The romantic comedy De De Pyaar De 2, starring Ajay Devgn, Rakul Preet Singh, R. Madhavan, and Gautami Kapoor, continued its theatrical run with an expected slowdown in collections on Monday. Released on Friday, the film had a strong opening weekend, but like most films, experienced the usual weekday dip.

According to trade tracker Sacnilk, De De Pyaar De 2 earned an estimated ₹3.16 crore net on its fourth day, taking the domestic total to ₹37.91 crore. The film had opened to ₹8.75 crore on Friday, followed by a 40% increase on Saturday with ₹12.15 crore, and a further ₹13.75 crore on Sunday, bringing its worldwide first-weekend total to ₹54.25 crore.

Directed by Anshul Sharma and written by Luv Ranjan and Tarun Jain, De De Pyaar De 2 is a sequel to the 2019 hit De De Pyaar De. Produced by T-Series Films and Luv Films, the story picks up where the original left off. The narrative follows Ashish (Ajay Devgn) as he navigates his relationship with the younger Ayesha (Rakul Preet Singh), having already convinced his own family, and now faces the challenge of winning over her parents, Rakesh (R. Madhavan) and Anju (Gautami Kapoor).

Critics have noted that the film’s charm lies in its honesty and breezy approach to modern relationships. An excerpt from the HT review states, “Overall, De De Pyaar De 2 works not because it surprises you, but because it stays honest about what it is: a breezy, mildly chaotic take on modern relationships. With Madhavan and Ajay at the centre and a cast that never slacks, it makes for an easy watch.”

While Monday’s numbers reflect a typical weekday decline, box office analysts will be watching whether the film maintains steady collections through the week, especially given the family-centric appeal and star-studded cast.

The film’s performance reaffirms the continued audience interest in sequels that explore contemporary romantic comedy dynamics, with a mix of humor, relational tension, and heartfelt moments.
