Parents Are Your Best Friends!
The movie Dear Zindagi brings out the resentments stored by us against our parents. Alia Bhat plays Kaira, a commitment phobic, anguished young girl. She is a successful cinematographer with a line of guys chasing her but happiness eludes her. It takes the unconventional psychologist Jehangir Khan to unlock her resentment against her parents for creating differences between her and her younger sibling. Her parents were generally speaking their intentions are good for they love their kids and we must accept their imperfections just as we accept ours.
Singer Cat Stevens expresses the disconnect between the generations due to controls exercised by parents when he belts out, “From the moment I could talk, I was ordered to listen, now…” Mothers and fathers do have to lay down facing monetary issues and had valid reasons for keeping Kaira with her grandparents while looking after Kaira’s kid brother. But children see the world in black and white, and to little Kaira, she was rejected by the two people she loved the most. Once she lets go of these hurts, her life takes a turn for the better.
