Gauri Shinde’s latest venture Dear Zindagi, which released on November 25, generated positive reviews from the audience and critics alike. The film that also stars Pakistani heartthrob Ali Zafar, alongside Alia Bhatt and Shah Rukh Khan, has raked in Rs 32.52 crores and becomes one of the top weekend openers of 2016 so far.
Though Zafar, who plays Alia’s love interest in the film, couldn’t take part in the film’s promotion due to the ongoing rift between Pakistan and India, his role in Dear Zindagi has received immense applause from fans on social media.
One of the many tweets in which fans have expressed their love for the star reads, “Ali Zafar’s rich baritone along with the refined mannerisms he brings to his character” whereas another tweet says, “Wow! What an appearance! U [Ali Zafar] should do more films.”
In a live streaming on Facebook to celebrate the film’s release, Zafar shared about his character, “Oh yes, Dear Zindagi has released today and my character’s name is Rumi. Also, Rumi is my favorite poet.”
The rock star also sang one of the songs ‘Tu Hi Tu’ from the film’s soundtrack that is originally sung by Arijit Singh.
Dubbed as a ‘unique take on urban relationships and modern day dating and love’, Dear Zindagi also features actors Angad Bedi, Kunal Roy Kapur and Aditya Roy Kapoor in prominent roles.
