He’s a Goan singer, a free and Bohemian spirit who sings by the beach to serenade the waves and the tourists gathered around rugged bonfires. He’s a natural because Rumi, his character, is as close to Ali Zafar as a character can get.

His entry would undoubtedly have let off whistles and cheers in the cinema, had the film released here.Ģ.

Ali makes an entry after the interval and is one of the three men in Kaira’s life. And finally, he appeared in Dear Zindagi, a role that was rumoured to be chopped up during the escalation of Indo-Pak tensions, but after watching the movie, we can confirm that his role is meaty enough to make us happy.įor those of us interested in knowing just how extensive Ali Zafar’s role in Dear Zindagi is, we round up all the things you need to know:ġ. More importantly, Ali Zee also announced that he will be making his Pakistani film debut soon and is teaming up with director Ahsan Rahim with whom Zafar has delivered several memorable music videos over the years. He later took the stage again at the Hum Style Awards too alongside a phenomenal Sohai Ali Abro. From being the man of the hour at the Lux Syle Awards 2016 where he delivered the most powerful LSA opening ever to winning an LSA in the category of Song of the Year for ‘Rockstar Romeo’, Ali Zee has been maintaining his repertoire of dynamic live performances. Pakistan’s favourite ‘Rockstar Romeo’ is having a solid year. What planted a big, warm smile however, was Ali Zafar. And of course, the emotional dilemma of being a disoriented young girl with commitment issues stemming from a dysfunctional childhood did come across effectively. We could also see that Kunal Kapoor looked very hot as the fiery Raghuvendra. Through blurry images and unclear acoustics one could make out the brilliant performance Alia Bhatt was delivering and the cool charisma that Shah Rukh Khan – Jehangir Khan in the film – brought to screen. We begrudgingly managed to watch the hotly anticipated Dear Zindagi in this manner. But then what is an entertainment aficionado to do in times like these? One shouldn’t even try to review the film in such a situation because watching a pirated version on a 13 inch computer screen cannot do a film any justice at all. Since Bollywood films are not being screened at cinemas, Pakistanis unfortunately have to go back to basics and illegally download torrents. Thanks to the Pakistan-India conflict that flared up earlier this year, Pakistanis are being deprived of watching their beloved stars dazzle their magic and charm alongside Bollywood actors on the big screen.

Pakistan’s favourite ‘Rockstar Romeo’ ends the year on a high with Dear Zindagi. Ali Zafar with Dear Zindagi crew including director Gauri Shinde and co-stars Shah Rukh Khan, Alia Bhatt and Kunal Kapoor.
