They captured the beauty of Goa wonderfully.
“Agar hum apni zindagi ka steering wheel apne haath mein nahi lenge na … toh koi doosra driver seat par baith jayega” (If we don’t take the steering wheel of our life in our own hands … then someone else will sit on the driver’s seat) “We are all our own teachers in the school of life”
“Jab hum apne aap ko achchi tarah samajh lete hai … toh doosre kya samajhte hai, it doesn’t matter … not at all” (When we understand ourselves well enough … then it doesn’t matter what others think about us … not at all) “Kabhi kabhi hum mushkil rasta sirf is liye chunte hai … kyun ki humein lagta hai, important cheezein paane ke liye humein mushkil rasta apnana chahiye … apne aap ko punish karna bahut zaroori samajhte hai … but why, aasaan rasta kyun nahi chun sakte … kya burai hai us mein … khaas karke jab us mushkil ka saamna karne ke liye hum taiyaar hi nahi hai” (Sometimes we choose a difficult path only because … we feel that to attain important things we need to choose a difficult path … we think that it’s important to punish ourselves … but why can’t we choose a simple path … what’s wrong with that … especically when we are not ready to face that difficult path) “Don’t let the past blackmail your present … to ruin a beautiful future” The movie has some wonderful dialogues that are inspiring and would make you feel just good about yourself. Mental Health is a serious issue and it is not an easy thing to go through. For someone who has gone through anxiety many times, I can totally understand, relate and feel for all that Kaira (Alia Bhatt) went through in the film. The movie does a good job handling Mental Health issues. Then there are some movies like “Dear Zindagi”, which fits in the middle category i.e memorable, understanding but could have been better. There are some good movies and there are some bad movies.
