Here lies the movie’s beauty – Kaira isn’t here to prop up some man’s story, she’s a rare and fully fleshed out female character taking the screen by storm. ![]() And rather than boxing her into a cut-and-dry ‘bad’ girl (our patriarchal society would have more choice words for it), the film reveals eventually that Kaira’s flitting between relationships actually comes from childhood trauma. Instantly, she’s a flawed character, as opposed to the squeaky clean women we see on screen. The scene that grounds Kaira as a compelling character is when she tells her boyfriend that she’s had a fling behind his back. But she’s not getting the break that she needs professionally and with break-ups and fights within the family making things more complicated, it is clear she’s not doing too well on the emotional front either. She’s looking at life through her camera lens – a nice symbolic shot of her world view – and she is clearly good at her job. We’re first introduced to Alia’s Kaira or Koko at her workplace. ![]() Here’s why a movie that could have made history, fell just short of that. But will it go down as either actors’ best film? It had the opportunity to do just that, courtesy the script, but sadly, with stretched scenes and heavy monologues, Dear Zindagi has limited appeal and will end up as a one-time watch. Dear Zindagi movie review: With Shahrukh Khan and Alia Bhatt lighting up Dear Zindagi with their immense talent, there’s no doubt that the film’s worth a watch.
