Dil Bechara-1

Dil Bechara, a Bollywood movie based on John Green’s Bestseller ‘The Fault In Our Star’. The book was a YA novel based on the story of two teenagers falling in love. But the difference is made by Cancer, which differentiates this love story from others. The novel was recreated into a Hollywood movie with the same name starring Ansel Elgort and Shailene Woodley in the year 2014. Dil Bechara has been created on a similar plot with a thought, “What if those teenagers were Indians?”

‘Ek Tha Raja, Ek Thi Rani. Dono Mar Gye Khatam Kahani’

Those who have read Green’s novel or watched the Hollywood movie must have already been aware of the melancholy the plot deals with. But even those who are watching the movie for the first time would also be dealing with similar thoughts after watching the movie. Dil Bechara talks of the issue of a serious disease in teen years of life and tries to supplement it with love, fun, adventure and melancholy. The movie is a rollercoaster ride.

Kizie and Manny are the main characters of the movie. While Kizie has thyroid cancer, Manny had osteosarcoma. The story revolves around their evolution towards acceptance and love. What lights up the movie is their Paris trip together. The movie has been rated 9.8/10 on IMDb. Even IMDb website was frozen for around an hour as a lot of people rushed together to rate the movie on the platform.

Dil Bechara has been released on Disney + Hoststar. The movie has been made free to watch on the platform so that more and more fans can watch it. People are embracing the movie with so much love that social media is flooded with positive reviews and comments full of love and support. After the demise of Sushant Singh Rajput, fans had been demanding for his last movie to be released on a big screen but due to COVID crisis, the movie was released on a digital platform. However, the movie still successfully earned positive reviews from the audience.

A few days back, Ansel Elgort and Shailene Woodley were seen tweeting on Twitter that they would be watching the movie together. Not only this, but a lot of people from countries other than India are also demanding to watch the movie. We hope the movie will soon be released on a global platform and come out as a Global Hit.

The movie would have been released much earlier than this but could not be released due to ongoing MeToo allegations on director Mukesh Chhabra. Due to this reason, the movie has been released now.

The acting of Sanjana and Sushant are commendable. Sushant’s smile has been the most attractive part of the movie. However, fans soon realized that just like a last letter of Manny to Kizie, the movie has also been the last memory of Sushant. But for sure, he will always remain in our hearts.

Recently, Sajana Saghi also opened up after the release of the movie and shared how she and Sushant used to share a special bond during the shooting of the movie. The fans missing Sushant felt his presence not only on the screen but also in their heart. You watch movies but Dil Bechara is not a movie you will watch, you will feel it.

I have had 3 years of experience in the field of media, as a video production assistant, photographer and as a writer. I am a political science graduate from the University of Mumbai.

Rafael Nadal Winning Yet Another French Open

The Popularity of the Spanish sportsman, Rafael Nadal in the tennis world is well-known. His dominance over the French Open over all these years is also not new, since any seasons he has shown why he should be considered for the tag of greatness. In the 2020s French, Open Nadal delivered a clear dominant with scores 6-0, 6-2, 7-5, over Novak Djokovic. Djokovic praised Nadal by saying, “He keeps going. No holding him back, it seems like. It’s amazing. I mean, I admire all his achievements”

Rafael Nadal French Open win

Reactions after the win

With these outstanding scores, he is now tied with Roger Federer at 20 major singles championships, which is more than any player achieved in the tennis history. Due to two back-to-back Knee surgeries Federer who is 39 years at the moment, sat out both the U.S. Open and French Open. But after Nadal’s win he posted a congratulatory note on Instagram:

“I have always had the utmost respect for my friend Rafa as a person and as a champion. As my greatest rival over many years, I believe we have pushed each other to become better players,” Federer began, ending with: “I hope 20 is just another step on the continuing journey for both of us. Well done, Rafa. You deserve it.”

After the victory, Nadal himself commented that “(To) win here means everything to me, no? It’s not the moment, honestly … (to) think today about the 20th,” and went on to say,  “Roland Garros means everything to me. I spent, here, the most important moments — or most of the most important moments — in my tennis career, no doubt about that.”

At the moment he is ranked second, after his French Win. But if Djokovic won this season then the trio, Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic will be standing at 20-19-18. But with Nadal’s win, it brought him closer to break another historic record.

The record he has made is extraordinary and unbelievable but then there are certain factors that contribute to it. Nadal is known as the king of clays since his early childhood planning tennis. He plays best on the best on the red surface and Heavy topspin forehands, incredible defense and a position way behind the baseline make him undefeatable. Nadal is a left-handed player which benefits him immensely, maybe that is the reason behind several wins. His left-hand strikes give him certain unique angles that the opponent is often seen at a loss.

Final Words

Since he is playing from a very early age, he has sustained several injuries. One of the most severe ones was in his knees (Tendinitis). The specialists of the Tennis world have always pondered upon a singular thought: what would have Nadal achieved if he was free of pain and several injuries?

It is explicitly clear that the man was born to reign the Tennis Court while he plays. His fitness, strength, skills, and attitude that goes beyond the court boundary also contribute to his victory.

 The Social Dilemma: The Lesser-Known Pandemic

Published

on

social dilemma

Edward Tufte said, “There are only two industries that call their customers ‘users’: illegal drugs and software”. The new Netflix original documentary by jeff Orlowski “the social dilemma” brings to you the dark side of the social media that keeps you addicted to a virtual world. It is a well-documented and a very staunch portrayal of social media.

It explores the spooky side of these platforms which has the capability to manipulate and psychologically affect human beings from people who have closely worked in these industries. These people talk about the distress they felt when they worked for something. How it is taking hold of an individual’s life and play around with it to earn profit to become the most successful industries in the history of humankind. This group of people is from social media giants like Google, Facebook, Pinterest, Snapchat, WhatsApp, and many others.

What is the “dilemma”?

Social Dilemma Review

As the name suggests, it talks about the dilemma that is social media. I talked to one of my friends from school today, she is doing fine and told me about this new show she is watching. Well, I also saw stumbled upon celebrity news casually scrolling which by the way, has no use for me.  Now, that is the dilemma we are talking about. The documentary talks about our heavy dependence on social media in today’s world and how we fell prey to this trap. In today’s world, it is not possible for one to totally isolate themselves from social media.

All our work has come to Gmail, Pinterest is the world of ideas, and for much social media is the workplace. We found all our old friends on social media and stay connected with our family and friends. But at the same time, we can’t put our down at the dinner table to have an actual conversation with our family. This dilemma is really where we can’t go with just the good part, we will take along the repercussion as well. This is the question this documentary puts out there. The dilemma of good and bad. But the question is, “is the payoff of good is enough to compensate for the cost of bad”?

What are these “bad”?

The Social Dilemma Review

Now, how this social media is affecting you? Manipulation of the Human brain, social media is a world of ideas and how these ideas are presented to you is based on an algorithm that is up to the maker of these platforms to decide. This sequence and control over what one is coming across leads to restricting the way one thinks and builds is the point of view.

Social media has been used as a weapon by many people to pour out false information that is provocative, degrading, and spread negativity across communities resulting in things like riots, violent actions, and sometimes even things like mass killings. We came across this kind of news almost every day. Content related to ideal beauty types, body shaming, hate comments, and constant exposure to advertisements are all constantly floating on social media specifically affecting teenagers and the young generation.

These algorithms work to keep you looking at your screen and is an addiction that needs to be addressed. Unknowingly, social media is affecting all aspects of our life It puts a threat on democracy, increase depression, and even suicides, mob violence, etc. it has also lead to people losing contact from the actual world. Addiction to devices has distanced families and also affects other relationships which are totally opposite to the way humans are supposed to behave, humans as a species are supposed to be open-minded, dynamic, and communicative. Not to just hide behind screens.

Final words

Jeff Orlowski has very rightly called it the social dilemma. But at the end of the day, it’s in our hands that how do we want to live How do we want ideas to come to us and how we decide to act to them. All of this can be summed up in one last question – whether we want to live a life that is influenced by people around us, with a wide range of ideas on all aspects from all sources, not just a few selected ones, or a life that is operated by an algorithm.
