‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’ completed 8 years and this is the movie that inspired a bunch of people. It is one of the very few movies based on road trips. The film portrays the story of three old friends who reunite for a bachelor party trip. ZNMD featured Abhay Deol, Farhan Akhtar, Hrithik Roshan, Kalki Koechlin, and Katrina Kaif. How can we forget the “Diamond Biscuit” song! Wasn’t it hilarious? Also, Farhan’s dearest “Bagwati” and the “La Tomatina” festival in Spain.
And on the 8th year anniversary, the ZNMD stars struck nostalgia and threw major throwbacks to the times they were on the beautiful journey. Abhay Deol penned a really emotional message describing how the movie inspired and changed the lives of a few people. He took to his Instagram to share a picture which is a still from the movie, and captioned it,
It’s been 8 years since we made this film. It’s the one movie that had people come up to me and say, “I saw this and I quit my job” or, “I saw this and made peace with an old friend,” to “I took a break from work” and even, “I got a divorce!” It inspired people to follow their dreams, to take action, to accept who and where they are. I couldn’t ask for more! It was an honor and a privilege to work with you Zoya Akhtar.

Farhan Akhtar had an amazing bond with a bag in the film named Bagwati. They both had comical chemistry and managed to take place in people’s hearts. Farhan Akhtar took to his Instagram and shared the poster of ZNMD. He wrote a heart-breaking caption about the relationship he and Bagwati had. Also, he mentioned how ZNMD is a successful film because the audience gave it much more love than the box office.
He captioned his post:
8 years since Bagwati moved on 💔 .. but I guess the life has to the move ons the somehow… Love to all amigos and amigas .. you who made the film possible and you who made the film a success in more ways than just box office can quantify. Lots of love and a big hug.

Since Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara was a big hit and managed to take place in the hearts of the audience, the sequel of the film is very much in demand. But, Zoya Akhtar clarified that she is in the search of a good script. Also, she loved working with Hrithik Roshan and wants to work with him again. Zoya said that she shares a very strong bond with all the actors in the film and she will not make the sequel of ZNMD just for the sake of money. Her last directorial film ‘Gully Boy’ dropped last year got a very overwhelming response. The film starred Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in lead roles.
Hope to see the sequel of Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara very soon!
