Gauri Shinde’s debut movie “English Vinglish” had received a lot of appreciation from people & this had made them curious for “Dear Zindagi”, her 2nd venture.
The film was in spotlight due to association of popular actors SRK and Alia Bhatt. The promos and the teasers further intensified the buzz.
There were predictions by trade experts which stated that the film would get a decent opening and wouldn’t be as grand as SRK’s other movies. However, the predictions seem to be wrong, as the first day collections have taken the box office by storm.
