Dil Bechara made its world premiere on Disney+ Hotstar on 24 July, 2020.
Starring late Sushant Singh Rajput and Sanjana Sanghi in the lead, it is impossible to separate reel from the real world while watching the film.
Objectively speaking, Dil Bechara is extremely flawed. However, it deserves nothing but love. Therefore, I’ll focus only on what I liked about the film… because we could all use some positivity to break the noise around us.
Performances:
Rajput gives a charming performance as Manny, a young man who is in remission and lives each day fearlessly. He sings, he dances, he flirts and doesn’t let a bionic leg stop him.
Sanghi too gives an honest and sincere performance as Kizie. She has a strong screen presence and shines in every frame.

Music:
The songs of composer A. R. Rahman flow with the narrative seamlessly.
If you didn’t like them initially, give it some time, they will definitely grow on you. The music is the soul of the film and plays a huge role in driving the screenplay with more depth.
Connection:
Dil Bechara is a treasured film and a symbol of love for an artist, as actor and a loving soul gone too soon. It has the power to bring the whole world together on a single day and celebrate a life.
Sushant, hope you’re watching us watch you in our homes. You connected to so many people and your film became the reason to connect us all. Hope you’re at peace and smiling. Hope you are seri!
