After 3 Idiots this is the far best movie i have ever watched of Bollywood industry what a story. The writer deserves an Oscar. SRK nailed it this is his career one of the best movie because he did not act he just produced a role, hats off. Wish they can produce more movies like this.

In a nutshell, DEAR ZINDAGI was much ado about nothing. I regretted buying the DVD. What a let down especially for a Shahrukh Khan film.First the plus points: Alia Bhatt acted very well. I wonder if she is like that in real life! Shahrukh Khan acted his usual superb way, he really is a class actor, if anything he was the saving grace for this feeble plot. Goa was depicted as the pretty and picturesque place that it certainly is. The cinematography was good.Now for the bad bit: What really failed was the plot which went on and on and on and on to the point of boredom. There was no need to drag the story out to such an extent.The story also does not really connect, and would in fact connect only with a small metropolitan audience. To begin with, millions of Indians are migrant workers domestically and in the Gulf, so as to provide their families with a better standard of living. They all leave their families behind, often for years. Those left behind kids do not have the luxury of suffering from anxiety syndrome and personality disorders as depicted for Alia Bhatt. Those kids do not have the luxury of seeking a therapist. Those kids just have to get on with life and make the best of it. In all probability those kids do not even think that they have a personality disorder just because their parents left them behind to earn a better living!To summarise, this was a boring film that could have been made much shorter.

I mean the movie was really good I understood 100%, Alia could had worked better on her emotional scenes towards the end when she was leaving Dr Jehangir 's house she looked absolutely pathetic as if her laughter was going to come out...lol im sure everybody must had noticed that, and the other bit was when Alia Bhatt falls over the sofa, and Shahrukh Khan didn't here the bang and looks left right when she falls right in front him...you can clearly tell Shahrukh khan was acting which these things spoil it for me, might not for everyone...but i can seriously say I really enjoyed the movie...I mean kajols mona brow and Alia Bhatt's hairy side burns, I was like is this for real do hairy Mary's still exist in bollywood...lol lol i mean Alia Bhatt's side burns was more than her male Co stars, has the trend of waxing threading and laser finished in bollywood... Anyhow I enjoyed the movie very much...but can not really praise anyone's acting individually cause I saw a lot of flaws In the actors ability especially Alia even though she was still good, but the singer Ali Zafar's acting shines out the rest...
