De De Pyaar De 2 Box Office Predictions: Film to open in Rs. 7-8 crores range
This Friday sees the release of De De Pyaar De 2, sequel to De De Pyaar De which had done well in multiplexes at urban centres and ended up entering the Rs. 100 Crore Club. The Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh starrer has actually survived over the years with quite some traction on social media as well, which had kept the story alive.
Hence, it made sense as well for the story to be taken forward as a sequel since there is a lot that can be done with the subbed at hand, that of a middle aged man falling in love with the girl half his age. Moreover, this time around it’s the theme of ‘Meet The Parents’ added for good measure as well with Madhavan stepping in as Rakul’s father. This isn’t all as a younger male lead too is added to the romcom drama with Meezaan Jafri in the fold.
Trailer of the film was good and hence it seemed like the opening would be better than the first part (Rs. 10.41 crores). Ideally, the film should have been aiming for Rs. 13-15 crores. However, romcoms have their own limitation when it comes to the first day numbers and that has now been seen multiple times, especially post pandemic, with the recent examples being Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari and Param Sundari. The difference though is that in this case, the film is helmed by Ajay Devgn and hence you do expect a reasonably good opening at least.
However, if advance booking so far is any indication, the film is looking at an opening day of Rs. 7-8 crores. It would be a pleasant surprise if this number is exceeded but for now this seems to be the best-case scenario, though the trailer did indicate a double-digit opening.
