The Weekend Roar: 'De De Pyaar De 2' Finds Its Groove, Soaring Past Initial Expectations!

Ah, the magic of a good old-fashioned romantic comedy—or, you know, a sequel to one. 'De De Pyaar De 2' seems to be hitting just the right notes with audiences, proving that sometimes, familiarity breeds not contempt, but rather, a solid box office take. And honestly, for a film that just landed on screens, its opening weekend trajectory is quite the conversation starter.

It kicked off on a Friday, June 28th, with a respectable, if not earth-shattering, Rs 8.50 crore. That’s a decent start, no doubt, but cinema-goers, you could say, were just warming up. Then came Saturday, and oh, what a difference a day makes! The numbers, in truth, painted a far more vibrant picture, almost as if the film itself decided to lean into the weekend spirit. The collections jumped rather significantly, pulling in an estimated Rs 12.50 crore.

This kind of Saturday surge isn't just a random fluctuation; it speaks volumes about word-of-mouth, doesn't it? It means people are seeing it, liking it, and telling their friends, 'Hey, you should check this out!' All told, after just two days, 'De De Pyaar De 2' has managed to amass a cool Rs 21 crore. And frankly, with Sunday still ahead, one can't help but wonder if this rom-com is truly set to surprise us all.

It's interesting to note the context here. The original 'De De Pyaar De' also enjoyed a commendable run, though it didn't have the benefit of a holiday release. This time around, with Ajay Devgn leading the charge once more, flanked by the charismatic Rakul Preet Singh and the fresh face of Saiee Manjrekar, the sequel seems to be carving its own path. Anshul Sharma takes the directorial reins, while Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg handle the production, continuing the narrative on age-gap relationships that first resonated with so many. And who knows? Perhaps that resonant theme, combined with some genuine laughs, is exactly what’s bringing the crowds back to the theaters this weekend.
