Dil Bechara, The Fault in Our Stars

  • Watched two movies as mentioned in the subject line.
  • Dil Bechara, The Fault in Our Stars (TFIOS)
  • Actually first watched Dil Bechara on Hotstar without subtitles.
  • Then watched "The Fault in Our Stars" on Hotstar.
  • Then decided to watch "Dil Bechara" again on Hotstar with subtitles to get a more clear view of the movie in case anything got missed out.
  • Now I desperately want to watch "The Fault in Our Stars" once more but I guess that wont be happening.
  • But I can say when I watched "Dil Bechara" once more I felt even more sad regarding Sushanth Singh Rajput (SSR)
  • If I watch it third time I may burst out crying.
  • It is too painful.
  • Hard to realise that the actor is no more.
  • In the movie he portrays a person from a South Indian Christian family.
  • The heroine is from Bengali family.
  • Since the movie is set in Jamshedpur where people from all over the country would be available.
  • It would be having a cosmopolitan culture.
  • The movie is very much believable and watchable.
  • But when you watch the Fault in our stars you realise that the original is too good.
  • SSR makes the movie watchable.
  • I guess no actor could have portrayed the character better I felt.
  • Both the heroine and the mother and father of heroine have got good roles and acted really nice.
  • In TFIOS movie William Dafoe is too good and since he is author and the heroine has read his books for years makes it believable. Also towards the end William makes an entry once more.
  • In Dil Bechara movie Saif Ali Khan is a singer but it is not believable character.
  • And what was he doing in Paris, France.
  • They should have shown that Saif was operating a restaurant.
  • But William Dafoe was living as recluse is believable he being a writer.
  • But a singer living as recluse is not believable.
  • Also one may not get that obsessed for a song left incomplete. 
    • {Brief note now on SSR follows}
    • Read on Net that this movie was shot in 2018 but then why was there delay in release?
    • Maybe there was a "coterie" in Bollywood who did not want to SSR to succeed.
    • But SSR should have realised that big screen is not the only avenue.
    • There is always OTT and TV. 
    • He should have thought that "Drive" was one of the first to get OTT only release.
    • Money is not everything. 
    • Talent and getting recognised is also important.
    • Or since he began from TV he could have returned there.
    • Suicide is not solution.
    • If SSR did not have work due to lockdown lakhs or crores did not have work or lost their work.
    • That does not mean suicide is solution or all will commit suicide.
    • But if he was killed than the matter is different.
    • But we have to leave to law enforcement authorities and police detectives and trust them in their investigation.
    • The truth however hard must come out.
    • If SSR was taking medications for depression or getting treatment that must come out.
    • General public must not be left in dark.
