‘Dear Zindagi’ has collected Rs 32.5 crore in its first weekend at the box office, ahead of big films like ‘Mohenjo Daro’ (30.55 cr) and ‘Shivaay’ (28.56 cr). The collections are around the same range as Alia Bhatt’s last film ‘Udta Punjab’ which showed a similar box office trend over the weekend.
After a good weekend, ‘Dear Zindagi’ now needs a good hold on Monday (today). The film needs to collect somewhere around 60-65 crore to recover costs for the distributors and more than 50% has already been recovered in the first weekend. As far as the producers are concerned, ‘Dear Zindagi’ is a big winner as the film is also performing phenomenally well at the overseas box office.
A 5-crore Monday would be a solid hold, while anything less than 4 crore would make recovery difficult in the long run. ‘Dear Zindagi’ will face competition from ‘Kahaani 2’ this weekend, so the kind of response that film gets will also be a factor.

@maria: srks double role in fan is just 84 CR’s which is 46 CR’s less than airlifts 130 CR’s.don’t make us to bash srk unnecessarily by creating fan wars.
@Soham and Yasir egjacly very true very true weekend was bigger since we all know not to expect huge numbers for pre diwali days like what we saw in krish3 and Shivaay. But 1 question bro please answer
DZ weekend < Hrithik 4th day Collection
DZ weekend < Ajay's 1st day collection.
Both by trade and producer figures.
Mind you Boi find it difficult to gather information from interiors of India compared with metro plexses that's why there's disparity. Use your 6th sense sometimes
@death ranger @1:02 pm… MD was a rejected movie why u comparing all movies with MD ,shows ur IQ level ,ZNMD with same screen count and same genre 5 years back did better business than this…

#Aukaat…
Good collection.
Yasir ??? the achievements accolades and respect Ajay has earned in Bollywood industry is something I don’t see any of those small boys you named to come close to that. Guarantee Arjun Varun Ranbir will start playing more multicast movies as time moves forward. Guarantee non of them can do 25 years and still do Solo movies on their shoulders.
Superb I am surprised only with 1200 screens and in non holiday its amazing power of King Khan
Excellent movie and superb acting by SRK and alia. But there is one major flaw, director showed alia childhood has tragedy that her parents abondon her hence she goes behind other boy friends and leave them before they get due to fear. But in real scenarios, most girls living in cities don’t go through this…. They purposefully maintain different boyfriends without committing to any so that they can enjoy their life free of cost. This is reality.
Shivaay is actuly manipulated box office collection this is the exact collection
@death rangers sadakchaap dancers r those who dont know how to dance and do chinta chita in roads not classy dance no.s like bang bang bang and Dhoom again…
And coming to opening day and weekends ,everyone know your joker’s aukaad… First go and break ranbir and sushant’s opening record…
MD’s weekend was still better than makkhi’s much appreciated movie BABY and Rejected movie of ur “joker” do 20 cr. In lifetime (Less than op. Of K3 ,Agneepath and bang bang)…
Btw ur fav site BOI (whose asslickers makkhians r) Declared 2.0 as a Megastar Rajnikant movie not makkhi movie now go and abuse BOI double faced people….
Kahaani 2 wil b more interesting than artificial actor srkay dear dadaji
What about overseas collection…
20 cr. Opening
Salman ?
Hrithik ?
Srk ?
Aamir ?
Ajay ?
Ranbir ?
Varun ?
Even ,Sushant ?
Guess who is missing?
Hint :He fans call him non holiday king….
@ myanmar yangon..dude what do you smoke…whatever it is..come outof your ass and do it
I said it people were ignoring my comment on twitter. When 2 sets of Fans were bashing Ajay Shivaay I told Akki fans that these Teesra fans they are supporting hate Akshay way more than Ajay fans to be candid many Ajay fans have no problem with Akshay only that his fans just jump in any conversation and Starr bashing Ajay. Now the real picture is coming out. This is not even a Srk movie but look how they are bashing Akshay now comparing Airlift with clash against DZ.
I think its because of shahrukh khan and nothing else but from monday everything will depwnd on wom
Superstar Alia Bhatt
Films 8
Success 6
Meaty roles in 6 of them
Superb performance in all of them except debut film
She has managed to gain complete mileage from all her hits unlike stars like sonakshi sonam Jacqueline who despite being part of 200cr blockbusters nvr made it to A list
33 Crores in 3 days is 3300% more than the EPIC CULT CLASSIC ALL TIME BLOCBUSTER FILM EVER – “MARIGOLD” (LIFETIME 1 CRORE)…
ROFL…
Too Much Fun…!!!
owsm movie..the bst prt of the movie was the simplicity of script n the top notch performance by the actors…i prsnly like the small examples given by srkto alia to make her understand the lyf…….no lrger then lyf dialogs only practicl things which is easyn simpl to undrstand….i wishi could also hv a lyf coach asalia do
One of my frnd went to watch dear dadaji …he was welcmed by an empty theatre…power of srkay
Baap of fake acting is playing it safe…..movie flops…gay was nt playing the main lead
if hit….gayz presence helpd the movie..
I am sure if it had under performed or collections were low the same retards would have called it as Aalia’s movie.
