Dear Zindagi Worldwide - Highest Alia Bhatt Starrer
Dear Zindagi is highest Worldwide opening for Alia Bhatt with its gross is around 70 crore. It is the the biggest Worldwide opening of Alia Bhatt which is surprising as she has many hits and you would not expect a film like Dear Zindagi to top all. But this is the Shahrukh Khan factor even with a extended guest role. The heroes she has worked with before are the younger ones so despite hits, the grossers have not come. Not that Dear Zindagi is a grosser but for its genre its a strong Worldwide number. The Overseas business clocked an impressive $3.5 million going near $4 million if we count the early release in US / Canada. Gulf and US / Canada were excellent. The top worldwide grossers for Alia Bhatt are as follows.
1. Dear Zindagi - 70 crore apprx
2. 2 States - 66.92 crore
3. Kapoor & Sons - 53.74 crore
4. Udta Punjab - 51.68 crore
5. Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania - 50.09 crore
6. Shaandaar - 47.23 crore
7. Student Of The Year - 39.91 crore
8. Highway - 22.50 crore
Overall Dear Zindagi has a good weekend across the World and remains to be seen where it goes in the long run as on weekdays the Shahrukh Khan factor will start to drop out of the equation.
The Alternative HITS - Barfi TOP

There is a different type of Hit brewing in the Hindi film industry lately. These films dont find much appreciation across the country but find huge appreciation concentrated at handfull of centres and most of these centres are the biggest in the country. The average ticket price in these centres is now high enough to get a hit even though footfalls are not high though of course the cost of these films also has to be under 50 crore, prefrebaly 25-35 crore to be a Hit though 50 crore can also be recovered.
Barfi the biggest hit out of these went to another level and even crossed 100 crore nett though that was through clever distribution which would have added 8-10 crore. Still the film going that far was a bit of fluke and this won't be repeated very often. It could have also been due to the presence of a star like Ranbir Kapoor but normally these types dont really work with the target audience with starcasts and examples are many from Haider to Bombay Velvet to Dil Dhadakne Do to Baar Baar Dekho. Below are a list of HIT films (only HITS listed) which have a 90% apprx contribution from multiplexes and around 60-65% business is coming from Mumbai and Suburbs, Pune, Delhi NCR / Chandigarh, Hyderbad, Bangalore and Kolkata. .
1. Barfi - 1,06,14,00,000
2. Piku - 77,78,00,000
3. Kapoor & Sons - 71,17,00,000
4. Neerja - 69,91,00,000
5. Pink - 63,83,00,000
6. Queen - 56,38,00,000
7. Kahaani - 53,74,00,000
8. Badlapur - 49,62,00,000
9. Kai Po Che - 48,58,00,000
10. Vicky Donor - 37,31,00,000
What is also common with all these films is that they only have a life as long as they are on the theatres as all were disasters on televisions.

This is because of no all India appreciation and the little audience which does appreciate have seen them in the theatres.
