Dear Zindagi (2016)
7/10
Fresh take on the struggles of life in modern society

Warning: Spoilers
Dear Zindagi is basically an introspective movie on the struggles that we all face and how to tackle them. The movie addresses several topics such as parents' separation, the social stigma of seeing a therapist and problems associated with dating and multiple relationships. These are issues that are generally frowned upon and not well accepted in Indian society. Dear Zindagi does a nice job in presenting these issues in a relatable manner which makes viewers sympathize with all the characters, even the divorced parents. Dating multiple men, especially for women, is portrayed in a positive light which is noteworthy. While both Alia and SRK gave commendable performances, my only complaint would be that SRK's role did not commence sooner.

Overall, although the movie dragged in parts and could have been more concise, the overall message was still beautiful which is to love life and all the ups and downs that come with it. Definitely worth a watch!
