Main Tumhara is haunting me every single night since I watched the film. The flute part is heartbreaking and reminds me so much of Sushant 😭

I just love Rahman for being so restrained and calm.

His vibe is so positive and zen.

(I am scared to compliment people though )

Posting my review...

* SPOILERS AHEAD *

Had to watch it twice to actually assimilate the film, even though 'The Fault In Our Stars' is one of the most special stories for me for it's the first book ever that actually made me cry and stirred me when I was a teenager.

The first time I watched went like a blur and I barely could focus especially during the last twenty minutes or so because I was bawling my eyes out. And I'm pretty sure that I've never cried that much for any movie. Ever.

Why? It's quasi impossible not to identify bits and pieces of Sushant Singh Rajput in Immanuel Rajkumar Junior/Manny... The same genuine, filmy love for his favourite hero (just like his love for SRK in real life), the same passion, the adorable and playful side, and the charm that sweeps you off your feet. Needless to say, the uncanny parallels to real life that the dialogues establish and the tragic ending make Manny the character that stays with you at the end of the movie. It's a very emotional tribute to a gem lost too, too soon regardless of any kind of flaws.

Now coming to the part where I use my brain, yes, it's not at all a perfect movie. Noticed quite a few flaws the second time I watched it, starting from clumsy editing to a pretty weak screenplay to not-so-smooth transitions from scene to scene and slightly half-baked character development. I feel that a few scenes failed to bring the right emotions because they tried to distinguish this one from the American adaptation of TFIOS - however, in trying to do so, for example they've removed essential aspects of Augustus's (Manny's) character that would have been impactful - like the side of his that wants to do a lot of stuff and become someone renown to be remembered posthumously. That facet of his wasn't developed in Dil Bechara even though Manny talks about it, so something felt a bit amiss according to me. Another thing, Kizie's mom becoming an open-minded teasing mom from an overprotective one once in Paris felt sort of weird to me tbh.

But all of that aside, the emotions that only those last 20 minutes evoked in me would be enough for me to give a 5/5.

Actingwise, Sushant's performance was all heart. The desi version of Augustus Waters is made for a natural, charming and handsome actor of his calibre. His Manny makes you laugh, cry and touches your heart. His performance in the theatre scene, the rain scene and the scene where Kizie confesses her love for him will stay with me. Sanjana Sanghi is quite promising, although a little raw. The second time I watched, I noticed that she slightly faltered in the main emotional scenes but Sushant's presence made up for those in most of them. Sahil Vaid, Saswata Chatterjee (he was AMAZING) and the actress who plays Kizie's mom were brilliant. Saif had a small cameo but I couldn't connect with that scene tbh - again they shortened that pivotal scene for unknown reasons. Another thing that didn't 100% convince me was Shashank Khaitan's idea of replacing the book that Hazel (Kizie) is passionate about ("An Imperial Affliction" in TFIOS) by a song ("Main Tumhara" in Dil Bechara). But then the beauty of the song somehow made up for that bizarre replacement.

Coming to the music, I'm probably one of the few who has enjoyed practically every single AR Rahman album, and this one is no less, to say the least. It's studded with gems, especially Taare Ginn and Main Tumhara. The Dil Bechara title track grew on me so much, and I can't stop humming it.

'Taare Ginn' is such a sweet rendition to blooming love by Shreya Ghoshal and Mohit Chauhan, and it has gorgeous music. The piano parts The full music video of Taare Ginn and the phone conversation that follows are probably the sweetest portions of the movie

And last but definitely not the least, 'Main Tumhara'... That song is easily the soul of the movie. It's haunting torture, albeit a sweet one, because while it's absolutely beautiful and soulful, the lyrics and the music punch you in the gut, reminding you that this is Sushant Singh Rajput displaying his brilliance for the last time.

I don't know if it's just my overthinking self that's causing me to shatter my own heart but the prophetic nature of the song gives me goosebumps. It's like he's saying "Tum na huye mere toh kya, main tumhara main tumhara sitara raha" as in even though we haven't been there for him as an audience, he's still there, our shining star... And now he's become one.

All in all, it's a sweet movie, and as imperfect as it is, it's the perfect goodbye for this incredibly talented star

"Okay? Okay." will never be the same for me anymore. It's now always gonna be "seri".
