Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara Box Office Prediction – Hit or Flop?

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara directed by Zoya Akhtar releases tomorrow and the film has a huge starcast. Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif are two of the most popular actors in the industry and their presence should give the films box office collections a huge boost. Apart from Hrithik and Kat, the film also stars Farhan Akhtar, Abhay Deol and Kalki Koechlin.

Much like Delhi Belly, ZNMD is targeted at the youth and the urban audience. The film is expected to open well in cities and then grow on word-of-mouth.

The opening though might not be spectacular due to several reasons

  • There is no ‘big film’ buzz around Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and the promos haven’t been the talking point either.
  • Delhi Belly is still strong in cities and Murder 2 is unlikely to be replaced at single screens.  Also, the last part in the Harry Potter series of films is scheduled to hit screens tomorrow (i.e if the producers and multiplex owners can settle their dispute on time). In bigger cities, going by the advance booking, Harry Potter is unfortunately the first choice.
  • Next week, Singham is scheduled for release and it should affect the collections of Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.

While things don’t look too rosy, Zoya Akhtar and the ZNMD team is quietly confident. If the content is good, the competition simply does not matter.

Coming to the point.. below are our prediction for Hrithik Roshan’s first and only release of 2011

Excel Film’s Zindagi na milegi dobara has a huge cast comprising Hrithik Roshan,Katrina Kaif,Farhan Akthar,Abhay Deol etc. The movie has a very urbane feel to it and is expected to do really well in the high end properties but it remains to be seen if the movie can go really mainstream and justify its costs.

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara Box Office Prediction

IF GOOD (very positive word-of-mouth)

  • Weekend – 27 crores
  • Weekdays – 12 crores
  • Week 1 Total – 39 crores
  • Final – 65 crores+

IF AVERAGE (mixed word-of-mouth)

  • Weekend – 25 crores
  • Weekdays – 10 crores
  • Week 1 Total – 35 crores
  • Final – 50 crores+

IF BAD (negative word-of-mouth)

  • Weekend – 22 crores
  • Weekdays – 8 crores
  • Week 1 Total – 30 crores
  • Final – less than 40 crores

After two disasters in Kites and Guzaarish. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara is an important film for Hrithik, make no mistake about that.

  • The movie Zindagi na milege dubara is average a movie, where as always hrithik was looking gorgeous in the movie he has acted too good, and about farhan was too good in the movie, where abhay was not upto the mark he was okay in the movie, about story ,from begning story was not good intrest start from middle of the movie. Middle part is the exlent part of the movie but at the ending was not good.

  • Hrithik has done almost all d variety–Koi..mil gaya,Lakshya,Krissh,Dhoom2,Jodha Akbr,Guzarish and now ZNMD..ZNMD’s budget is around 30 crs,14 crs has been already recovered from satellite and music rights and friday it grossed 7.5 cr and today on saturday collections were increased according to xhibitors report it is around 9 crs today..so total it has already recovered its amount so no chances of losses..and disaster is impossible now.. So everyone must improve his/her general knowledge den open ur shitted mouth in front of people..

  • its good movie
    brilliante direction n good acting by star cast
    it will definitely hit n if positive publicity by mouth then it will be a BLOCKBUSTER….hrithik is a god…..

  • Hey guys! u must have seen the movie….As per this(fucking priyanka) she shud stay in america coz she dsnt support for bollywood movies…. well, Hrithik is the only actor who can even beat hollywood actors if he gets that amount of amount of money as hollywood actors get……ZNMD is a fantastic movie and it has nothing which is fake as the hollywood movie Harry Potter coz magic and superpower is jst a misconception……Better watch the movie first then dare to comment if you really dont wanna insult yourself…. If you talk about hrithik’s acting level, he is the best coz he has the perfection in everything(Acting,Dancing,Look,Personality,Physique)…..even aamir can never act as hrithik as he did in krrish and koi mil gaya……if u talk bout guzaarish, its the best acting ever done by an actor in bollywood so far…..

  • Whoever is thinking dat ZNMD will b a flop..for dem i have made a research..in my last comment i have narrated d budget and how it cant b a flop i hav explained everything..so pls concentrate..

    and i hav prepared from experts’ perceptions..According to trade pandits ZNMD is a hit…

  • Who is that Flop Star Duggu?
    Ans: Most Arrogant Person I Have Ever Seen
    “Mr. Joker”
    Just Get Lost From The Film Fraternity U Bloody Loser :D
    Biggest Flop star With Films Like kites,guzarish And So On..
    I HATE MR.Want Dancer Big FLOP Hasty Homo Hrithik Roshan!!!
    What are you doing? Copying Aamir khan: like Jodhaa Akbar=Lagaan
    ZNMD=DCH, doing one film in a year like him, working with the same directors he worked with(Ashutosh, Farhan…), trying to emulate him in all your performances(ZNMD, Lakshya, KNPH…), following the same method?
    What next? Will you copy RDB, TZP, Ghajini or 3 Idiots?
    don’t worry you will never match the perfectionist, saaala!
    Copycat! Without your papa you’re nothing!
    I cant figure out why ppl r so much crazy about this stupid man….he iz gud 4 nothing… i also think that what is attarctive in his. Neither face nor acting. Ranbir Kapoor , sahid kapoor are far far better than this Bullshit overactor, I don’t know why people are promoting him!! Does he think Indian audience are stupid to fool us with his OTT and doing some dance in every film and then accept it as acting!!!
    All his films without papa (exept Dhoom 2) were flops!
    Again Dhoom 2 was a sequel and had its audience from the first film, and it was a film about style, dancing and songs. Also it came from the biggest production house. All others were disasters: Jodhaa Akbar was a shit boring film and was avg/flop, Laskhya was crap and disaster, Kites was terrible and flopped miserably and that aweful Guzaarish was the biggest disaster of the year, not to forget: AMALL, MPKDH(worst perf of the decade), Yaadein, Fiza…
    Mr.Joker, you are nothing today! You only overact like in KMG and then buy all awards to prove you’re the best, bloody looser!!!!!!!. For the first time in the film industry an actor gets Best Actor and Best debutant award!!Coincidence???
    Kaho Na…Kya Hai?? When Anil Kapoor deserved it .Again for the first time an actor gets best actor popular and critics and that too for a horrible piece of overacting in a childs film like KMG, is it luck or bribing critics? That year the true winner was salman Khan for Tere Naam no doubt. And then biggest chock: winning best actor award for Dhoom 2 despite playing a villain role(without being nominated in best villain) and without showing any acting skill, among outstanding performances like Aamir Khan in RDB and Fanaa. And finally winning again for that pathethic non-performance in Jodhaa Akbar, WTH he was totally unfit for the role and was too unbearable and his dialogue delievery sucked when in the same year Naseer Din Shah deserved for his powerful performance in A Wednesday.
    Salman, SRK, Aamir, Saif, Ajay, Ranbir… and even Shahid are 1000 times better than you,
    KHAALI BRK-DANCE MATRA GARNA AAU6A……..ARU KEI PANI AAUDAINA…………2-4 FILM K HIT VAYO SUPERSTAR SOCH6A!!!!!!!!!!!!HUH!!!!!!!!!!!
    ACTING KO NAAM MA KEI PANI 6AINA……..ABA GHAR MA BASERA MAZZALE KITES UDAUDAI BAS…………..LOL………..
    Coming to ZNMD, it was not a bad film but why that Joker HR was there???, he is such a loser …. no sense of comic timing he ruined the film with his overacting and underacting In every scene, he underperforms his role and allows not only Farhan Akhtar but also a junior like Abhay Deol to overshadow him and steal the hole show. I liked ZNMD and it will be hit for sure.
    Please anyone stop this donkey from acting NOW !!

  • @Shivam: You’re actually the fucking idiot here. And don’t even dare to insult Aamir by pitting him against that HR. Guzaarish was all about overacting he was horrible in the film, and i’m free here to watch what i want, i didn’t watch ZNMD yet but will watch it very soon,.
    And what? Hrithik can beat Hollywood actors looool. Don’t tell another joke like this again, tell him to match Aamir and SRK first then look to Hollywood actors who are way ahead of him. And yes Aamir can never act in KMG coz Aamir never overacts, and Krrish was shit and full of special effects, all about style nothing to do with acting. And you tell me can your Hrithik act like Aamir in RDB, DCH or Lagaan??
    Can he give a total villianous role like that of 1947 Earth, or a performance like the cop in Sarfarosh, or Tapori act like Rangeela and Ghulam?
    Can he emote romantic scenes beautifully like Aamir in QSQT, Dil, Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin, let us not talk about his 0 comic timing can he match that class performance of Aamir in Andaz Apna Apna???
    Hrithik is an avreage actor, he cannot play all roles, but he tries to hide his weakness with dancing and style, he looks good onscreen no doubt that’s why people forget his acting and just concentrate on his looks. He can fool an average cinema viewer but not all, he is not that type of actor who would carry a film on his acting alone.
    I teach acting to students and have been viewer of world cinema since 2 decades. Hrithik can fool an average cinema viewer but not all You guys should learn acting first and then talk here, looks and dancing are not enough to make you the best actor, but people are stupid enough to believe some stants and dance steps as acting!

    As an actor, Aamir is miles ahead of Hrithik, Hrithik is still can’t deliver his dialogue prperly and convincingly and is not as versatile as Aamir.

    Now don’t annoy me again with your pathethic comments, be Happy with you Hrithik(it’s not that i have any problem with him), enjoy his dancing and great looks i don’t give a damn.

    And don’t talk about films like HP it’s not your cop of tea.
    U r too illiterate to judge acting. Hope u won’t come back with reply.

  • @All Gay Flopstar HR fans: You idiots don’t have anything great to say about him exept “he’s perfect in evrything(dancing, acting, looks,..)” stupiiiiid!!!!
    You all are immature and don’t even know the ABCD of acting, so stop spamming here, ZNMD is a good film and deserved BO success but certainly NOT because of Mr.Joker, orange fake Hrithik!
    He gave the worst and weakest performance in the film and was overshadowed by non-stars like Farhan Akhtar and Abhay Deol who proved to be 1000 times better than him.
    I feel pity on this shitty non-actors and his jokers fans who don’t have anything great to say about their Flopstar.
    Yaaaackkk, We should stop this Monkey with big ears from acting right now so the industry can smell some fresh….

  • I have seen it finally… a very dull and slow paced movie… below the mark, Let me tell ya exactly what they look like..

    Hrithik = Below the expected level … Lost his charm 60% from Dhoom 2 and Krishh, really disappointed
    Farhan Akhter = Not Bad..in fact Okie enough, the only acceptable character in the movie
    Abhay Deol = Slightly gay
    Katrina Kaif = All plastic,tries hard to act but I think “natural talent” has secretly promised her that itz not gonna come no way near to her…I wish there was Kareena atleast she knows how to act reasonably well..

    Still missed the charm of dil chahta hai.. and it was my fault that i tried to compare that movie with this one..
    Money wasted and some valuable time as well..
    I Should Have listened to priyanka earlier…

    It will be below avearge at best…

  • I was following Indicine for a few months and recognized that they are biased towards FlopStrar Hrithik, go to the page of news on indicine, you’ll find Hrithik’s name in almost every page!!!!
    wth! I mean why are you promoting this bullshit overactor?
    This fake non-actor is the most OVERRATED personnality in the industry!
    Indicine Team: Shame on you, stop promoting Flopstar Duggu!

  • Hrithik, Saaala joker!!
    I hate Gay Roshan, get the hell out of the industry, What do you think of yourself?
    Dhoom 2 sucked, Krrish was terrible, JA was boring shitty, Kites and Guzaarish were biggest disasters ever. KNPH was an crappy ordinary masala entertainer and KMG was a shameful rip-off from E.T and was a film for kids only. Now when did this fake shitty non-actor give even an average performance, all what he does is either Overactes or Underacts.
    In KMG, Guzaarish, Lakshya, MPKDH…he Overacted big time.
    In KNPH, Fiza, JA, ZNMD… he underacted.
    And still some idiots are praising him and rating him ahead of great actors like SRK and Aamir…wtf!
    Mr.Arrogant, don’t worry you’ll finish soon, coz there’s no place in the industry for Jokers like you. You better quit acting and join dancing coz this is the only thing you’re good at.

    I HATE you, saaaala!!

  • PLEASE READ IT..

    D people who hate hrithik r demselves making him popular by submitting such long comments..THANK U..but no need to release ur frustation here..i dont comment against anybody coz i hav othr importnt works as well rather than criticising people..n people shud even think before commenting in a such shit manner dat “pehle khud utna achieve krlo fir kisi k liye kuch kehna”..coz wen u will come infront of camera den i’ll ask u to speak aur tab dekhenge kaun over actor hai..

    Every actor is gud wid some different quality..I myself is a film making student so i know how difficult is to make a movie n how easy is to criticise..

  • I respect every actor…dey r far knowledgable den a common man..and director is a captain of d ship..so every project is handled by wise people..bt sometimes it clicks d audience n sometimes doesnt..so it doesnt mean dat dey r stupids..

    I hate those people who thinks dat dey hav lot of knowledge bt in reality if dey r given work dey even cant handle it..complete karna to door ki baat hai..so dont insult urself publicaly n speak aftr a thought..

  • @All stupid Flopstar Duggu fan: Why can’t you undersatand what’s going on?
    Hrithik is an overactor, he’s a bloody looser who can’t act to save his life, even Farhan Akhtar can act better than him, poor saala Joker!

    Stop annoying us here, Gay roshan fans.

  • @Ankhur khatarri: You’re an insecure Gayroshan Fan I know that, you don’t know a shit about acting, you need help as well as Mr.Joker Hrithik.
    Your Flopstar is just a looser who don’t know anything about acting, he just buys awards and makes hits with his Papa!
    Now without his papa we can see he has become a Flopstar:Lakshya, Jodha Akbar, Kites, Guzaarish and so on…
    You idiots must shut the hell up and don’t talk about this stupid joker who is good fro nothing!!sala!

  • Vivek..Iam not any one’s fan..But Ur way of talking reveals ur mental standard…n who r u 2 tell anyone abt acting..have u ever hold a professional camera..!!U must even not knowing its name..wat u think of urself..u dnt know anythng abt films..First improve ur knowledge den speak anything abt anybdy..i stated above dat criticising is easier..tm usse acha krskte ho to kr ke dikhao…bolna sab jaante hain aur atleast m not criticising about any body like u r..

    Iam not insecure abt anybody..nor for myself..and if u r annoyed den u can leave..coz ur language is annoyiing most of d people coz A grade gentry is expected here not C class people..

  • @Ankhur khattari:
    You’re really a D grade person to come here and talk, who are you to denfend Flopstar Duggu?
    Is he your relative? How stupid people are!!
    Now you need to shut up and stop talking with me coz i have no time to waste it with insecure jerks like you who are lowering the human society.
