De De Pyaar De 2: Ajay Devgn-Rakul Preet Singh's film starts strong with 9.45 Crore
Box Office India Trade Network

DE DE PYAAR DE 2 collected 33.50 crore nett over its first weekend which can be called a fair collection for the genre but the trajectory is not quite there for the film. The film did well to get to the 8 crore nett mark on the first day but needed the Saturday and Sunday numbers to be better especially the Sunday.

The Sunday could have done with a 20-25% jump which would have put the film in a better position but that jump in mass pockets was not good enough. The jump was there but these centres have the potential to jump 40-50% on Sunday and the problem here probably becomes less family and mass support.

The film has managed similar numbers as the first part released in 2019 which did 34.50 crore nett including paid previews. But occupancy and footfalls are less here which makes matching the business of the first part in the long run very hard. Basically these collections are decent for the genre post pandemic but they are not good enough for the cost of the film. Also, its not gone ahead of the first part though this has something to do with the value this genre holds today as compared to pre pandemic.

DE DE PYAAR DE (2019) collected around 5.75 crore nett on Monday and if this film can do that, then it can still do well but again Mondays are tougher now due to a small percentage of the Monday audience now shifting to the discounted Tuesdays.

The collections of DE DE PYAAR DE 2 till date are as follows.
Friday - 8,25,00,000 apprx 
Saturday - 12,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 13,25,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 33,50,00,000 apprx
---------------------------------
DE DE PYAAR DE 2 dropped on Monday with collections of 3.75 crore nett. The drop was on the wrong side of 50% as it fell around 55%; not that a 50% would have been good enough, considering the weekend numbers. The film stands at 37.25 crore after four days and it should get a life on Tuesday which is the norm now but that will not be enough.

The film was collecting similar to DE DE PYAAR DE (2019) over the weekend but the change has come on Monday as this film is 2 crore nett lower as that film had collected 5.75 crore nett on Monday. The week went to 55 crore nett for DE DE PYAAR DE but here its looking around the 47 crore nett mark. 

Then there is a flow of releases every week which will make it difficult for DE DE PYAAR DE 2 to hold collections. Although sequels are expected to go higher, if this film had gone to 90 crore nett, it would have been good result considering that romcoms are finding it tough going but there is little chance of that after the Monday collections.

DE DE PYAAR DE 2 is a UK rebate film, much like he first part, which takes much of the risk out but its also one reason that that box office can stay as generally it means a UK setting or characters which relates less in the mass circuits especially post pandemic. Nevertheless, the returns are heavy from the rebate and so, these films will continue to be made.

The collections of DE DE PYAAR DE 2 till date are as follows.
Friday - 8,25,00,000 apprx 
Saturday - 12,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 13,25,00,000 apprx
Monday -  3,75,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 37,25,00,000 apprx
---------------------------------
DE DE PYAAR DE 2 collected almost 55 crore worldwide over its first weekend with overseas putting up a decent showing though trend was not great. The performance in overseas can be called a little better as India was same as the first film but overseas was a little better and this is what took the worldwide total above the first film.

DE DE PYAAR DE (2019) had collected 50 crore over the first weekend worldwide. The collections of the sequel were average across all overseas markets with US/Canada at $590k, Gulf at around $500k while UK was £130k and Australia was A$200k. These figures are all better than the first part.

The worldwide collections of DE DE PYAAR DE finished at 131 crore which is not possible here. But the overseas final total of $2.8 million can be surpassed depending on how the second weekend fares.

The worldwide numbers of De De Pyaar De 2 are as follows.
India -  45 crore (37.25 crore nett)
Overseas - 15.50 crore ($1.75 million)
TOTAL - 60.50 crore
