‘Dear Zindagi’ has collected Rs 8.75 crore on its opening day at the box office, making it the 14th highest opening day of 2016. The film is lower than Hrithik Roshan’s Mohenjo Daro and ahead of films like Ki and Ka.
Released on 1200 screens, ‘Dear Zindagi’ has managed a fairly good opening total inspite of being a niche film, holding appeal only towards a small section of the audience in metro cities. Most of the business has come from these 4-5 cities, with others taking a better than expected opening due to Shah Rukh Khan’s presence.
In comparison, the opening day is higher than Deepika Padukone’s Piku – which collected 5.7 crore on Day 1. It’s at around the same level as ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’.

Exhibitors said occupancy through out the day was 35% in 1200 screens I don’t think this figure adds up. Real figure should be 6-7 crs. RED CHILLIES CALCULATOR WORKING OVERTIME.
Expected a little more bt still great collections. I loved this movie.
The collection is very good. SRK – the one we loved and seen him growing as an ‘actor’ – is awakening. Fan, Dear Zindagi and Raees is like striking the gold for Sharukh Khan.
Anand L Rai words was worth noting when he quotes “I want my actors to discover something within themselves.”
So we request Srk to take time for Anand L Rai’s movie and make the best out of it.
All 3 movies of Akki this year – Airlift, HF3 and Rustom opened bigger than Dear Zindagi
Akki >>>>> Overrated Srk
lot of expectations and has had a good start.
Srk fans before the release of Dear Dadaji
Indicine you are so wrong this time, it’s srk movie it will open 15cr minimum, wait nd watch
Srk fans after release of Dear Dadaji;
It’s a Niche movie
It release in only 1200 screen so its a great collection
It’s a Masterpiece and Oscar winning movie with Oscar winning performance of Haklu, Indian audience is crap they don’t know which is good movie, they only like crap movies like Bajrangi Bhaijaan, PK, Sultan, 3 Idiots, Neerja etc…..LOL
So failed 2 cross double digit despite SRK 40 days shooting.
Only befikre will be a clean hit before dangal .
People who are Calling it good opening just because lesser screens should understand that this much business is only because of high ticket price in high end multiplexes.
Those who are saying collections are very less its only on 1200 screens
So take maths lessons again if u want to compare with movies released on 3000 or more screens
And those who haven’t seen the movie srk role is of 25-30 min
5 min in ist half jst before the interval and around 20 mins in second half
SRK shot for 40 days: Opening 9 crs and akshay shot his evry film in 40 days :opening 13-15 evrytime.
Dear Zindegi priduce Bolywood a new era. In todays bolywood we had various thaughtful movie. But DZ shown how to speak thaughtful yet in simple manner. And both Aila ans Sharukh Khan act splended. Sharukh we want such type of acting more and more from you.
Great direction by Gauri Shindey.
That’s called loss of craze of srk
Flop
@ tiger, abe half mind how much was screen count of Udta punjab ?it was 2000 +.and DZ screen count is only 1200.And see the difference in collection.its only 1.25 crore .Now please tell me whose opening is better ?
@All akki fans please tell me screen count of ur stars movies which released this year,then talk about first day opening.
Some lallutards were expecting 40 crs opening day in 1200 screens.. Two minutes silence for them..lol.
@Navina.at this age even psychatrist can’t help u.Why don’t u buy a ticket for Pluto and save urself from this world which has SRK.
@Jolly,but why always 13–15?U guys don’t know how to count after that?
Those who are saying that collection is great because screen count is only 1200, to all those Idiots in 1200 screen the occupancy is only 40%, even if Srk is not in movie the occupancy will be 25-30% then who much Haklu presence add only 10-15%…..LOL
Salman movie gets 75-80% occupancy in higher screen on it’s opening day, on the other hand Haklu gets 40% occupancy even with low screen count (Remember even FAN had only 50% occupancy in it’s 1st day, which is suppose to be for his 3.7 Billions fans )….LOL
To all Kabadiwala’s and Dabbewala’s stop calling him Global star, he don’t deserve this tag….
@Sultana Fan,nobody asked ur opinion.So keep ur gyan to urself.
Same $hitty predictions, same result and same ran di rona with excuses !!!!!!!! :p
I really don’t understand this, according to Kabadiwala’s and Dabbawala’s, Haklu have 3.7 Billion fans, and before release of Dear Dadaji they all are claiming that they will watch Dear Dadaji only for Srk, now the 1st day collection of movie is 8.5cr, out of which 4cr is because of Alia (according to Indicine), so Haklu presence only add 4cr extra, so it clears that his fans only barks on internet but never watch his movie in theater……If Haklu have such fans then why he need enemy……LOL
Alia’s sexy pussy hole is always wet and ready for fucking. Her milky balls are great for sucking. Her dirty shit hole is nice for licking.
