Dil Bechara release: Everything you need to know about Sushant Singh Rajput’s last film

Sushant Singh Rajput and Sanjana Sanghi starrer Dil Bechara will be premiered at 7:30 pm on Disney Plus Hotstar today. The film is based on the 2014 Hollywood hit, “The Fault In Our Stars” featuring Ansel Elgort and Shailene Woodley, which was adapted from novelist John Green’s 2012 bestseller of the same name.

The film is a coming-of-age romantic drama revolving around a young couple, Kizie and Manny. While Kizie has thyroid cancer, Manny suffered from osteosarcoma. Their journey of hope, love and endless memories to help each other be comfortable with their imperfections while living life to its fullest is the main plot of the film.

Sanjana, who has previoulsy played cameos in a few film, will be making her lead debut with Dil Bechara. Time and again, after Sushant’s demise, the young actor has shared how difficult the process of promoting film has been for her.

On the much anticipated day of its release, Sanjana took to her Instagram to share a heartfelt note to her Manny aka Sushant. “My Manny, I hope you’re looking over us, blessing us, and smiling upon us as we are, looking up at you, searching for you, in equal parts awe and disbelief,” she wrote.

Mukesh Chhabra, who will be making his directorial debut with the film, recently said, “Don’t want to celebrate ‘Dil Bechara’ as Sushant’s last film.”

Talking about the same, Sanjana wrote: “As @castingchhabra so correctly said, how could both our debut films ever be his last? Life is just so not fair.”

“In ways known and unknown to somehow brave through this incredibly tough path.We can feel the strength every minute. It’s the only silver lining amidst so many dark clouds.The day apparently has come.
It’s #DilBecharaDay,” she further added.

With just a few hours left for the release of the film, not just fans but other Bollywood celebrities are also doing their best to promote Dil Bechara.

Sushant’s girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty shared a clip from the film and wrote: “It will take every ounce of strength in me to watch you You are here with me , I know you are ….I will celebrate you and your love, The Hero of my life ..I know you will be watching this with us.”

He initially heard saying in the video clip that he feared for his life and regretted that police was not accepting his FIR against the accused.

“I have been pleading to Niwari police to give me protection for the last two months. Police is not accepting my FIR. If something happens to me or my family, then the accused should be held responsible”, he was heard saying in the video clip.


Superintendent of Police Vahni Singh told reporters that a land dispute was resolved by revenue and police officials on July 14. “It was found the land claimed by Sunil Tiwari was not his, and he had accepted it,” she said. Whereas, Awadesh Tiwari had a criminal background and had more than 10 cases against him.

Days before the incident, Sunil in a video shared on the social media claimed he had received death threats from Awadesh and others for a year. “They are threatening to kill me and my family, and have demanded a Rs. 5 lakh ransom. These are people with political connections,” he purportedly said in the video, claiming he informed of the threats to the Superintendent of the Police and the Collector as well.

“I am a simple journalist who revealed some of their irregularities,” he had said. “I got two of their licences cancelled which they got in a fake manner.”

At a time when the world is indulged in finding the cure of novel coronavirus, Minister of State for Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation, and Parliamentary Affairs, Arjun Ram Meghwal, MP for the Bharatiya Janata Party, has claimed that a ‘papad’ will defeat the virus.

Ministers, (Baba) Ramdev all trying to profit from Covid-19 by peddling bogus cures.”

Meanwhile, meme creators have organised a memefest on Twitter as they call out irresponsible behaviour of the MP with humour. The word “papad” has emerged as one of the top trends with over 1,000 tweets.

“Now we know that the MoS has used the lockdown period productively.
Ghar mein paapad bel rahey they,” wrote another user.

This year, like many other events, Independence Day celebration at will also see significant changes at the Red Fort.

While, Prime Minister Narendra will continue the tradition this year too, Red fort will reflect a different light of a nation in the middle of a global pandemic.

According to media reports, number of invitees for the Independence Day celebration at Red Fort have been cut to 250 from the usual figure of 1,000.

According to a report published in The Indian Express, the Independence Day celebrations will witness a different mood as “No schoolchildren, a pared-down list of dignitaries, chairs instead of rugs for seating in several areas and police in PPE” will be seen at the Red Fort.

“At the Red Fort, instead of the 900-1,000 invitees every year, around 250 people will be present as the Prime Minister addresses the nation,” an official with the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) told The Indian Express.

Presence of schoolchildren at the event has always been an integral part of the Independence Day ceremony. Every year, children from different part of the country gather wearing colours of the tricolor and sing the national anthem at the end of the prime minister’s address.

“This year, children will not take part due to the pandemic, except for NCC cadets. Social distancing will be maintained, staff will be in PPE kits, and there will be a number of sanitisation points,” The Indian Express quoted a source as saying.

Apart from this, it has been speculated that the government is planning to honour corona warriors for their contribution amid the pandemic on Independence Day.

IAF, strengthening the combat aircraft by fitting out it with HAMMER missiles

Rafale fighter jets will soon be introduced in Indian Air Force. This is sure to give Indian firepower a major upswing. Rafale fighter jets will introduce new abilities in IAF’s fighter fleets.

The Indian Air Force is further strengthening the capabilities of the combat aircraft by fitting out it with the HAMMER missiles from France.

“The order for the HAMMER missiles is being processed and the French authorities have agreed to supply them to us at a short notice for our Rafale combat aircraft,” government sources told ANI.

Armement Air-Sol Modulaire (AASM) HAMMER (Highly Agile Modular Munition Extended Range) is a new generation medium-range modular air-to-ground weapon designed and manufactured by Sagem (Safran group), for the French Air Force and Navy.

This would give India the ability to take out any bunkers or hardened shelters in any kind of landscape comprising mountainous locations like Eastern Ladakh, where a tense standoff is on between India and China.

The report stated that in view of the “urgent requirement” for these missiles by the Air Force, the French authorities would be “delivering the systems to India from the existing stock meant for some other customer”.

Under emergency powers granted by the Central Government for immediate procurement to the Armed Forces, an airborne surface-to-surface Hammer missile is being ordered to hit targets of up to 60-70 km.

The board will be scheduled as soon as all eligible women SSC officers exercise their option and complete requisite documentation,” said an Army officer on Thursday.

In September 2019, the Ministry of Defence improved one anomaly based upon a judgment, by accepting that from April 2020 women officers will be capable for permanent commission but only those commissioned from 2014 onwards will be eligible for the same.
