critic’s score: 



2.5/5

Aye Zindagi is predicated on a real story. Vinayak ‘Vinay’ Chawla (Satyajeet Dubey), a younger laptop engineer hailing from the center class will get to know that he has liver cirrhosis. He travels from Lucknow to Hyderabad to fulfill Revathi Ranjan (Revathy), an organ donation counsellor who persuades households of mind lifeless sufferers to donate their organs. Speaking to her kindles Vijay’s hopes, however getting a liver that meets his explicit parameters is tough. Vinay, pissed off, begins to lose hope however life, as they are saying, finds a manner. How issues prove proper for him types the crux of the movie.

The movie carries a strong, affirmative message that actually is the necessity of the hour. Organ donation is one thing Indians majorly shrink back from. So many lives might be saved if the bulk turn out to be organ donors. However sadly this message is conveyed in a haphazard method. Whereas the scenes exhibiting Vinay going by way of completely different levels of the illness are gripping, the put up interval scenes, the place we see Vinay affected by main survivor’s guilt as he was solely in a position to get a liver as a result of somebody has died, sound very unrealistic. He needs to fulfill the organ donor’s household and provide his gratitude, in addition to his condolences. All that’s nice. However he’s been depicted as a petulant little one throwing tantrums over not getting his favorite model of ice cream in such scenes. They wanted to be written and shot with a sure gravitas, which is lacking. Consequently, you don’t really feel their impression as a lot as it’s best to.

Then, his romance with the night time nurse, Manjula (Mrinamayee Godbole), too appears infantile. After his discharge, they discuss totally on the cellphone and one nice day, he proposes out of the blue and he or she accepts. Manjula at the least exhibits skilled restraint whereas coping with a affected person whereas he was beneath her care. Vinay, alternatively, once more behaves like a tennager crushing madly on the primary fairly woman he sees. He’s a certified engineer working in a reputed agency however his emotional immaturity is jarring. His brother, performed by Sawan Tank, is a examine in distinction. He’s proven to be a physician all set for larger research however takes a break to handle his youthful sibling. The pinnacle honcho of the hospital (Hemant Kher) too is proven to have a relaxed head on his shoulders. Why was the central character so weakly constructed boggles the thoughts.

The movie doesn’t get derailed due to the sincerity of the actors. Marathi actress Mrinmayee Godbole has been given a half-baked character sketch however doesn’t let that hinder her. She’s executed full justice to her underwritten function. Hemant Kher has channelled his inside Biswajit in his efficiency as a compassionate physician and Sawan Tak is the very soul of a caring elder brother. Satyajeet Dube is sweet within the scenes the place he’s proven slowly dropping each his well being and psychological peace. His depiction of a depressed affected person is spot on. Your coronary heart goes out seeing his full dedication to the uneven materials he was saddled with within the latter a part of the movie. Revathi is a powerhouse performer who has at all times made every function her personal and does it right here as nicely. She’s the very soul of a grief counsellor and makes you sit up and take discover of her impactful efficiency.

If slightly extra care was taken by the author and director Anirban, Aye Zindagi would have turned out to be a far superior movie then it presently is. It does carry a strong message, which must be communicated to the plenty. The movie’s coronary heart is in the correct place and let’s hope the viewers forgive the gaffes and take to its teachings.
