Review of Dear Zindagi

The first hour of the movie is a little jagged. Alia is shown as an effortless cinematographer who chases success, parties wildly and jumps from one boyfriend to another. Deep down she has issues. Cut to the time Shahrukh (SRK) walks in as the shrink and the movie really comes alive. Alia too really comes into her own then and actually outshines SRK. Their interactions are the heart of the movie. The movie now comes across as very realistic and ends on a beautiful note. Some may think it is a chick-flick but it ain't. You'll be belittling SRK's towering performance. Oh, you can't miss Goa in the movie. It is beautifully captured. The movie is definitely a must watch.
