The dialogue rarely feels natural and mostly spirals out of control to triteness.

Gauri Shinde's latest film is an emotionally resonant look at an issue that rarely gets covered in Indian society - therapy.

Rated: A-

Dear Zindagi is a bumpy ride but, all things considered, it's still one worth taking -- especially for the sheer pleasure of watching Alia soar.

Rated: 3/5

Dear Zindagi strikes a conversation surrounding mental health that remains an exhausting taboo in the majority of Indian society.

Gauri Shinde’s sophomore serving at the movies was a little charmer.

Dear Zindagi then is a mixed bag. I loved SRK in the film, Bhatt is always a pleasure to watch...overall though, the film comes across as being not enough because the writing needed more substance.

Rated: 2.5/5

Problems Solving, Inspiring, Aspiring, Fascinates towards Positivity. This movie help us to solve tangled issues and problems of life, aspire us towards life, gives us hope that everything will be better someday. Positive vibes we get from it. We need more movies like this rather than romance or action. Every story which ends with great message and happiness gives us satisfaction and joy. The way Kiara ask questions like one of normal frustrated youth and Dr. Jahangir guides her with his maturity and experience, it happens with each one of us. Some meets their Dr. Jahangir but some doesn't. This movie is for them who don't get proper guidance to tackle situations. I hope they make its second part. It will be treat for us. Please do watch it. It's totally worth your time and i can bet you will re - think this movie while sleeping.

A well paced movie resting upon the laurels of its two lead actors. A good one time watch with a light tone.
