De De Pyaar De 2 Box Office Day 1: Ajay Devgn–Rakul Preet Starrer Opens Lower Than Original
De De Pyaar De 2, starring Ajay Devgn, opened with ₹8.50 crore, falling short of expectations and the original film's debut. While surpassing Devgn's Son of Sardaar 2, it lagged far behind Raid 2.
De De Pyaar De 2 Box Office Collection Day 1: Ajay Devgn’s much-anticipated sequel De De Pyaar De 2 has finally hit theatres, but the film’s opening day numbers suggest a slow start. Despite the buzz around the franchise and a star-studded cast featuring Rakul Preet Singh and R Madhavan, the romantic comedy-drama has not managed to create the impact many expected.
De De Pyaar De 2 Opens Below Expectations
According to early estimates by Sacnilk.com, the film earned ₹8.50 crore on Day 1, marking a modest opening. Surprisingly, the sequel has not been able to surpass the first-day collection of the original De De Pyaar De, which earned ₹10.41 crore (including Thursday previews) in 2019.
How It Compares to Ajay Devgn’s Recent Releases
Though the numbers are lower than the first film, De De Pyaar De 2 has still performed better than Ajay Devgn’s previous release, Son of Sardaar 2, which opened at around ₹6.75 crore. However, it falls far short of the blockbuster opening of Raid 2, which collected a massive ₹19.25 crore on its first day. Benefiting from a national holiday and strong word of mouth, Raid 2 quickly crossed the ₹100 crore milestone.

Ajay Devgn on Self-Belief and Instinct
