How did De De Pyaar De 2 perform at the box office during its opening weekend? The Ajay Devgn starrer has registered a decent weekend collection, with Saturday and Sunday providing the much-needed boost after a slow start on Friday. The film collected Rs 38.43 crore in its first three days, which is in the same range as the first installment that released back in 2019.
The opening weekend numbers show that De De Pyaar De 2 has managed to match the original film’s performance. The first De De Pyaar De had collected Rs 38.54 crore, including previews, during its opening weekend. However, ideally, the business of this sequel should have been much higher, especially given the expectations from franchises today.
Day-Wise Box Office Breakdown
The film opened on Friday with a collection of Rs 9.45 crore, which was a decent but not spectacular start. Saturday saw a significant jump as the film collected Rs 13.77 crore, showing strong growth of over 45 percent. Sunday was even better, with the film earning Rs 15.21 crore, taking the total opening weekend collection to Rs 38.43 crore.
Here is the detailed day-wise breakdown for De De Pyaar De 2:
| Day | Collection (India Net) |
|---|---|
| Friday (Day 1) | Rs 9.45 crore |
| Saturday (Day 2) | Rs 13.77 crore |
| Sunday (Day 3) | Rs 15.21 crore |
| Opening Weekend Total | Rs 38.43 crore |
The Crucial Weekday Test Ahead
The film now enters the all-important weekday phase, which will determine its long-term box office fate. De De Pyaar De 2 must maintain a steady hold from Monday to Thursday to secure a respectable Week 1 total. The weekday collections are always the real test for any film, as they show whether the movie has strong word of mouth or not.
If the film can hold well during the weekdays, it has a chance of posting a solid first week total. However, if there is a major drop on Monday, it could indicate that the film is struggling to connect with audiences beyond the initial weekend crowd.
Overseas Performance Better Than India
Interestingly, or say surprisingly, the film has fared better overseas than it did in India. The overseas weekend collection is estimated to be around USD 1.40 million, which is around 15 percent better than the original film. This shows that De De Pyaar De 2 has found a stronger audience in international markets compared to the first installment.
This overseas performance is a positive sign for the film, as it adds to the overall global box office numbers and shows that the franchise has appeal beyond Indian borders.
