'De De Pyaar De 2' struggles to impress at the box office
The follow-up to the popular rom-com, 'De De Pyaar De 2,' brings back Ajay Devgn, Tabu, and Rakul Preet Singh, with R Madhavan and Meezaan Jafri joining in.
The film tries to recapture the original's charm but hasn't quite landed with audiences since its Friday release.
In numbers:
While the first movie crossed ₹100cr with ease, the sequel managed only about ₹51.10cr in its first week.
Even after a wider release, its total so far sits at ₹61.85cr in India—well behind what fans might've expected.
Why it fell short
Despite a familiar cast and some new faces, 'De De Pyaar De 2' just doesn't have the story strength or buzz of the original.
Word-of-mouth has been mixed, and even a weekend jump couldn't save it from feeling like a one-time watch rather than a repeat favorite.
