Dil Bechara, also starring Sanjana Sanghi, released on Disney+ Hotstar on Friday evening, where it is available to subscribers as well as non-subscribers of the OTT platform as a form of tribute to Sushant Singh Rajput. The film opened to largely positive reviews from film critics. Dil Bechara marks casting director Mukesh Chhabra’s directorial debut.

Film critic Saibal Chatterjee, in his review for NDTV, gave the film 3 stars out of 5 and he wrote: “One cannot help falling in love with Sushant Singh Rajput and debutante Sanjana Sanghi. They strike up a lively rapport. The more sparkling passages, infused with humour and warmth, owe their existence to the source material.”

Dil Bechara is inspired by John Green’s book The Fault In Our Stars, which was also adapted into Hollywood film with the same name and it featured Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort in the lead roles.
