mid-budget movies don’t have a chance at the box office. That has been the industry’s belief going by films’ performance over the past six months. But the success of Zara Hatke Zara Bachke (ZHZB) has busted this myth, as it runs strong even in its fourth week. The Vicky Kaushal and Sara Ali Khan-starrer has reportedly earned R80 crore, its run unhindered even by the release of magnum opus Adipurush. The leading man admits he didn’t foresee its success, especially in today’s uncertain times. “When the film was releasing, we were quite nervous. We wondered, will people give us a chance? We were told only big-scale spectacles are working. Our film was about a middle-class family from Indore; there was no action or big-scale extravaganza. But then, its success reminds us that the central idea—of the joys and sorrows of a middle-class family—was powerful. It reiterates that we must follow our instinct,” he smiles.
One of the biggest charms of the Laxman Utekar-directed romantic comedy is the chemistry between the lead pair. “With Sara, you don’t need any ice-breaking. You meet her and instantly feel like you’ve known her a long time. She is such a pure soul.”
