Plot
editZindagi 50-50 revolves around three different stories. Zindagi means life. Sometimes it's fun, and sometimes it's a curse, but it's just a point of view. People pray to God for happiness so that they can enjoy their lives. But God says that he had already given a life to them, to enjoy all the happiness. It has been said that the way you ask questions about your life, it answers you in the same manner.
"Zindagi 50:50" is the same story of such questions and answers: it's a story of Rupa (a housewife), Madhuri (a prostitute), and Naina (a struggling actress). Rupa's husband, Birju (an auto driver), has a dream of getting a house. To fulfill his dream, Rupa breaks all the limits of her life. To complete her dream of house, CR Lele (a government servant) pushes her in a dark side of her life, where she gets the house, but also gets a smirch on her respect.
Zindagi 50:50 is a story of the special dreams of a common man. And to fulfill those dreams, he has to struggle a lot, but sometimes they get it easily, and sometimes he has to lose everything. "Zindagi 50:50" has this same feeling of losing and getting.

Prasanna D Zore for Rediff.com has given 2/5 stars and says Zindagi 50–50 makes a brave but half-hearted effort to depict the dark cruelty that surrounds ordinary lives of three women. It fails miserably as sleaze—of language as well as skin—overtakes the proceedings.[4] In Short, The movie is ok for a one time watch.
This movie earned 20–40 million in opening.
