It’s unfortunate that, even in 2020, Chhabra and screenwriters Shashank Khaitan and Suprotim Sengupta see this fresh material through a dated lens. The single-take song, Dil Bechara, is breezy and charming, signifying a film that cares for technical ingenuity.īut the problem lies in romance, the film’s heartbeat – and the novel’s sensitive core. The dialogues are light, and even the sombre ones are pragmatic (“I don’t want to be strong I want to be normal”). It opens with the shot of a funeral - in a drama where someone is going to die, that choice feels self-aware. It ribs Bollywood’s conception of ‘happily ever after’.
Soon, they find a new crutch: each other.ĭil Bechara’s initial segment shows that it’s a smart, sharp movie. If Kizie, who has thyroid cancer, has a constant companion in an oxygen cylinder (whom she calls “Pushpinder”), then Manny’s lower right leg is a metallic rod. Both Kizie and Manny need literal support systems. JP is suffering from eye cancer, while Manny, previously afflicted with osteosarcoma, is in remission. They meet again at a cancer counselling centre. She first meets Immanuel Rajkumar Junior (or “Manny”), when he’s fooling around with his friend, JP (Sahil Vaid). Her voice is funny, lively, playful, squashing any possibility of maudlin self-pity or abrasive resentment. The film opens in Jamshedpur, as Kizie describes her life.

Dil Bechara, directed by Mukesh Chhabra, has the luxury of an impressive source material, but it confirms an old filmmaking truth: that a good movie needs much more than a compelling story. The novel’s polarity became a layered commentary on the nature of life: its unpredictability and uncertainty, its gifts and punishments. A morbid story ruled by romance and laughter. Two people battling death yet dreaming a new beginning. An adaptation of the bestselling novel The Fault in Our Stars, it tells the story of Kizie (Sanghi) and Manny (Rajput), who are young, suffering from cancer, and about to fall in love. We were friends for a long time but never worked together.” She added, “I wanted the song to be done as a one shot song because I knew Sushant would be able to do it perfectly, because I remembered Sushant had once come to a reality dance show that I was judging as a celebrity guest and that’s the only time the celebrity guest danced better than the contestants on that show.Dil Bechara, starring Sushant Singh Rajput and Sanjana Sanghi, finds its momentum and purpose through contrasts. The song picturisation is deceptively simple and Sushant who was a very good dancer, made it look effortless.”įarah said, “This song is particularly close to me because it was the first time I was choreographing Sushant. He said, “Farah Khan choreographed it and she rehearsed the song with Sushant for a day and then shot the whole song in one shot. While Sushant has confessed his love for a girl, she merely ‘likes’ him and doesn’t miss him when he is not around.ĭil Bechara director Mukesh Chhabra revealed that it was the ‘last song that Sushant ever shot for’.
He swings his co-star, Sanjana Sanghi on her feet and takes selfies with his friends.ĭil Bechara is sung by AR Rahman and is about the tragedy of the ‘friend zone’. Sushant enters the enter with a peppy walk and ends up in between the audience, dancing with them. The song has been shot entirely in a single take.
