Dear Zindagi Movie Review

Feisty Alia, one of the better actors of the current generation, turns in a nicely nuanced performance. And SRK in his sober-avatar possessing infinite gyaan tempts you to seek out a therapist. If you�re in the mood to do some soul-searching this weekend, this film could do it for you.(more)

Alia Bhatt, Shah Rukh Khan film offers bumper-sticker self-help

Given the potential of the theme�growing up pains, and walking past the past� and the attractive leads (both Bhatt and Khan work well together, she with her gamine grin which falters when she remembers something troubling, and he with his twinkly come-to-me-and-it-will-all-get-better vibe, making su...(more)

SRK and Alia are to watch out for

"Genius is about knowing when to stop," says Jug in one of the film's best scenes. Maybe Gauri Shinde should have taken his advice and stopped before Dear Zindagi began taking a toll on people's patience. Watch the film for Alia Bhatt and Shah Rukh Khan. It's an emotional joyride which won't harm y...(more)

Shah Rukh Khan, Alia Bhatt's Film Is Superbly Acted

Dear Zindagi pulls at the heartstrings. It is also loaded with genteel humour. But what works above all is that the pop philosophy/psychology that underlines the drama at the film's core isn't the least bit pulpy. Recommended without reservation.(more)

Dear Zindagi is a wonderful, self-assured gem

Dear Zindagi is a lovely picture, made with finesse and heart, and one that not only takes some stigma off the idea of seeking therapy, but -- in the most natural of ways -- goes a long way in making a viewer think of the people who matter most. The single smartest trick in this film, however, ma...(more)

Alia Bhatt gives her best performance while Shah Rukh Khan blows you away with his charm

Dear Zindagi will definitely appeal to you if you love slice of life film. A little bit of trimming here and there would have been good, and it is not a typical Bollywood movie. However that shouldn�t stop you from not witnessing one of Alia�s best performances and SRK being his charming best(more)
