Throughout his career, ever since he transitioned from working in TV serials to films, Rajput has praised for his performances rather than criticised. The so-called vendetta against Rajput, if it existed at all, rarely manifested itself in reviews of his films. However, this outrage is more imaginary than it is real. Beyond the lurking trolls, public personalities like Chetan Bhagat have also come forward demanding that critics either review Dil Bechara favourably, or not at all. Herself, Rajeev Masand, Taran Adarsh, and other prominent Bollywood critics have been targeted online by comments telling them (in much less polite language than is used here) to keep away from reviewing Dil Bechara as Rajput’s final film is greater than any review they could possibly write. It’s ugly and utterly graceless.”Ĭhopra’s measured statement is in contrast to the vile attacks against her by faceless social media trolls. The possibility of real change has been hijacked by settling scores and personal agendas. Instead of respectful introspection and trying to figure out how we can all do better, what is mostly on display is rank opportunism. The circus that has followed his passing is equally sad. In her statement published yesterday, she said, “Sushant’s death is a loss for Hindi cinema. As the last film starring Sushant Singh Rajput, Dil Bechara has become an inadvertent casualty of the toxic narrative surrounding his suicide – a narrative that blames exclusion from Bollywood’s inner circle for Rajput’s death – rather than a celebration of his legacy as an actor.įilm critic Anupama Chopra announced that she would not be reviewing Dil Bechara. No other Bollywood film in recent memory has come so loaded with potential for triggering a troll attack from its supporters, not even the most unapologetically defended Sallu bhai disasterpieces.

The distinguishing factor of Dil Bechara is the veritable minefield it has become for film reviewers. Unlike other films though, this release was different, and not just because it was debuting online instead of in theatres. Yesterday, the film Dil Bechara released on online streaming platforms.
