Love,
commitments,
relationships
–
it
is
most
difficult
to
explore
a
topic
that
has
been
dealt
with
a
billion
times
already
in
Bollywood.
Love
Breakups
Zindagi,
a
slice
of
life
does
just
that.
Directed
and
written
by
Sahil
Sangha,
the
movie
stars
Zayed
Khan
and
Diya
Mirza
essaying
the
lead
roles
in
the
film.
Love
Breakups
Zindagi
is
the
first
movie
produced
under
the
banner
of
Bonfire
entertainment,
which
is
a
Dia
Mirza-Sahil
Sangha-Zayed
Khan
production
company.
Love
Breakups
Zindagi
explores
relationships
and
talks
about
love,
romance
and
breakup.
The
plot
has
two
stories
going
side
by
side
-
Zayed-Dia-Vaibhav
and
Cyrus-Tisca.
Love
Breakups
Zindagi's
extended
title
'a
slice
of
life'
is
apt
as
the
film
boasts
of
many
sequences
which
happens
on
a
day
to
day
basis
and
is
easy
to
relate
to.
Sahil
Sangha
is
a
fine
story
teller
and
has
made
an
honest
effort
to
narrate
the
story
as
sensitively
and
simply
as
possible
without
making
it
too
hushy-mushy.
However,
Love
Breakups
Zindagi
lets
you
down
completely
in
the
second
half
as
the
story
is
dragged
on
and
on
until
the
end.
The
climax,
in
fact
is
even
more
disheartening.
The
film
lacks
crisp
editing
and
that
clearly
shows.
Music
by
Salim-Sulaiman
is
top
notch.
The
song
'Rab
Rakha'
is
powerful
while
'Rozaana'
is
a
nice
and
foot
tapping
soundtrack.
'Main
Se
Meena
Se',
the
remix
version
is
amazing.
Full
marks
to
cinematographer
Aseem
Bajaj.
The
breathtakingly
beautiful
picturesque
and
landscape
has
been
beautifully
captured
by
the
camera.
Story
Jai
(Zayed
Khan),
who
is
a
marketing
executive
in
Delhi
is
of
the
opinion
that
opposites
attract
and
hence
is
dating
a
bossy
girl
Radhika
(Pallavi
Sharda),
whose
personality
is
opposite
of
his
own.
Meanwhile,
Naina
(Dia
Mirza),
who
is
a
photographer
by
profession
based
out
of
Mumbai
makes
an
attempt
to
make
her
relationship
work
with
her
workaholic
investment
banker
boyfriend
Dhruv
(Vaibhav
Talwar).
Jai's
best
buddy
Arjun
(Satyadeep
Misra)
and
Naina's
good
friend
Gayatri
(Auritra
Ghosh)
are
getting
married
in
Chandigarh.
That
is
where
Jai
and
Naina
meet
for
the
first
time.
Though
the
two
vibe
very
well,
it
falls
a
little
short
of
love
as
both
are
already
in
a
committed
relationship.
Meanwhile,
we
see
Jai
and
Arjun's
friend
Govind
(Cyrus
Sahukar)
getting
close
to
Arjun"s
aunt
Sheila
(Tisca
Chopra).
Govind
is
an
interesting
character,
who
is
twice
divorced
and
still
is
open
to
making
new
girl
friends.
After
the
wedding,
everybody
goes
back
to
the
routine.
However,
Jai
happens
to
visit
Mumbai
for
some
work
and
decides
to
catch
up
with
Dia.
Meanwhile,
Govind
is
also
seen
having
coffee
dates
with
Sheila.
Shahrukh
Khan
plays
himself
in
the
film
and
says
in
the
end,
“Eventually
in
life
and
films
everything
has
a
happy
ending".
Performance
Love
Breakups
Zindagi
truly
belongs
to
Zayed
Khan
and
Dia
Mirza.
Zayed
Khan
is
outstanding
and
so
is
Dia
Mirza.
Zayed's
depiction
of
emotional
sequences
is
truly
worth
watching.
Dia
has
done
complete
justice
to
her
role
as
Naina.
The
character
suits
her
perfectly
well.
Tisca
Chopra,
Cyrus
Sahukar,
Satyadeep
Misra,
Auritra
Ghosh
and
Vaibhav
Talwar
are
natural
actors
and
have
done
a
wonderful
job.
Umang
Jain
is
okay
whereas
Farida
Jalal
is
lovable.
However,
Soni
Razdan
doesn't
have
much
to
do
in
the
film.
Love
Breakups
Zindagi
has
special
appearances
by
Shabana
Azmi,
Boman
Irani,
Riteish
Deshmukh
and
Shahrukh
Khan.
Overall,
Love
Breakups
Zindagi
is
strictly
okay
–
can
be
watched
at
least
once.
