Zinda was released on 13 January 2006, and has been identified as an unauthorized adaptation of the South Korean film Oldboy, which itself is an official adaptation of the Japanese manga of the same name. Show East, the producers of Oldboy, who had already sold the remake rights to DreamWorks in 2004 had initially expressed legal concerns, but no legal action was taken as the studio had shut down. The film was a box-office flop, grossing ₹17.6 crore worldwide against a budget of ₹13 crore.
