“It’s been 8 years since I 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 @zoieakhtar,” he wrote in an Instagram post, sharing a still from the movie. Zoya also shared a picture of the three leads from the film on her Instagram Stories, writing, “8 years and still tripping.” 

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara told the story of three friends who reunite for a bachelor party trip in Spain. After growing apart over the years, they bond again over multiple adventures. They learn the importance of love in life, finding closures, and accepting the harsh truths that they have tried to hide away from. The film was a hit and is one of the very few road trip movies produced in India.
