24 Nov 2016

There is endless speculation about the extent of ShahRukhKhans role in the eagerly awaitedGauriShinde-helmed DearZindagi.Well, lets put all speculation to rest. ShahRukh Khan is the leading man of the film, no two ways about it. The film is 2 hours 29 minutes long. The first-half is 1 hour in length. ShahRukhKhan makes his entry 20 minutes before interval, because, as Gauris story goes, this is where the hero needs to enter the heroines life. So, in reality, there is more of ShahRukhKhan in DearZindagi than there was inRohitShettys Dilwale and theres more of ShahRukhKhan in DearZindagi than there was ofAamirKhan in TaareZameenPar. Once hes there in DearZindagi , ShahRukhis all there. He takes over the show, as only he can. He is in almost every frame, and what a delight to see him shed his habitual mannerisms, to give a completely natural unaffected gentle and moving performance. DearZindagi is Shah Rukh Khan s best performance to date. As for Alia Bhatt, all one can say is, what is this child-woman all about? In no time at all, she has become the one female actorBollywoodcan bank on to be uniformly brilliant in anything she does. DearZindagi will take Alia to the next level. As for ShahRukh, he doesnt need any new levels in his career. The directorGauriShindehas brought out facets of Shah Rukh Khans personality never seen before. We cant wait for them to come together again. We can safely assume there are now twoGaurisin King Khans life.
