Dil Bechara gets a new release date, pushed to 2020

Dil Bechara is one movie we all have been waiting for. Starring Sushant Singh Rajput and Sanjana Sanghi, the film is a remake of Hollywood movie The Fault In Our Stars and marks the directorial debut of casting director Mukesh Chhabra.

Dil Bechara was earlier titled as Kizzie Aur Manny, but later the makers changed the title of the film. The movie was slated to hit the screens on 29th November 2019. However, it has been pushed to 8th May 2020. Fox Star Studios, the producers of the film, tweeted, "#DilBechara- An extraordinary love story of two ordinary people, directed by @CastingChhabra. Releasing on 8th May, 2020, only in cinemas. @itsSSR @sanjanasanghi96 @arrahman."


We love how makers have emphasized ‘only in cinemas’ as a few days ago, there were reports that like Sushant Singh Rajput’s Drive, Dil Bechara will also get a digital release and we won’t get to see it on the big screen. However, the reports have turned out to be untrue.

Well, for now, Dil Bechara is getting a solo release as no other film slated to release on 8th May 2020. Earlier, this year, the movie was in the news as Mukesh Chhabra was accused of sexual harassment in the #MeToo movement. However, the things were solved and the director was back in the film.

The Fault In Our Stars was a hit at the box office and one was one of the best films of 2014. We surely have high expectations from Dil Bechara as the original film was amazing.
