"Let's just pretend I am not dying". That line does become more than a filmi dialogue when Sushant Singh Rajput utters it at one point. It sounds eerie, is ironic given the sadness it exudes, and, in retrospect, would seem to have a discomforting note of prophecy somewhere.
The line becomes pertinent because it reminds us Dil Bechara can perhaps never be regarded or dissected as just another Bollywood film, whatever its cinematic quality or flaws. This is the last time Sushant connects with his fans doing what he did best -- acting -- and he does so in a film about death. Watching him go, you are reminded once again he was an artiste who could simply, effortlessly turn a mundane scene into something endearing.
