Ajay Devgn starrer De De Pyaar De 2 is gradually inching closer to its next milestone, Rs 50 crore. The romantic comedy, directed by Anshul Sharma, is delighting audiences with the same charming, feel-good themes as its 2019 prequel. The new movie has been making slow yet steady progress at the box office and has collected only Rs 5 crore on the fifth day from its release, reported Sacnilk.
According to the same report by the trade analyst, De De Pyaar De 2 opened with an earning of Rs 8.75 crore on November 14. Following this, the romantic comedy witnessed a 40 per cent surge in collections on its first Saturday. Totalling the box office collection till day 5, the movie stands at Rs 44 crore.
Produced by T-Series Films and Luv Films, the movie had an overall 16.53% Hindi Occupancy on its first Tuesday. While the maximum was observed in night shows at about 28.91%, followed by evening shows at about 16.45%, afternoon shows at about 12.80%, and morning shows at about 7.96%.
Region-wise, the highest screening was in Mumbai at about 20.50%, followed by Jaipur at about 20.00%, the National Capital Region (NCR) at about 19.50%, Ahmedabad at about 17.75%, and others.
After the first weekend collection, trade analyst Taran Adarsh drew a striking comparison between the movie and its prequel. In an Instagram post, he wrote, “The opening weekend numbers of #DDPD2 are in the same range as the first instalment [₹ 38.54 cr, incl previews], which released in 2019.”
He then continued, “Ideally, the business of #DDPD2 should've been much higher, especially given the expectations from franchises today. The film now enters the all-important weekday phase… It must now maintain a steady hold from Monday to Thursday to secure a respectable Week 1 total.”
The 2019 movie had collected Rs 49.53 crore at the box office within its fifth day, according to a previous report by Sacnilk.
Besides Ajay Devgn, De De Pyaar De 2 stars Rakul Preet Singh, R. Madhavan, Ishita Dutta, Meezaan Jaffrey, Javed Jaffrey, and Gautami Kapoor in key roles.
