De De Pyaar De 2 is one of the most-awaited films of 2025. The sequel to the 2019 film, De De Pyaar De, the rom-com released in cinemas yesterday. The music videos, trailer, and teaser have already created anticipation among fans because the plot follows an age-gap romance.
De De Pyaar De 2 Falters On Day One
De De Pyaar De 2 is looking to collect Rs. 9.45 crore net on its first day at the Indian box office. This is, of course, a low first day, but then all things considered, it isn’t all that bad.
The non-action films have found it tough to record initial post-pandemic, unless there is hit music or star value. Ajay Devgn is a big star, but doesn’t have a big initial draw, and of course, hit music was missing here. The best first-day figure for a film in this zone recently is Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar, which collected Rs. 15 crore, with some holiday support, a younger star suitable to the genre, and hit music. In this context, this first day number doesn’t seem all that bad.
The main disappointment stems from the fact that the first day is 10% less than what the original did back in 2019 (10.41 crore), which isn’t ideal. One would expect a sequel to grow, at least in terms of opening, as there is the usual inflation and added recognition from the appreciation of the first film. Though even there, one has to excuse the fact that those were better times at the box office in general.
The business remained low throughout the day, though there was somewhat better movement in the later shows relative to some other films that opened in this range. Whether this movement is due to a pick up in business or simply the audience for the film being in evening shows, will be known by how it fares tomorrow.
Now weekend jumps hold the key.
De De Pyaar De: Plot
De De Pyaar De 2 follows the story of Ashish (Ajay Devgn) and his younger girlfriend, Ayesha (Rakul Preet Singh), as Ashish tries to win over her family, who are closer to his own age.
The plot thickens with the introduction of R. Madhavan as Ayesha’s father, who creates comedic conflict. Learning the age of Ashish, Ayesha’s parents introduce her to a new suitor, much younger than Ashish. The new suitor is played by Meezaan Jafri. With his entry, the plot takes a hilarious turn. This film explores themes of age-gap love, family acceptance, and generational conflict.
