The film Dil Bechara touched the hearts of more than 95 million in the first 24 hours of its release on Disney+ Hotstar multiplex on 24 July at 7.30pm. Starring late Sushant Singh Rajput (as Manny), and Sanjana Sanghi (as Kizie), the film marks the directorial debut by Mukesh Chhabra.

Kizie and Manny (as it was originally titled and then changed to Dil Bechara) is a beautiful love story that remains with you hours after the film has ended. Although the film was set to release in May it was postponed as the country’s cinemas were closed as part of a nationwide lockdown to combat the COVID-19 pandemic in India. Following Rajput’s death by suicide in June, Fox Star Studios announced that the film would be streamed for free, irrespective of subscriptions, on Disney+ Hotstar from 24 July.

The official trailer of the film was released on YouTube on 6 July and became the most liked trailer in the world within 24 hours of its release, with 4.8 million likes.

After watching the mesmerising performance, all I want to say is SSR, you shall be remembered. Always. Here is my dedication to the actor.

‘Mann ki chaah Roshni ki’

Suraj ki roshni

Mein dikha usse uska sunhera kal

Banana chahta tha usse apna. Muqqaddr ko manjhe ki tarah muthi mein le, Chal pada uss oddh

Nangay paav oss lagge gaahss par

Kabhi woh phisla, Kabhi sambhla, Lekin haar na mana

Kabhi kaante chubbeh , Kabhi pathar lagge, Kabhi lagaye gaye, Lekin manjha na chodah usne 

Nafrat thi usse saanjh se

Kyunki saanjh aane se woh uska jagmagata suraj doobta dekta tha

Tapish ki puhaar jaisa lagta usse suraj ka jaana. Seh nahi pata uske roshan suraj ko jata dekh

Woh phir mehnat karta. Aur tezzi se bagta. Apni disha badalta

Ki kisi ore usse wapas sunhara suraj dikh jaye.

Apnay maanjhey ko zorr se kheech, Ungli ke ghaav chuppa

Muskurata, jab uske chehre par padti suraj ki roshan kirney

Krodh se latpata utha jab uski patang ne suraj ko dakkh diya

Taav karne laga par jaise hi patang ko kiya usne dusri orr

Dekha saanjh hui thi

Alag sa sookoon mila usse

Jab chanda ki thandi chaav lagi, Laga usse jaise shayad issika aasra tha

Chal pada woh aagey, Andheyre ko jaane kyun apnnane

Muthi se dheel diye , Apne patang ki dorr ko halka kar Faasle kamm kiye.

Taqdeer ko niyantran kar, Aasma chuna chata tha woh 

Dundhuli hone lagi aawaze.

Dheemi hone lagi suraj ki chamak, Ab darr nahi laga usse saanjh ke badaloh ka

Lekin jab choddi pantang ki dorr, Toh laga usse armaan hai pantange jaisa

Chal pada woh uss oddh!

Pata tha akela hai, Patanga hai woh

Jo jalne ka armaan liye aage badd raha hai

Dheriyah le, aankhe band

Jaise maa ki kripa yaad kar

Falakk bana tabh laga usse

Mila usse santavna, jab mili…

Chanda ki roshni
