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.

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.

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.

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

A must watch movie and excellent performance by Kaira and Jug Just watched Dear Zindagi!! lovely movie,great message,,live your life as you wish to live!!! great acting by Aalia,and of course SRK's never ending charm!!! A must watch movie for refreshment from past!! if u r having problems in life this will help u solve it and if u have issues with someone than say to them "JUST GO TO HELL" Like Dear Ex Just Go To Hell !! It is a movie worth a watch and the direction of Gouri shinde is something which takes it to another level !!! all casts have done justice to their role !! story is quite simple,but yet touchy and related to all thing happening in our daily life if u follow a therapist like JUG u will start loving your life Each and every moment of life ,u will love!! simply its awesome go and watch!!
