Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh’s De De Pyaar De 2 hit theatres on November 14, 2025, and the sequel has started off on a bright and confident note. With strong word-of-mouth and a loyal fanbase eager to revisit Ashish and Ayesha’s quirky love story, the film has managed to hold its own against a crowded box-office lineup including Thamma, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, The Taj Story, Kantara Chapter 1 (Hindi), and Haq.
📌 Day 1 Box Office: A Solid Start
The film collected ₹9.45 crore net on its opening day, while the gross total stands at ₹11.15 crore. For a non-holiday release with no discounted tickets or special offers, this is a commendable start, especially considering the stiff competition at the ticket windows.
Trade analysts note that De De Pyaar De 2 maintained a steady momentum throughout Friday, supported by positive audience reactions. With encouraging word-of-mouth, the rom-com is expected to touch or cross the double-digit mark today if Saturday shows continue to rise.
