Ajay Devgn’s latest romantic comedy De De Pyaar De 2 has kicked off its box office journey on a strong note, earning ₹9.45 crore on Day 1. Despite competition and a regular working day, the film managed to attract solid footfall in metros and tier-1 cities. Evening and night shows saw a noticeable rise in occupancy, driven by family audiences and fans of Ajay Devgn, who returns in a light-hearted, romantic avatar. The film’s opening figure is being viewed as a promising start for a sequel in the rom-com genre, especially in the current box office climate.
Early audience reactions highlight the film’s humour, emotional depth, and chemistry between the leads as key positives. Featuring Ajay Devgn, Rakul Preet Singh and Tabu, De De Pyaar De 2 continues the flavour of the original while adding new twists to the story. Trade analysts believe that if the positive word-of-mouth sustains, the film is likely to see a healthy jump over the weekend. With Saturday and Sunday bookings looking encouraging, the movie is expected to comfortably cross the ₹25–30 crore mark in its opening weekend. For now, the strong ₹9.45 crore Day 1 collection sets a solid foundation for De De Pyaar De 2 to emerge as one of the notable rom-com successes of the year.
