The director actor pair of Sujoy Ghosh and Vidya Balan has earlier given us Kahaani movie which was an out and out thriller where Vidya Balan palyed the character of a woman seeking to avenge the death of her beloved husband by faking a pregnancy and gaining sympathy over it. The movie which she co acted along with a host of actors from the Bengali film industry, received an all round applause from the audience way back in 2012.

It was an inevitability that the movie will have a face off with Sharukh Khan’s Dear Zindegi. While Kahaani 2’s opening weekend collection was Rs 16.97 crore, Dear Zindagi collected a whopping Rs 32.50 crores in its opening weekend. The build up and success of the prequel had raised expectations about Kahaani 2. Most audience found Kahaani 2 to be a predictable one in it’s second half.

On the other hand Alia Bhat and Sharukh Khan starrer Dear Zindagi is ruling the box office consistently for the second straight week. Veteran film trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to twitter and enumerated the collections done by each movie.

If one compares the collection of Kahaani 2 and Dear Zindagi the difference may not be that stark at the end of tenth day. Dear Zindagi is doing well among all the multiplex audience. It had a limited release of over 1235 screens. Kahaani 2’s troubles may further increase by the next week end when it have to share screens with Befikre starring Ranveer Singh and Vaani Kapoor.
