Dear Zindagi has shown excellent growth on its second day, collecting Rs 11.25 crore at the box office on Saturday. The growth in business is around 28% from Friday, which is better than most films that have released this year.
Growth from Friday to Saturday of films that showed good trend this year:
- Pink – 77%
- Neerja – 62%
- Dear Zindagi – 28%
- Rustom – 16%
- Airlift – 18%
- Ki and Ka – 15%
The growth that ‘Dear Zindagi’ has shown is probably the best of the year so far, because Pink and Neerja did not take a big enough initial because it did not feature a major bankable star.
The level of business in the first two days is similar to Alia Bhatt’s last film ‘Udta Punjab’, which collected Rs 10.05 crore on Friday, 11.25 crore on Saturday and 12.5 crore on Sunday. The first weekend business of the two films could be similar. Monday will decide where the film is doing, as Udta Punjab collected 4.5 crore on Monday and finished with lifetime business of 60 crore.
IndicineLBO: We expect ‘Dear Zindagi’ to wrap with lifetime box office collections of Rs 65 crore.
Dear Zindagi Box Office Collections (Official)
- Friday – 8.75 crore
- Saturday – 11.25 crore
- Total – 20 crore
Dear Zindagi Trade Estimates (based on our sources, more accurate figures will be posted after the end of the first week)
- Friday – 9 crore
- Saturday – 10.5 crore
- Total – 19.5 crore
Oh ! Sorry @indicine it is my question for Q & A session but mistickly type here.
Makers should touch the feet of SRK thrice a day.
With his presence, DZ will be able to put a ‘respectable’ total on B.O. else this trash doesn’t even deserve to cross 20 cr.
If we subtract SRK from DZ, the later would have been wrapped up within 30 cr for sure.
60-70 cr is now sure.
Kahaani2’s response will decide if Dear Zindagi can make it 100 cr

Loved the above!!! SRK bigger than Amitabh officially from Indicine!!
@Chuhe 1:33 pm : Hope, you illiterate Gawaar did compare the screen count of both the movies.
Did you ..? Or this ‘too much fun’ is coming from somewhere else (probably, from a ‘male’ macho RAT with whom you partied last night).
@indicine, is the growth because of the star power of the global dhobi king or the content of the film?
Please at be honest enough to stick to your own theory after such a mediocre opening for a film starring a so-called of top three.
Will cross 75cr
After such a low opening, just 28% growth from Friday means it is not going Neerja or Pink way in any means.
Sonam Kapoor >>> Alia + Dhobi King
Still…will not cross 100 cross…as content is not much good & truely speaking 65 or 70 crore collection lis not big achievement for Shahrukh starrer even though he is not a lead…
Lol
Flop bcoz of 80cr club King Pluto Boy
@saif sheikh 1:33 pm,
Ok!
But do u know Rustom 6 days collection >>> Fan’s lifetime collection!Oh sorry Fan is a niche movie Naa.Then what’s ur take on Rustom.Was it a commercial movie???
Just bcz I like SRK & respect him doesn’t mean I can’t bash him & his movies.
GIVE RESPECT TAKE RESPECT.
#Death Ranger
In the movie…
#SRK’s every dialogue is a Great Quote!
Love you…#KING_KHAN!
This collection is the supporting evidence for this movie winning peoples’ heart around the world. Awesome Movie,awesome casting. Much love Alia and king SRK sir.

Abey tihari dweller Dear Dadaji is collecting this much bcoz of Alia not bcoz of Pluto Boy…! Pluto Boys content(less) rich mahacrap from April proves that when he does content films his jobless fans arent interested bcoz they know he always overact whether it be masala or content rich…!
Film will collect 80+ and verdict will be superhit and u don’t why Bhaitards and Ajay fans r comparing This movie collection with sultan ..I mean 1%. Bhi common sense ni h
That’s what star power is all abut…..with just 1200 screens n no holiday weekend ….it did better then Mohenjo-Daro and Shivay !!
#SRK ??
@Tashan 2:37,
For DZ 100 cr is out of reach as of now bcz of no open weeks & less screens but it can do 60 -70 cr depending on the trend it shows on weekdays.

If we subtract Alia from Dear Dadaji then Pluto Boys second Content(less) Rich movie of the yr wouldnt even have crossed 30cr lifetime…!
Alia with shahid kapoor 10cr opening with 2000+ screens (multiplex+single screen)
Alia with Shahrukh Khan 8.75cr opening with 1200 screens (only multiplex)
Now lets see,
Katrina with Criminal Khan – 1cr opening Yuvvraj
Katrina with King Khan – 15cr opening with clash JTHJ
Chameleon srk fans are saying srk factor helps it to boost on saturday whilst they forgot alia gave 10 cr opening wid star shahid. Actually all srk fans are expecting something like 20 cr or double digits opening however they fell flat on their like (srk deformity) nose. Into the core they knew it that srk stardom is gradually descending downhill. Its gud to hear frm same stupid srk fan ‘those who used to compair him wid megastar bhai n sir amir now started confronting wid ajay devgan last flick shivaay. Its gud’ late but they awaken at the end and realize megastar bhai and aamir reside on apex. M not patronizing nyone here but srk cannot compete wid bhai and aamir’ it is what it is. Feel gud and truth salman and amir bhai came before srk whers as srk came subsequently last in this industry as teesra khan consisquently he will remain as TEESRA KHAN. Thanku indicine?
@Syed,
Why r u making a fool out of urself by comparing a legend Shahenshah of Bollywood Mr.Big B who is here in the industry for more than 4 decades with SRK who has just completed 25 yrs.Ur comment is just baised towards BIG B & it also shows the hatred u have for him.
U know Big b is the idol of ur idol so plz show him some respect just as ur idol does.

In Dear Dadaji our Pluto Boy played the role of a young 65 yr old PSYChiatrist… No doubt he was giving his billions of jobless fans a subtle hint of not to watch this mahacrap but instead save your handouts n visit a PSYChiatrist coz even he knows you all need urgent help…!
Dear Dadaji was always destined to flop bcoz noone was interested in watching some perverted incest affair between a dadaji aka pluto boy n his great grandaughter Alia…!
@sasha 2:30 pm,
Very Good Taste!Sab Budget ka hi khel hai!I think the budget was on a higher side.
But do u know it was HGOTY.

Mr tiger,the so called real king doesn’t know the difference between a niche film and massy entertainer,no of screens,limited appeal,only an illeterate person will talk like him.
Lifetime will be 70cr.
What’s wrong team indicine looks like u r very unhappy with this ? movie..
We shdnt compare it with #UdtaPaunjab.if u compare the growth between 2 movies thn u will get it.#dearZindagi has much better growth thn #UdtaPunjab.#DearZindagi will do in between 75-85cr n u must also include overseas business also.
Wow amazing growth ! Offbeat film, woman-centric, only 1200 screens and still it will be a good clean hit. Of course, King Khan’s presence has helped this film a lot, but don’t forget to praise the good marketing strategy, Gauri Shinde’s direction and Alia’s wonderful acting. I also loved Amit Trivedi’s album !
