Ajay Devgn’s romantic-comedy-melodrama-of-the-year, De De Pyaar De 2, is not able to replicate the charm of the hit original movie. The sequel that was released on November 14, 2025, did not live up to the expectations set by the trade.
The film raked in about ₹8.75 crore net on its first day. This number is significantly lower than the opening day collection of the original 2019 film that stood at ₹10.41 crore.
The film features Ajay Devgn as Ashish, a 52-year-old NRI investor. He is seen carrying on his unconventional love story with Ayesha, played by Rakul Preet Singh. The sequel’s storyline is about Ashish convincing Ayesha’s family of his love for her.
With this new twist, we get R. Madhavan and Gautami Kapoor as Ayesha's parents. Critics and fans alike, especially, are applauding Madhavan's acting to the roof.
De De Pyaar De 2 had an excellent opening weekend. It managed to collect close to ₹12-13 crore on both Saturday and Sunday, thus, the total first-weekend collection was around ₹33.70 crore. Still, this pace was not sustained.
The first-week box office total of the film had only reached somewhere around ₹51.10 crore net. That is about ₹10 crore lower than the first week of the first movie. The trade analysts believe that the factors chiefly responsible for the difference are the less fresh storyline and the mixed word-of-mouth of the film.
During the second week, the film’s receipt were on a sharp downward trend on weekdays. Although it was in a better condition than the freshly released, poorly reviewed movies such as Masti 4, it hardly stands a chance of crossing the highly sought-after ₹100 crore mark in the domestic market.
The movie is being referred to as a lighthearted and fun family rom-com, which will appeal to the audience, despite its lack of success at the box office.
