Miranda Priestly’s return has arrived in India with style, confidence and a box office start strong enough to turn nostalgia into numbers. The Devil Wears Prada 2, led by Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt, wrapped up its first weekend at Rs. 16.10 crore gross in India, giving the 20th Century Studios sequel an impressive early push in cinemas.
The weekend itself unfolded with stable traction. After earning from paid previews and posting a solid opening day, the film added an estimated Rs. 5 crore on Saturday before collecting Rs. 4.75 crore on Sunday. That pattern points to a film that sustained audience interest through the holiday frame, rather than burning bright only on day one.
India Turns Out For Miranda Priestly’S Return
The significance of that opening becomes clearer when placed against the original film’s journey in India. The 2006 The Devil Wears Prada was not a major theatrical force here during its first run, but it steadily grew into a pop culture favorite through repeat television play, streaming discovery and its enduring place in fashion-film conversation. This sequel has benefited directly from that long afterlife, converting affection for the original into a noticeably stronger theatrical turnout.
The current India total stands at Rs. 16.10 crore gross, including Rs. 1.85 crore from previews, followed by Rs. 4.50 crore on Day 1, Rs. 5 crore on Day 2 and Rs. 4.75 crore on Day 3. For a sequel arriving nearly two decades after the first film, that opening weekend underlines just how firmly these characters still hold audience attention.

The Original Creative Team Reunites
Directed by David Frankel and written by Aline Brosh McKenna, The Devil Wears Prada 2 brings back the key creative forces behind the 2006 original. The sequel is backed by 20th Century Studios and produced by Wendy Finerman. Alongside Streep, Hathaway, Blunt and Stanley Tucci, the ensemble also includes Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley, Justin Theroux, Lucy Liu, Patrick Brammall, Caleb Hearon, Helen J. Shen, Pauline Chalamet, B.J. Novak, Conrad Ricamora, Tracie Thoms and Tibor Feldman.
The film is a comedy-drama set once again around the high-pressure fashion media world that made Miranda Priestly and Runway magazine cultural touchstones. Its core appeal lies in revisiting those relationships in a transformed industry, where old power dynamics and unfinished equations can play out with fresh bite.
For Indian moviegoers, the opening weekend has made one thing clear: Miranda Priestly still knows how to make an entrance. Nearly twenty years after the first film became a style-and-dialogue obsession, The Devil Wears Prada 2 has returned with the rare sequel advantage of genuine cultural memory, and audiences have shown up to see it on the big screen.
