Kaira was attracted to what Jug was speaking because she found it interesting while the other doctors present in the conference were talking in medical jargon. The sequence in the film when Kaira first sees Jug in a mental health awareness conference and immediately decides to seek help from him for her lack of sleep is quite fascinating. In case of “Dear Zindagi”, Khan’s role is the same.

Robot” (between Eliot and his psychiatrist) and “Hannibal” (between Hannibal Lector and Will Graham) moved the plot of the series further. If you are an ardent follower of American Television series, you might have seen how the therapeutic conversations in “Mr. Shah Rukh Khan’s role, as Kaira’s psychiatrist, is the point of elevation in the film. In snippets, “Dear Zindagi” provides a way of looking into your life and asking questions to yourself about your dreams and how you can fulfill them. The urban set-up of the film itself is a pointer to the fact that awareness about the problem of mental health and depression is still at its nascent stage. “Dear Zindagi”, although a badly executed film by Gauri Shinde, gives a ray of hope for a popular discourse about mental health and depression.
Cases of depression are on a rise every year and very little is being done to tackle the same.

Jahengir Khan (Shah Rukh Khan), aka Jug, in Goa.ĭespite having a phone full of social media apps, the youth of the present generation is quickly getting disconnected from the society, resulting in loneliness. Kaira, on the other hand, quite easily bumped into the famous and uber cool psychiatrist Dr. Most of these doctors are concentrated at metro cities or tier two cities, leaving behind the prospect of finding a psychiatric facility in a tier III city like Jamtara, Jharkhand where I was born and brought up. The number of doctors available to attend them is a paltry 4000. According to data provided by NIMHANS, there are more than 7 crore people in India who suffer from mental illness of one form or the other.
The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare in 2012-13, spent only 1.3% of the total expenditure on health to National Mental Health Programme.
Like Kaira, who had her friends to help her out in time of depression, my mother has us to talk to. She lives alone, as both her sons are out working. I won’t complain about others because my own mother often jokingly says the same, whenever I ask her to consult a psychiatrist. The word ‘psychiatrist’ itself is a badly received in our society. I have been raised in a family where I have encountered it firsthand. When was the last time you heard someone coming upfront, telling you that their child has a mental health issues? The feeling of being ostracized by the society and earning a bad name for the family are the common excuses you will hear in such cases. But, what about a subject that the society shuts itself from talking about? Mental health has always been a taboo in this country. “Dear Zindagi” is a stepping stone for Bollywood mainstream cinema, towards openly talking about mental health and depression.įilms are often regarded as reflection of society. Well, the reason behind talking about the film is not because the film itself, but the idea behind it. At this point, just like me, you might say, ‘so what’? She faces the usual ‘boyfriend ditched me’ to ‘landlord is threatening to evict me’ problems in the dream city Mumbai.

Kaira represents the young, urban, free women, who live by themselves to make it big.
“Dear Zindagi” is a film about a struggling cinematographer Kaira (Alia Bhatt), dealing with her failed relationships, her urban and peppy friends, her US-return parents and her psychiatrist Jug (Shah Rukh Khan). But there is something that needs to be written down about “Dear Zindagi”. I usually refrain myself from writing about films that don’t quite move me.
