Dear Zindagi has opened well at 40-45% on average though it is a limited release across 800 theatres apprx meaning will reach a little over 1000 screens. The release which has not gone to places where the the film would not get an audience keeps the average occupancy up. The Shahrukh Khan factor has worked for the film to give it a good starting point and it remains to see if the film can go further. The film could actually post the sort of first day that may not need growth for a good weekend but the growth has to be there if the film is to get some sort of run at the box office. Even in the morning shows there is a big gap between the high end multiplexes and other multiplexes as the high end ones have opened double the other multiplexes.






The director's last film English Vinglish (2012) did around 39 crore nett and found limited appreciattion, a sort of smaller version of the Queen and Neerja types which themselves are very limited. This film has taken a far bigger start than any of those films but eventually there are only a certain number of people who watch these films and despite the presence of Shahrukh Khan it will find it hard to go outside its limited audience.



The opening of the film is no doubt a plus, if we look at morning occupancy it can be compared to a film like Fan obviously there is a huge difference in the release size but the occupancy is similar, places like Mumbai and Bangalore could even be higher in terms of occupancy.
