS THE COMPLETE SHOW WITH THE DEPTH AND LOVE IN HIS PERFORMANCE.ALL PERFORMANCES ARE PRETTY IMPERESSIVE. A MUST WATCH FAMILY ENTERTAINER, WITH SOME AMAZING AND SOOTHING MUSIC, THE FILM IS CLEAR WINNER ALL THE WAY.

The movie, translating roughly to Dear Life is a film about a young girl name Kaira (Alia Bhatt) who is a budding cinematographer and someone who is not very much in touch with life in its entirety.
Kaira is all of us, meaning she is someone like you and me making the character much more relatable to young adult. The movie strikingly gives a very thought provoking message. We as young adults in today's generation are so riddled with troubles surrounding us all the time we have more or less become machines of humanity, with no feelings and empathy towards anything. We all look for the right chair to lay back on, and often in the process we go through a lot of other chairs that don't necessarily appeal or provide us with the support we look for, but it does help us get our choices straight.
Dr. Jehangir Khan (Shahrukh Khan) is an unorthodox psychiatrist who changes the way we look at psychological doctors. His character is like a breath of fresh air but is very utopian.
Compared to other conventional Bollywood movies, this film goes a long step forward in changing the film industry considerably.

The movie is thought provoking and will last in your memory for a long time. Gauri Shinde has brought together the perfect star cast that is both sweet and fitting at the same time. To see Bollywood making such woman-centered movies is a revolution in itself.
