The highly anticipated sequel, 'De De Pyaar De 2', starring Ajay Devgn, Rakul Preet Singh, and R Madhavan, has crossed the Rs 20 crore mark at the box office on its second day of release. The film, which opened to a modest start of over Rs 8 crore on Friday, is showing strong signs of success on its second day, indicating a positive push for the weekend. Early estimates from Sacnilk reveal that the film earned Rs 12.25 crore on Saturday, bringing its total domestic collection to a impressive Rs 21 crore in just two days. This significant jump is seen as a positive sign after the film's modest opening on Friday. The report also noted a 20.53% Hindi occupancy on Saturday, suggesting that more viewers are stepping in as the weekend begins.
'De De Pyaar De 2' is a romantic-drama that continues the story of Ashish, a 52-year-old London-based NRI investor, and his 28-year-old lover, Ayesha. The film's sequel brings a new twist as Ashish prepares to meet Ayesha's family, leading to funny, awkward, and entertaining moments as both families navigate their age gap. The film maintains the blend of romance and comedy, with the interactions between Ashish and Rajji, played by R Madhavan, adding fresh humor. The banter and age difference storyline keep the spirit of the original 'De De Pyaar De' alive.
R Madhavan, reflecting on his collaboration with Ajay Devgn, praised the experience as inspiring and creatively satisfying. He felt valued throughout the shoot and emphasized the importance of collaboration and character-driven storytelling. According to Bollywood Hungama, Madhavan stated, 'On set, like Ajay sir, I don’t compete. The whole idea is to do the best we can for the sake of the character and the film. I’ve learned from Ajay sir that when the story works, the film works, everything works for everybody. But if I am only worried about what I am doing, and getting insecure about it, then it's the wrong approach towards a film.'
The film's success on its second day is a testament to the strong performances and the blend of romance and comedy that has resonated with audiences. With its positive reception and strong box office numbers, 'De De Pyaar De 2' is set to continue its successful run at the cinemas.
