Dil Bechara (transl. The helpless heart) is a 2020 Indian Hindi-language coming-of-age romance film directed by Mukesh Chhabra in his directorial debut. The film is based on John Green's 2012 novel The Fault in Our Stars. The original screenplay written by Scott Neustadter and Michael Weber was adapted by Shashank Khaitan and Suprotim Sengputa for the film. Starring Sushant Singh Rajput and Sanjana Sanghi, both encompass roles of grading terminal cancer patients.

Produced by Fox Star Studios, that acquired rights for the Indian adaptation in 2014 after which it underwent series of casting and screenplay changes for four years. Filming commenced under the title "Kizie Aur Manny" by late June 2018. The film was shot across Jamshedpur and Ranchi with sporadic schedules in Mumbai; apart from last one in Paris, France. The original score and soundtrack were composed by A. R. Rahman, with lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya. The cinematography and editing were handled by Setu and Aarif Sheikh, respectively.

The theatrical release of the film suffered due to delays in post-production stages and the COVID-19 pandemic. The former reasons and untimely demise of Rajput called for an OTT release via Disney+ Hotstar on 24 July 2020. As a homage to him, the film was made accessible sans subscription in India and selective countries on the platform. The film received a hysterical response from the audience because the emotional cues of demise portraying Manny (Rajput) in reel turned real for the actor's life. However, it received mixed reviews from critics who praised the running time, Sushant's performace, story and characterisations but panned the lack of emotional depth, cohesion, casual screenplay and direction.

Plot

Kizie Basu is fighting thyroid cancer when she meets Immanuel 'Manny' Rajkumar Junior, who has previously suffered from osteosarcoma and is in remission. Manny and his friend JP, who is suffering from glaucoma and is blind in one eye, are making a movie together, inspired by Rajinikanth's films. Manny invites Kizie to be the female lead. The two bond over his love for Rajnikanth's movies and her love for music, specifically an incomplete song by retired songwriter Abhimanyu Veer (Khan). Kizie and Manny gradually fall in love as they shoot scenes for JP's film. They decides to make 'Seri', the Tamil word for 'okay', their secret word that will help them remember that everything will be okay in life and to stay positive. After an operation, JP loses sight in his second eye, making him go blind.

One day, Manny informs Kizie that he has managed to track down Abhimanyu Veer and get in touch with him. Kizie e-mails Veer, who replies that she can visit him in Paris to get her questions answered. Kizie and Manny convince Kizie's parents to allow them to take the trip, with the condition that Kizie's mother joins them. As they are making arrangements for the trip, Kizie's cancer gets worse and she is hospitalised.

After her recovery, she is weakened and initially distances herself from Manny but later relents. They go to Paris to visit Abhimanyu, who turns out to have no conclusive answers, disappointing Kizie. Soon after, Manny informs Kizie that his cancer had returned and is now terminal.

As Manny's health deteriorates, Kizie convinces him and JP to finish the film. Manny then invites JP and Kizie to his mock funeral, where they deliver eulogies that they have both prepared. Manny dies a couple of days later, leaving a letter for Kizie, explaining that he had finished Veer's song for her and had even convinced Veer to help him finish the song. JP's finished film premieres in an open-air theatre, where Kizie and the crowd get emotional. In the final scene of the film, Manny breaks the fourth wall and directly speaks to Kizie, to which she replies "Seri".

Production

Pre-production

In August 2014, Fox Star Studios confirmed adapting The Fault in Our Stars for Bollywood.[4] In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Vijay Singh (CEO of Fox Star Studios, India) stated The Fault in Our Stars defines and resonates with the emotions of today's youth, across demographics[4] In September 2014, Varun Dhawan[5] and Deepika Padukone[6] were reported as the lead pair for planned remake.[7][8] Producer-director duo Homi Adajania and Dinesh Vijan confirmed their association with the film. In an interview with aforementioned, the latter stated: "It's a story that I really feel needs to be told here. For me it's poignant at a time when we are consumed by technology and are manically running this make-believe race we think is "Life"[9] Also, Karan Johar held the rights to remake the film.[10] By October 2015, the duo backed out citing creative differences and director being replaced as Mohit Suri.[10] Varun Dhawan could not be onboarded citing schedule conflicts.[10] An interview with Hindustan Times, Sushant Singh Rajput denied being approached for the remake.[11] He confirmed through his Twitter handle.[12] In late 2016, the film was considered for debutante female lead for Sara Ali Khan, who backed out[13] and her mother confirmed the project to be shelved.[14][15][16] By December 2016, Alia Bhatt and Aditya Roy Kapur were considered for the project.[17]

In June 2017, reports stated that Ishaan Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor both as debutantes were supposed to star in remake.[18] The project was then to be directed by Shashank Khaitan.[19] The screen test was completed by 25–26 June 2017.[18] Also, the project was considered under Karan Johar's banner, reportedly, actor Aditya Roy Kapur being dropped off.[20] However, the news media incorrectly cited the debutante pair to lead in the remake.[21]

Development

In August 2014, India's Fox Star Studios announced it would adapt the novel into an Indian Hindi-language film, with the working title of Kizie Aur Manny. Producer Karan Johar was supposed to produce the film but eventually backed out.[22]

In October 2017, the project was confirmed starring Sushant Singh Rajput[23] as the male lead.[24] Mukesh Chhabra was selected to direct the film and was in stages of scripting.[25] Reports confirmed that Karan Johar was not a part of the project.[26] In March 2018, Chhabra confirmed Sanjana Sanghi as the female lead opposite Rajput.[27] Whilst Chhabra served as casting director for 2011 film Rockstar, he recalled Sanghi's association with him. She was looking for a few ad jobs, was mature young lady by 2020. Since Rockstar, he wanted to make a film with her one-day, noting the film script ready to fit her in.[28] In the very month A. R. Rahman was reported to compose the Original Score and soundtrack album.[29] Actress Swastika Mukherjee confirmed her presence in the project by September 2018.[30]

Screen tests were completed by end of June 2018. In an interview with IANS, Rajput stated: "I and Mukesh share a great bond. He gave me my first film and I promised him that I would definitely be in his. This was the first film I signed without reading the script, as I know Mukesh is a terrific director. And now that I have read the script, I am glad that I said yes."[31] In an interview with Mid-Day, Chhabra stated he was able to visualise things as a whole with "Kizzie Aur Manny". He gave the film his own language without getting influenced by the casting, thereby a fresh touch to the love story.[32] At the 2018 Jio MAMI Mumbai Festival, Ms. Rucha Pathak, Chief Creative Officer of Fox Star Studios, India stated that it took four years to write the script of 'Kizie Aur Manny', the "Word to Screen Market" is really bringing the world of cinema and literature together.[33] She confirmed Suprotim Sengupta for the film's screenplay and Shashank Khaitan for dialogues.[34]

On 8 February 2019, the film's title was changed officially to "Dil Bechara". Rucha added that the change was to embody the theme emerging out of the title track composed by A R Rahman and lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya.[35]

In an interview with Gayle Sequeira at Film Companion, Sanghi summed up her character role "Kizie" in two phrases: "Emotionally demanding" and "oscillating between extremely happy to extremely romantic to extremely tragic".[36] Kizie played the role of a Bengali girl where Chhabra wanted her to reach a state where she could converse in fluently in Bangla with Swastika Mukherjee (Kizie's mother) and Saswata Chatterjee (Kizie's father).[36] For Sanghi, it took months of diction and cultural training, which she completed with the help of an NSD graduate. Sanghi also joined cancer support groups and spoke to many young survivors to understand the psychological and emotional impact that an illness can have on those who get diagnosed.[36] In addition to Sanghi, Sahil Vaid in his role as "JP" also spent time with such patients.[37] He called his character role both chirpy and cathartic.[37] For the role of Kizie's mother, Swastika stated: "I think my natural maternal instincts kicked in for this... I didn’t really need to work very hard." She found resemblance with her real life motherly behaviours into this role, extending the 'dormant mother-in-waiting went into full-on active mode'.[38] In this interview with The Telegraph she went on to add of Kizie's father role was shorter than her role and peoplecould connected with Dil Bechara on a personal level because it portrayed the household scenes grounded with Indian cutures.[38]

Filming

Principal photography commenced in Mumbai on 29 June 2018,[39] where Rajput shared a promotional still titled "New Beginnings" from the sets on Twitter.[40]

Filming began in Jamshedpur on 9 July 2018. The film poster with its former title "Kizie Aur Manny" was released on the same day.[41] Post his recce, Chhabra mentioned, "I needed a place with a small town vibe and had heard a lot about Jamshedpur. I knew instantly that this was where I wanted my love story to take root."[41]

By August 2018, Farah Khan choreographed a dance number for Rajput (later deciphered as the title track "Dil Bechara").[42] The Jamshedpur and Ranchi schedule was wrapped up. The filming locations in Jamshedpur were Tata Steel, Hudco Park of Tata Motors, Tata Main Hospital, Tata Zoological Park, St. George's Church, St. Joseph Catholic Church, Sacred Heart Convent School, Kadma Marketing Complex, The Sonnet Hotel, Eco Park, Kaizer's Bungalow, Dindli Enclave and Payal Theatre. Filming locations of Ranchi were St. Albert's College, St. Xaviers College and St. Paul Cathedral Church.[3]

By September 2018, a 10-day schedule was completed in Mumbai, scenes filmed at Kohinoor Hospital in Kurla, Film City and Atharva College in Malad.[32]

In mid-October 2018, Chhabra was suspended of services by Fox Star Studios[43] on account of allegations for sexual harassment amidst #MeToo movement in India.[44] This resulted in filming stalled until late December 2018.[45] A 9-day filming schedule planned[46] in Paris was deferred owing to the civil unrest across France and dates availed for filming scenes with Saif Ali Khan lapsed.[47] Second schedule in Paris began on 9 January 2019, where a romantic song (titled "Khulke Jeene Ka") was filmed.[48] The filming locations were Restaurant Loius Phillipe, Eiffel Tower, Hotel Normandi, Pont D'Arcole, Place Du Tertre Monmatre, Avenue Des Champs Elysees, Cimetiere Du Pere Lachaise[49][35] Filming was completed by February 2019.[50]

Post production

Soundtrack

Main article: Dil Bechara (soundtrack)

The film score and soundtrack album are composed by A. R. Rahman with lyrics penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya.[54] Rahman's association with the project was announced by March 2018 and Sony Music Entertainment acquired the record rights by July 2018.[55] It was Rahman's title track which gave the film its new title "Dil Bechara" in February 2019.[35] The music supervision for all the tracks were done by Hriday Gattani and Hiral Viradia. The tracks "Dil Bechara", "Main Tumhara" were the earliest to be recorded whereas the last one "Maskhari".[56] As per Rahman, the whole album was curated to symbolise feelings of the heart and would be associated with memories of the late actor.[57]

The title track served as the lead single followed by the soundtrack release by the record label Sony Music India on 10 July 2020.[58] Upon release, the album received mixed reviews from music critics, who praised its orchestration, duet collaborations, and harmonies, but pointed out unusual lyrics and occasional musical overproduction.

Reception

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 86% based on 14 reviews, with an average rating of 6.19/10.

Overseas

Film critics Rebecca Breitfeller and Tyler Bey from Hollywood Insider praised the film noting that "both characters navigate the youthful beauties of life, all while dealing with the tragedies looming over every scene. They share stories of how cancer has affected their lives, and soon blossoms a beautiful friendship."[75] Critic based at Inquiry, Musanna Ahmed called it a "pretty nice story" adding on : "...much of your enjoyment will depend on if you cared for John Green’s story the first time [...] It is for those who haven’t read the book or seen the original film because this takes plays almost beat-for-beat the same."[76] In her review for The National, Aarti Jhurani praised the film length, calling it a sweet story is worth a watch for the myriad characters" She awarded 4.5 score on a scale of 5, noting Sanghi's effortless portrayal of Kizie and Sushant Singh Rajput's bowing out with a bang.[77] Tanul Thakur of The Wire Dil Bechara’s initial segment shows that it's a smart, sharp movie. It ribs Bollywood's conception of ‘happily ever after’.[78] Karthik Ravindranath in his review for The Week Magazine noted: "Despite minor faults, this girl meets boy tale is worth your time."[79] Dyuti Gupta of SheThePeople.TV wrote: " Sushant’s Final Film Is A Poignant Tribute To His Life And Talent".[80]

On the contrary, Rachit Raj of Medium presented a mixed view: "A decent love story that tries too much to reinvent itself."[81] Hannah Abraham of Cultured Vultures summarised: "While transposing the idea for Indian audiences, much of the subtlety, nuance and emotional depth of the original film seems to have seeped through the cracks." She assigned the film a score of 6.5 on 10, calling it an average watch and certainly not comparable to the original.[82] Gautaman Bhaskaran for Arab News wrote: "Dil Bechara is not a great work. It is casually written and poorly directed."[83]

India

In his review for Filmfare, Devesh Sharma mentioned: "Perhaps this film, with its message of positivity, of hope, of love, is the perfect swan-song from Sushant for his legion of fans..." Assigning 3.5 stars (out of 5), he noted the film direction to pick shades of Rajesh Khanna's 1971 film Anand.[84] Saibal Chatterjee for NDTV wrote: "The film will obviously always belong to Sushant Singh Rajput – on the money all the way, his performance demonstrates exactly why the chops he possessed weren't ordinary." He scored the film 3 out of 5.[85] Taran Adarsh gave it four stars out of five. He described the film as a "beautiful love story. Sushant Singh Rajput is top notch, charismatic in light moments, makes you moist-eyed in emotional parts. Sanjana Sanghi is wonderful."[86] Komal Nahta of Film Information called "It dull and depressing."[87] Sreeparna Sengupta of The Times of India gave the film 3.5 stars (out of 5). She praised: "Given its poignant premise, ‘Dil Bechara’ makes for a very emotional watch. Even as the story's underlying message, of celebrating life despite knowing the inevitable, injects it with an infectious energy."[88] At Scroll Magazine, Udita Jhunjhunwala reviewed in positive: "Sushant Singh Rajput’s final film is a moving experience."[89] In his review for The Hindu, Kennith Rozario said the film was a surreal experience that bridges reality and fiction although quite shallow in its storytelling.[90]

Also, Stutee Ghosh of The Quint pointed "This one is 1 hour and 40 minutes and the rush to get to the denouement robs the film of its magic making it an average affair which is a pity." She gave the film 2.5 stars (out of 5).[91] Critic Baradwaj Rangan, whose review was published in Film Companion, titled: "A Watchable-Enough Romance That Offers A Small Sense Of Closure To A Big Tragedy" He stated: "The weakest parts are the film’s stabs at comedy and its attachment to that musician who’s become a JD Salinger-esque enigma." Reviewing at the OTT platform Arre, Poulumi Das stated: "Dil Bechara is not the most complicated or ambitious film but it does meet its own expectations. It is by no means a perfect film but it is not one without feeling"[92] Critic and author Anna M. M. Vetticad stated: "Dil Bechara subtracts from the positives of the original with its slipshod rewriting, sloppy editing, and ordinary production quality." Continuing the critical review, intended a pun, "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars but in the casual writing and direction."[93] Critic Shubhra Gupta for The Indian Express acknowledged the film as "equal parts dirge and catharsis", assigning it 2.5 starts (out of 5).[94] She noted: "It is the occasional sweetness that Sushant Singh Rajput and Sanjana Sanghi manage to rustle up that carries the film."[94] Critic Komal Nahta "Dil Bechara is a dull fare. In normal circumstances, the film would have not been able to do well in the cinemas".[95]
