Critics' Verdict

Dear Zindagi received a mixed critical response. Alia Bhatt and Shah Rukh Khan were widely praised, and critics appreciated the film for bringing therapy and emotional health into mainstream Hindi cinema, but many found it too long, preachy and slow.

DNA India says Alia and Shah Rukh perform well, but the film feels like a very long conversation and becomes exhausting rather than emotionally involving.

2.5/5
Koimoi says Shah Rukh is likeable and the second half improves considerably, but the story takes too long to reach its point and lacks enough power.

3.5/5
BollywoodLife says Alia gives one of her best performances and Shah Rukh is charming. Some trimming would help, but the film remains a rewarding slice of life drama.

News18 says Alia is the film's real treasure and its attempt to remove the stigma around therapy is admirable, but the overlong story becomes disappointing and tiring.
