Dear Zindagi had solid second day growth of around 30% as it grossed around 11.25 crore nett taking its two day total to 20 crore nett apprx. This is a very good second day number considering that the film opened well due to the presence of Shahrukh Khan. The fact that Saturday is the main day for premium multiplexes also helped its cause. The growth on Sunday will be less as the cinemas where it is scoring don't collect well on the Sunday late evening and night shows. Still it will be a 32 crore nett type weekend and that is a big figure for this film. The film managed to do better in North India than day one but it is South, Mumbai (Exc. Gujarat / Saurashtra) and West Bengal where the film is faring well. The collections for the first two days are as follows.
Friday - 8,75,00,000
Saturday - 11,25,00,000
TOTAL - 20,00,00,000
The film is a success but still the film is a content film so it has to do more than just ride on the star pull of Shahrukh Khan as the content has to also work and for that Monday is crucial. Monday will tell if the film has found appreciation with that limited audience of premium multiplexes in the metros.
