Shah Rukh Khan and Alia Bhatt might be dancing in joy right now because their film Dear Zindagi has entered the 100 crore club in the beginning of week two! Producer of the film, Karan Johar proudly tweeted the same as he shared the good news on Twitter. Just earlier, we had shared the news of the film set to enter the 50 crs club on the ninth day. However, looks like even before it crosses 50 crores at the box office, the film has managed to gross 100 crores. The score includes collections from overseas as well as domestic market.
Earlier, Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh, had tweeted saying that the film will easily surpass the Rs 50 cr benchmark after today’s collections. So far, the film has raked in Rs 49.25 cr as it entered the second week at the box office. “#DearZindagi [Week 2] Fri 2.25 cr. Total: ₹ 49.25 cr. India biz… Will cross ₹ 50 cr mark today [Sat],” stated the trade guru. KJo shared the good news on social media as he proudly stated that the film has entered the 100 crore club. Within it’s first week, the film has surpassed Highway, English Vinglish and Wazir’s lifetime collection!

You heard that right. Dear Zindagi is now the fifth highest overseas grosser of the year 2016. As we stated earlier, the film will soon enter the 50 crore club. In fact, by tomorrow, we’ll receive numbers that the filmmakers will be happy to see. Having produced with just 30 crores, the film has already become a hit. However, that is just the overseas total. In domestic market too, the film has done a very good performance at the box office. Perhaps with the second opening, the film will emerge as a hit.

What are your thoughts, BollywoodLifers? Stay tuned to this space and we’ll let you know on the trade updates of the film.
Conspiracy theory 1 – Jehangir Khan has fallen for Kaira
If we go by Jug’s earlier theory, the chair only creaks when you are confused about love, then that means he is confused about his feelings for his last patient. So has Jug started falling for his much younger patient?
Conspiracy theory 2 – Jehangir needs to find a better ‘chair’, and it is not Kaira
Jugs earlier says that you should keep on checking out every chair before you select the best one. So going by the assumption that he has feelings for Kaira, does the ‘creaking of the chair’ mean that she is not the right chair for him? Well, then we must say… good decision to not have any relationship with her!
Conspiracy theory 3 – The chair actually has a problem
Throwing all conspiracy theories in the air, maybe that chair is really faulty and Jehangir Khan should get it replaced asap, before it breaks his or some other poor soul’s back. People come here to mend their minds, not break backs, man!
Conspiracy theory 4 – Kaira hasn’t fully recovered
In the earlier sessions when Kaira checks out the chair, it creaked. It was at that point where she was going through her mental turmoil, and was at her lowest phase. And when finally Jehangir sits, it’s creaking again. So does that mean Kaira will not get over obsession of Jug and may go into relapse? Terrifying to say the least…
Conspiracy theory 5 – Jehangir needs therapy
When the movie starts Kaira had a problem, Jug didn’t, so the chair creaked for her and not for him. Towards the end it creaked for him, so maybe it’s time for the therapist to find another therapist to cure his problem.
