Pehla Pyaar Doosri Baar showed some much-needed movement on its second day, with its India net collection rising by around 50 percent after a muted opening. The romantic comedy had started its run with Rs 50 lakh on Friday, and the day two trend pushed that number to roughly Rs 75 lakh on Saturday, taking its two-day total to about Rs 1.25 crore.
That jump does not suddenly turn the film into a breakout theatrical success, but it does give the release a better weekend shape after a soft start. For a film that arrived without major star power and opened to limited theatrical pull, even a healthy Saturday climb matters because it signals that the film managed to draw some additional footfalls after day one.
Day Two Trend Gives The Film A Lift
The biggest talking point is the film’s second-day growth. After collecting Rs 50 lakh on October 23, 2026, Pehla Pyaar Doosri Baar recorded a notable jump on October 24, 2026, with the business moving up by about half. That kind of rise is often expected for smaller Friday releases, but the scale of the increase is still significant because the opening itself had been modest.
The film’s advance booking for Saturday had indicated a limited but steady theatrical presence, with bookings spread across more than 2,000 shows in Hindi 2D. Delhi, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh emerged among its stronger day two markets, while NCR led city-wise advances. The occupancy levels remained restrained overall, but the growth in collections suggested that the film found better traction as the weekend progressed.

A Small Film Looking For Weekend Momentum
The challenge for Pehla Pyaar Doosri Baar now is simple. It needs a solid Sunday hold and then as stable a weekday run as possible. A 50 percent jump on day two is encouraging, but the film still needs sustained support to convert that improvement into a respectable first weekend total.
Smaller romantic films can sometimes build gradually if the target audience responds to the music, chemistry and light-hearted storytelling. That makes Sunday especially important for this release. If the film manages another step up, it could at least close its opening weekend on a better note than day one had suggested.
