And after watching Tanhaji and this I am doubting Saif’s acting abilities.

I also thought it was rushed but Chhabra just surprised me .

He made a beautiful movie. Wish SSR was here to see it (regardless of how we would have reacted atleast he would have been alive and with his family) .

It actually felt that they cut down the film for digital release. In many places it looked like there were some other scenes. Ideally if it was releasing in theatres it wouldn't be such a short film. Maybe that's why it felt rushed. Yes I'm also impressed with Chabra. Liked his direction, it was the screenplay that faltered.

And YES YES YES!! I can't even imagine how his family will watch this film 😒 But that's cinema for you, Sushant will forever remain immortal through his films! 😊

Totally agree with you.

The movie should and would have been longer because the movie in the second half was kind of rushed. They didn’t build up Manny’s life especially with his granny’s . I hope they release the later version somewhere . I’d buy a director’s cut.

yes i felt that too..many scenes were like abrupt , missed in portions.. very rushed.. anyway they made whatever the best they could i believe for SSRs sake. Lets pretend i am not dying....Gosh, some lines just haunt u even after the movie!😒 SSR will live on in audience's hearts!

I honestly don't tear up a lot in movies, but this film...Sushant's last (that word took a few minutes to get used to) movie. I have to give my honest review.

The movie itself is nothing spectacular. It is one of those movies that has good acting and that's what works for it. But the acting...Sanjana Sanghi has a lot of work to do. She was good in some scenes, but emotionless in others. Saif Ali Khan's role made no sense. I could sense that it was important to the story, but it didn't come out that well. The supporting cast was amazing. I don't know any of their names, but they did a great job.

And finally...Sushant Singh Rajput. To see him for the final time on screen was devastating. He made me cry. I'm still teary-eyed as I write this. Sushant was always great onscreen, but somehow seeing him die in his last movie made it both great and so, so sad. Main Tumhara would make me sad just listening to it, now I have images to accompany it. 😒

There are a few scenes that stood out the most for me. Manny telling Kizie that his cancer has returned. Manny crying in his mother's lap. Manny's fake funeral just so he can hear his eulogies. Main Tumhara. And then those credits to "never say goodbye". Sushant you will always be missed.

The songs initially didn't impress me much except for Main Tumhara, but after watching them in the movie, I realize why A.R. Rahman is so celebrated. His music is what brought the movie to life.

The editing wasn't the best. It felt quite rushed and choppy at times. It was like the editors took a pair of scissors to the movie to make the movie shorter and in the process ruined the flow of the movie.

I give this movie a 5/5 just for 2 people: Sushant Singh Rajput and A.R. Rahman. Now excuse me while I let my tears flow.

Watched it, floored, heart is heavy, overwhelmed and speechless....😭😭😭😭😭😭

All I can think of and say is that ...I am sorry that I didn't like u in the start...and then I became indifferent towards u.....I never watched any of ur soaps or movies....and I am watching so many of them now in the past few weeks......I am sorry ....that I didn't try to know u better.....and the more I am getting to know u ...the more it fills me with regret....I am sorry Sush...sorry for u and ur family......look out for them.....I am so sorry angel..❤️...RIP 😭😭

“Mujhe yeh duniya dekhni nahin hain jis main Manny na ho” stayed with me. 😭😭😭

Oh my god yes! I read someone's post here who said that it was eerie that the film seemed to follow Sushant's life. It is true and those dialogues just made me cry. I was sad throughout the film, but there were many dialogues and scenes that started the waterworks. The film was 1 hour 40 mins, but it took me over 2.5 hours to watch it because I couldn't do it nonstop.

I wrote that earlier as well as others did too

. Saif’s dialogues and the uncanny resemblance to it now 😭 But his character was so abrupt .

Me too. It took me some 3 hrs too. Had to take a break after the scene he tells her about the cancer.

I am still not over it .

His voiceover at the end.

His beautiful innocent smile

His endearing eyes .

His mischievous mannerisms .

6/10 film hai but can understand people being emotional about it

The film overall was good. Not the greatest, but good. Since I had already read the book, I knew what to expect. But since this was the Bollywood adaptation of it, I was looking forward to see what new elements they added to it. Some of them I liked it, others not so much.

The good things I liked: the setting (gorgeous!), the music (a bit too soothing for my tastes, but Main Tumhara has my heart), and the acting (Sushant!).

The not so good things: the editing (some hard to hear dialogues, abrupt transitions, the whole Paris sequence), the screenplay (the second half being rushed so much made it seem like a lot of things could have been taken out in the first half), Saif's character (he was an absolute essential character in the book, and in the movie, he was completely underutilized and come out as nothing but a prick. The horrible acting didn't help either).

It was absolutely impossible for me not to latch onto scenes and dialogues that reflected upon what happened to Sushant.

A few that I treasure the most are: Manny at the cancer group saying, "I'm a fighter, and I fought well", Manny explaining to Kizie's father how he has big dreams, but no longer has the desire to make them come true, the absolute ending wherein we become a true character of the movie. Manny's friends watch his film post his demise, and we watch Sushant's post his.

There are so many uncanny moments in the film, and it is bizarre, and strange, and just makes you wonder as to HOW this film came to be Sushant's last. The lines between real and reel were blurred so much, at times I wasn't sure as to whose story I was following. I knew I was watching Manny, but there undoubtedly moments when Sushant slipped through. A ridiculous notion really since the film was completed long ago, but don't know how else to make reason with it.

I won't remember Dil Bechara for being an adaptation of a book, or for the tragic love story between Kizie and Manny. I don't know if that's a good thing, or bad. All I know is that I'll remember it for Sushant Singh Rajput, and how beautifully, the film summarized him.

Indeed, rishta raha bas rait ka.

The only solace I can get is in knowing the fact that we're all star dust. Hoping that we meet again in the darkest of nights, shining so bright. ❤️
