Dil Bechara is a coming-of-age romance film directed by Mukesh Chhabra in his directorial debut. The film relies on John Green's 2012 novel The Fault in Our Stars. the first screenplay written by Scott Neustadter and Michael Weber was adapted by Shashank Khaitan and Suprotim Sengputa for the film. Starring Sushant Singh Rajput and Sanjana Sanghi in lead roles, both encompass roles of grading terminal cancer patients.

Produced by Fox Star Studios, that acquired rights for the Indian adaptation in 2014 after which it underwent series of casting and screenplay changes for four years. Filming commenced under the title "Kizie Aur Manny" by late June 2018. The film was shot across Jamshedpur and Ranchi with sporadic schedules in Mumbai; aside from last one in Paris, France. the first score and soundtrack were composed by A. R. Rahman, with lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya. The cinematography and editing were handled by Setu and Aarif Sheikh, respectively.

The theatrical release of the film suffered thanks to delays in post-production stages and Covid-19 pandemic. the previous reasons and untimely demise of Rajput involved an OTT release via Disney+ Hotstar on 24 July 2020 . As a homage to him, the film was made accessible sans subscription in India and selective countries on the platform. The film received a hysterical response from the audience because the emotional cues of demise portraying Manny (Rajput) in reel turned real for the actor's life. However, it received mixed reviews from film critics who praised the time period and characterisations but panned the shortage of emotional depth, cohesion, casual screenplay and direction.
