Dear Zindagi had a good first week grossing 46.75 crore nett in its first week. The film had a good weekend of 32.50 crore for the type of film it is and the weekday business has shown drops but that is because the film got a high weekend for the type of film it is. Also among its better circuits is Mumbai and which does tend to fall faster than other circuits. The initial has ensured a good first week number far ahead of similar films. The first week collections are the 13th best of the year but if we look at Worldwide then it is the 7th highest of the year and approaching the 100 crore mark Worldwide. 

As far as domestic circuits are concerned then Mysore is leading the way with excellent business of almost 5.25 crore, West Bengal is next best as it has crossed 3 crore and it is followed by Tamil Nadu / Kerala, Nizam / Andhra and Mumbai. Mumbai has grossed 14 crore nett in its first week. The other circuits are less and are either average or low. The lifetime business of the film will be determined by what happens on Friday and then how big the jump is on Saturday. The film will have consumed a lot of its limited audience in the first week and it could see a fall on Friday. The main new release Kahaani 2 is also aimed at the same markets which are the multiplexes. Not only multiplexes but also the same circuits as the only multiplex region where Dear Zindagi is low is North and going by results of Kahaani (2012) that will also find it tough going in North India.
