Dear Zindagi Box Office Collections: Should emerge a hit

‘Dear Zindagi’ is showing an excellent trend in its second weekend at the box office. The release of ‘Kahaani 2’ hasn’t had an impact on business, as the second Saturday business of the Gauri Shinde directed film has crossed the 3.5 crore mark.

The film will collect around 57-58 crore by the end of its second weekend and the second week business is likely to be around the 65 crore mark. The release of ‘Befikre’ will affect business in the 3rd weekend, but ‘Dear Zindagi’ should finish a couple of crores under the 70 crore mark.

The trend in the second weekend has ensured that the distributors will recover costs and the film should emerge a ‘hit’ by the end of its second week.

‘Dear Zindagi’ is a hugely profitable film for the producers.

  • @Indicine….put emphasis of return of investment for distributors to classify hit status. Just recovering cost for distributors doesn’t mean hit for a movie. Otherwise, provide return on investment for both producers and distributors as comparison for viewers. If I follow your logic, then, Dilwale is a huge flop!

  • SRK wasted 40 days of his life than how its beneficial on just 65 cr lifetime? Akshay does this much shooting for his every movie…!

  • Bcoz of Srk presence d movie might reach 60cr lifetime…..otherwise there was nothing in d movie..it would hv not cross even 40 cr net lifetime…..would hv been sureshot flop…..
    Where r those srk fans who predicted 100 cr lifetime for stupid film like dz……must b hiding their faces…..hahahahaha

  • Dear zindgi – 65
    OMG – 85
    Billu-25

    SRK is big flop on non holiday.

    AKSHAY never promoted the shaukeens, he promoted OMG as his movie in various shows .

  • As things stand now. Dear Zindagi might be the only success of November for Bollywood. Industry has lost lot of money in the month of November.

  • Its production budget ran for $165 million, so following the general rule of thumb (break even point = production budget x 2), the film needed to make $330 million in order to make all its money back.

    according to this DZ need more than 75 crs to be called as Hit…

  • @jolly what kind of shit u are talking??
    u are comparing akshays best received film with a mediocre srk starrer.
    remember joker boss cc2c…all were huge flops.
    be fair…i like akshay…both are good.stop comparing…and accept reality srk is a bigger star.

  • Dear Zindagi Review: Thought Provoking; Meaningful Cinema

    By Anand_The Original

    First thing first, I didn’t expect DZ to be very entertaining bedelivered theatre. But there are some comic gags here and there to the audiences glued to the story.

    As all know, it is the story of Kaira alias Koko, a girl and cinematographer, who had a tough childhood leading her to failures in personal and professional relationships in her adulthood. As she becomes sleepless and her behaviors become irrelevant, there enters Dr. Jahaghir, a highly friendly yet strictly professional psychologist.

    He teachers how to overcome troubles in life on her own; maintain different relationships; with families and friends; and stay socially relevant. It’s a simple story but beautifully delivered several messages for one’s life.

    Some messages are below.
    – When you are not ready to face a problem, don’t face it. Find out an easy option. Just because you or others are of the thought that one can succeed only when he/she takes upon challenge, don’t force yourself or feel pressured to do it. Go easy.
    – if you are not happy in doing certain routine job, break the pattern. Try something else.
    – To feel safe, you have to let fears in you and around go first.
    – Don’t let your past haunt your present to ruin your beautiful future.
    – One can only help you in your life’s puzzles but it’s you who have to solve it.
    – Romantic relationship is just one of many relationships in life. Don’t keep crying just because that relationship doesn’t work.
    – Finally, if you need to further succeed in your life or to fulfill your dreams, go out of others’ shadows if you need to. Genius is about knowing when to stop.

    Performance eise,Alia has nailed it. SRK’s performance in line with Swades, Chakde and MNIK. But what only felt awkward was why SRK took 39 days for that role. Or was that a publicity gimmick.

    Gauri Shinde delivered once again after English Vinglish. But what keeps a film like DZ apart from other socially relevant films like 3 Idiots, PK, BB and Sultan is that DZ only sends messages with not so much entertainment, while the latter films delivered social messages in a very entertaining way. And so, those messages have been received by many more people as they wider reach.

    Thus, I feel films like DZ should be made in line with 3 Idiots and BB so that their messages reach to wider section of audiences? Why to send messages to only a section of audiences?

    Everything in the films works except that there is less entertainments. But SRK’s gags were funny and real without his usual hammings.

    Strongly recommend!

  • Some weirdos barking Because DZ is a hit. DZ needs 60cr to be a hit because it did great overseas.
    Lifetime will be
    India – 70crs
    Overseas – 6.6 million
    Super HIT

    If you can’t accept this then PRDP had 185cr budget and netted 193crs but was declared a HIT. Don’t be so stupid bhai illiterate fans.

  • Where is my SRK? He deserved for fan! Anyways I’m waiting for national awards. Why everyone Amitabh bachan gets an award?. Piku, pink??? Really???? He attends awards on a condition to get an award? Really shame on shehanshah!!

  • Non holiday movie release karoge to, zindagi me tum log 100 cr kabi nhai par karoge 3 khan logo like Bata raha hoon? Srk Tera like deka liy na

  • @anand_the original,’usual hamming’,really?????

    If HE would have hammered through our career then HE would be a non actor like your Bhojpuri 2009 born non actor.who is yet to give a single best performance of the year.still you have no shame to see his grunting dialogues like a pig in every movie,rofl.

    And you can’t degrade a excellent cinema even though you are a die-hard hater but you can’t praise you hate even though HE gave BEST PERFORMANCE of the year and will usually keep barking like a roadside dog.jalo aur jalo,rofl.

  • Abe Ganwaar Santosh, kabhi school bhi gaya thha zindagi mein.
    Kuch jaanta bhi box office business and economics ke baare mein tu anpadh, jaahil.
    Do you understand what does it mean when a Movie released in only 800 Theaters and only 1200 Screen across Pan India.
    Maximum per day business can be upto 13Crore when all shows runs to full capacity i.e 100% collection.
    DZ attain nearly 94% collection of its full capacity on its first Sunday when it collected 12.5 Crore.
    So, first go and learn some basic mathematics because it is next to impossible for any Movie to collect more than 13 Crore if it is releasing on 1200 Screens.
    Second thing, generally on weekdays, any movie occupancy remains upto 55-60 % and also ticket rates gets lower in compare to weekends, so average business for any movie which gets a release in 1200 screen will automatically vary in the range of 5 to 5.5 Crore.
    Got it kiddo or should I explain it in more complex and technical way.

  • @Tiger the real king
    What???
    Box office Comparison between SRK and Salman (1992-1999)
    No. Of Atbbs in 90s
    Salman-1(Hum Madhurike bina hai kaun)
    SRK-2(DDLJ, KKHH)
    Note: Hahk opening was 9 lakhs and DDlj opened to 55 lakhs

    No. Of superhits/blockbusters
    SRK-Darr, DTPH, Pardesh, Karan Arjun=5
    Salman=KA, Sanam Bewafa,BN1 =3(Only after 1992)

    No. Of record openers(multi/solo)
    SRK-3(KA, Trimurti, Koyla)
    Salman-2(KA, Biwi no. 1)

    No. of clashes won /lost
    SRK=3 Raam jaane vs AHAT(against aamir), Baazigar vs Bedardi(against Ajay devgn) DDLj vs Yaarana (Against Rishi kapoor) DTPH vs Bhai(Sunil shetty) Yes boss vs Daava(akki)
    Had lost KKHH vs BMCM on Day 1
    Salman Khan-Won HAHK vs Vijaypath but Vijaypath opened 5 times more than HAHK
    Lost Andaaz apna apna vs Suhaag(opening less by large% around)

    Versatility
    SRK-In romantic and -ve roles
    Salman-Action roles

    Famous dialogues(FROM 90s only)
    SRK-har ke jitne waloko……….., Senorita bade bade desho mein……., naam to suna hoga
    Salman-Baye haat jeb me rakhlo saahib.

    Net Collection
    Acc to Indicine Salman has 375 cr but that is by including KKHH> And thing to note is that KKHH collected over 45 crore, plus Salman had free run in 1990 and 1991(Srk made debut only in 1992)

    So SRK ruled the 90s be it BO or hearts
    1992, 1993, 1995, 1997,1998=SRK ahead of Salman(in movies that year) in lifetime
    In overseas SRK ruled each and every time. KING!!!
    ATBBs in OS-SRK had ddlj, kkhh, dtph etc

  • @sss :Get a life you loser. Bhai is friend of your queen so we are sparing him on Indicine. If you continue to rant non sense and invite trouble then be ready for bigger troubles for your. BTW, hows your spell check working ? Dec 27 is coming shortly.

  • @Sayar : If you do not know Salman leads even in 90’s decade per Indicine. There is no point ranting same stuff it wont become truth. If you keep referring BOI please stay there dont visit Indicine.

  • @hrithik-Everbody knows lallu is a 2010 born star. There’s no point arguing on that matter. Indicine manipulated the data of 90’s to show lallu was ahead then and also added KKHH in his collection. Even a kid can understand no star in his ruling decade can deliver 6 back to back flops. I follow both BOI and Indicine so I don’t think there is any problem sharing BOI’s info here on Indicine. Even according to Indicine ” SRK was no.1 for most of his career” Most of his career means both 90’s and 2000’s. Ask any moviebuff about who was the icon of 90’s, it’s one and only SRK. Here’s the link from Indicine- So according to both BOI and Indicine, SRK was no. 1 for most of his career.http://www.indicine.com/movies/bollywood/askindicine-qna-4pm/

    About bashing lallu, I’ve never done that deliberately from my own, it’s been always to answer anyone bashing SRK. And I will never bash lallu on my own unless someone else is bashing SRK. Those who bash SRK will only get their reply. And don’t blabber so much about Dec 27. I don’t know what that date is about. No one outside India and Pakistan cares as well. Whereas November 2 always makes news in even my country. So chill. SRKians have no headache regarding Dec 27. Enjoy your day.
