Saif Ali Khan stands out as bitterly honest artist-in-recluse in Sushant's 'Dil Bechara'

Saif Ali Khan has a special appearance in Dil Bechara as an acclaimed musician Abhimanyu Veer whose art impresses Kizie Basu, the character played by debutante Sanjana Sanghi. For most of the film, Abhimanyu is revered by both Sanghi's Kizie and Sushant's Manny as the maker of their favourite song 'Main Tumhara' (I'm yours) which is believed to have a sense of incompleteness in its essence. The duo travels to Paris from their small town of Jamshedpur to pursue Abhimanyu and ask him the reason for the imperfection in their favourite song.

Abhimanyu, on the other hand, is portrayed as an artist in recluse who does not want to be recognised and is bitter in his conduct. As he mocks his guests, Kizie and Manny, he reveals how the death of the person one draws inspiration from, makes him lose the will to live or create anything. The entire film is a treasure for nuances of life and death which plucks at the audiences' heartstrings.
