Havent seen DDD so cant comment. Not interested either.

HR did favour to Zoya and Farhan by signing ZNMD, even thou he knew his role is boring. Farhan's role has all the meat. HR Didnt charge much. But friendship doesnt mean sucking.. simple. He said no to DDD and kareena followed.





but I'm glad he did znmd its 1 of his best films

🤡 Maybe because ZNMD had a better looking cast than DDD? 😆

Znmd was better movie than DDD in general too. The chemistry between HR kat was amazing. The roles of farhan HR Abhay were amazing , there friendship, the road trip everything was amazing. Bang bang tried to cash on HR and kat pair but it failed to create the magic.

I liked DDD not sure why it didnt work much... may be coz it was too long..🤔 and ZNMD was kind of more about friends...and DDD more about family bonding..so i guess youth connected with ZNMD more..🤔

Well to be honest DDD was a bore film when compare to ZNMD..I was super excited to watch this movie mainly coz of Zoya,PC and Ranveer-Anushka chemistry but i started gettind irritated in the middle of the movie..Farhan was almost absent in half of the movie and Dog part was irritating but still it was a decent movie with PC and Ranveer standout performers but I still can't convince myself to watch it again.
On the other hand I can still watch ZNMD as many times even after 6 yrs..Screen play and music was awsome.. The whole trio was brilliantly picturized..Kalki was amazing in her role...Katrina was the weakest link for me..I found her acting really forced but still she was tolerable and HR-Kat has some amazing chemistry..comedy was top notch and you just don't lose interest anywhere in the movie till the end

Music was better in ZNMD... probably ppl like more friendship films than family dramas..

the reason for low boxoffice of DDD is single screens which was a disaster from day 1. That took away 10 crs... would have been a semi-hit otherwise...

also hrithik n katrina are superstars...but then
if you compare hrithik and katrina, one expects ZNMD to do 150 crs, did it do it? NO😊

at the time of release only 1 film went over 150 and thats 3idiots😆

HR was coming 2 gigantic flops so i just wanted him to get a HIT tag or may be a 100cr if HR wasn't in a bad patch he would have delivered a 10cr opening atleast

DDD 1st week was 10cr more than ZNMD and still fell around 15cr less of its lifetime

I really liked DDD..and I thought it was a better made movie than ZNMD.
That being said, I also think with multiplex ticket prices being what they are (anything between 600-1800 in Mumbai) people have become very selective of what movies they go and see in theatres during the first weekend. (prices usually fall 20-30% after the first weekend).

So unless the WoM is really good people will just wait for the movie to come on TV and with 50" HD TVs and HD set top boxes the experience is even better than the movie theatres!

I have a feeling all multiplex oriented movies are facing this problem or will face this problem.

This is also one of the reasons why Masala/Massy/Single screen oriented movies are doing so much better!

DDD was not as funny as ZNMD. And the dog was really annoying. The direction was subtle in both films but DDD was more earnest and straight about things such as the rights of woman, which actually reduced the drama and the nuance. For example, in DDD the scene where Farhan's character tells Rahul Bose's character that his thinking that he gives permission to his wife to work so he is a good guy is flawed. There is nothing wrong with the scene but not much right either. Its too obvious if you know what I mean. Even chauvinists have moved on and are more nuanced than this.

I agree... I haven't seen the movie but when I heard of this scene I was disappointed for the same reasons...expected better and smarter from zoya.
