De De Pyaar De 2 has wrapped up its first weekend, and the response has been quite interesting. DDPD 2 did not go all-out on Day 1, but the conversations slowly picked up, especially in the urban belt. Viewers are appreciating the fresh dynamic between Ajay Devgn, Rakul Preet Singh, and R. Madhavan, which is clearly helping the film find momentum.
The weekend graph shows a clear pattern — a slow start, a strong push, and a hopeful trajectory. And now, everything rests on how the weekdays unfold.
A Franchise That Comes With Expectations
The moment a sequel arrives, comparisons begin automatically. And De De Pyaar De 2 had to face the same. The first film was loved for its effortless humor and refreshing storyline, which meant the second installment naturally carried expectations.
While the opening wasn’t as explosive as one would expect from a franchise with a known brand value, the steady growth over the weekend indicates that the film is benefiting from positive word of mouth.
Urban audiences, in particular, have shown strong support. Evening shows on Saturday and Sunday reported a significant jump, which helped the film stay on track.

Now coming to the numbers. The film had a modest start on its opening Friday but saw a strong climb the next two days. The final weekend total comes close to what the first installment achieved back in 2019.
Here is the detailed breakdown of how the film performed across the first three days:
- Day 1 (Friday): Rs 9.45 crore
- Day 2 (Saturday): Rs 13.77 crore
- Day 3 (Sunday): Rs 15.21 crore
- Total Weekend 1: Rs 38.43 crore nett
This puts De De Pyaar De 2 almost in line with the first film’s opening weekend, which collected Rs 38.54 crore back in 2019. The closeness of these numbers shows that the sequel managed to recreate similar weekend energy, despite the change in the theatrical environment and increased competition.
Audience Word Of Mouth Is Working
The film’s biggest strength so far is its word of mouth. People who walked in without major expectations walked out pleasantly surprised. Ajay Devgn’s effortless comic timing, Madhavan’s charm, and Rakul Preet’s vibrant screen presence are pulling in families and youth alike.
Even on Sunday, where films usually show either stagnation or a minor push, De De Pyaar De 2 delivered a healthy jump. This clearly indicates strong acceptance, especially in metros and tier-1 cities.
How The First Weekend Sets Up The Weekdays
Now the crucial phase begins. Weekdays decide whether the film will emerge as a steady box office player or face the mid-week drop that many films fall victim to.
The film has done its part over the weekend. The team will now be hoping for minimal drops from Monday to Thursday. If the numbers stay decent, De De Pyaar De 2 can push toward a respectable lifetime total.
The franchise recall is helping. The performances are drawing praise. The content is relatable. And the weekend showed positive signs. Everything now depends on consistency.
Final Thoughts
De De Pyaar De 2 didn’t explode, but it didn’t disappoint either. It delivered a satisfactory Weekend 1 with a close match to the first film’s numbers from 2019. The upward swing on Saturday and Sunday shows a clear connection with the audience.
If the film manages to hold well on weekdays, it will turn into a solid performer for Ajay Devgn, Rakul Preet Singh, and R. Madhavan. The pace is set — now it’s all about maintaining the rhythm.
