De De Pyaar De 2 box office collection update. Ajay Devgn delivers a solid ₹9.45 crore opening in India as the rom com sequel draws families back to theatres.
De De Pyaar De 2 Box Office Collection: A Promising Start
The sequel to the 2019 hit has kicked off with an impressive ₹9.45 crore net opening in India. Released on November 14, 2025 across more than 5,000 screens, the film posted strong day one figures despite lacking a holiday advantage or special pricing offers. The nationwide gross including taxes is estimated to cross ₹11 crore.
The film opened against heavy competition from titles like The Taj Story and Kantara Chapter 1 (Hindi). Even with the crowded release calendar, early occupancy numbers and healthy advance bookings indicate strong curiosity among family and rom com audiences.
Why Audiences Connected With De De Pyaar De 2
Familiar Characters With New Situations
The sequel continues the story of Ashish and Ayesha as they navigate a new phase in their relationship. Their visit to Ayesha’s family sets up a series of awkward and humorous encounters that push the story in a fresh direction. The dynamic between Ajay Devgn, Rakul Preet Singh and R Madhavan is one of the elements that viewers have been praising online.
Strong Performances Across the Cast
Ajay Devgn’s timing, R Madhavan’s grounded presence and Rakul Preet Singh’s energy hold the film together. The supporting cast adds to the flow of the narrative and several performances have been singled out in audience reactions for their humor and relatability.
Family Friendly Appeal
The film’s tone makes it a good pick for both young viewers and older audiences. Social reactions have highlighted its clean humor, emotional balance and easygoing storytelling. These qualities have helped the film gain positive word-of-mouth from evening shows onward.
How The Opening Compares With Similar Films
The ₹9.45 crore opening places De De Pyaar De 2 slightly behind the first film yet higher than several other non holiday releases led by Ajay Devgn. The difference underscores the audience’s continuing interest in lighthearted entertainers, even when they arrive without festival support or aggressive ticket offers.
Compared with big scale action releases, the number is modest, but the rom com genre usually works on word-of-mouth rather than front loaded openings. Trade watchers consider the day one collection a solid base for the weekend.
Challenges And Competition
The film entered a busy box office window and still managed to draw strong footfalls in evening shows. Critics have reacted differently, with some appreciating its cheerful tone and others finding the plot predictable. Even so, the advance ticketing numbers show that the audience response has been more encouraging than the critic response.
The post pandemic shift in viewing habits also adds pressure on mid sized films, but the sequel’s performance suggests that the family audience segment still turns up for accessible, comedy driven stories.
Weekend And Long Term Outlook
Industry estimates suggest that the film can reach the ₹28 crore to ₹32 crore range by the end of the weekend if the current trend holds. Consistent weekday business and family viewer retention will determine whether it can cross the ₹100 crore mark over its lifetime run. If festive closures in schools and colleges continue through the week, the film may see better than expected repeat visits and group bookings.
