Dear Zindagi

Plagued by devastating insomnia, Kaira becomes increasingly tangled in despair until she seeks help from the unconventional and charming psychologist Dr. Jehangir “Jug” Khan (Shah Rukh Khan) is looking for an expert in tormenting sleep disorders. But the therapeutic encounters that are now looming and happening between these two pretentious personalities defy any classic treatment, which proves to be absolutely beneficial for Kaira. She now succeeds, together with Dr. “Jug” to uncover and defuse the tormenting aspects of her family history, while at the same time with the musician Rumi (Ali Zafar) a man rushes into her life who tentatively stirs her emotions …

It’s always a celebration for fans when a new Shah Rukh Khan movie hits theaters in this country, regardless of whether Indian superstar “SRK” stars or just has a cameo role. In Dear Zindagi – Liebesbrief an das Leben, which after its premiere on November 23, 2016 in Canada and the USA can now be seen in large German cinemas in a pleasantly timely manner, the Bollywood king now appears with a fairly extensive presence. The role of the cheerful, wise and charismatic psychologist, who does not teach but rather as a living example of his beneficial and forgiving philosophy of life, suits him like a glove and will undoubtedly make some viewers languish.
