Will De De Pyaar De 2 manage to pull audiences to theatres? The advance booking numbers suggest a tough road ahead for the romantic comedy sequel.
Disappointing Pre-Sales Numbers On BookMyShow
With just hours remaining before its November 14 release, De De Pyaar De 2 has sold only 17,000 tickets on BookMyShow in national chains. This figure places the Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh starrer among the lowest advance booking performers of recent times. The pre-sales data reveals a concerning trend for the film, especially when compared to other upcoming releases that have crossed 50,000 to 85,000 tickets in the same window.
The numbers become even more alarming when placed against recent releases in the same genre and star power category. For a film headlined by established stars and carrying the goodwill of a successful first part, these figures indicate weak audience interest and minimal buzz around the release.
How Other Films Compare In Advance Bookings
Here is how De De Pyaar De 2 stacks up against other upcoming Bollywood releases in BookMyShow pre-sales collected a day before their respective releases:
| Film | BMS Pre-Sales (Below 100K) |
|---|---|
| Baaghi 4 | 85K (50% off) |
| Housefull 5 | 79K |
| Shaitaan | 70K |
| Thamma | 59K |
| Sky Force | 51K (Discounted rates) |
| Raid 2 / OMG 2 | 43K |
| Jolly LLB 3 | 33K |
| Bad Newz | 32K |
| SZP | 30K |
| Baby John | 26K |
| Crew | 25K |
| TBMAUJ / BRK | 22K |
| Param Sundari | 21K |
| EDKD | 18K |
| BMCM / De De Pyaar De 2 | 17K |
| Kesari 2 | 12K |
| Maidaan / Jigra / BMC / SSKTK | 11K |
| SOS 2 / Dhadak 2 | 8K (50% off) |
| Jaat | 6K |
The table clearly shows that De De Pyaar De 2 is struggling to generate excitement among moviegoers despite being a sequel to a 2019 hit.
Expected Day One Opening
Trade analysts predict that De De Pyaar De 2 will fail to touch a double digit opening at the box office. The film is now expected to collect around 6.50 to 7 crore net on its opening day. This projection is based on the current advance booking trends and the overall lack of social media buzz surrounding the release. Such an opening would be considered underwhelming for a film featuring R Madhavan, especially following his recent successes.
The weak start raises questions about audience fatigue with romantic comedy sequels and whether the genre still holds the same appeal it did in 2019 when the first film released.
