De De Pyaar De 2 Day 1 Early Estimates: Ajay Devgn, Rakul Preet Singh-starrer Opens On Expected Lines

Mumbai, November 14 - The much-awaited romantic comedy sequel De De Pyaar De 2, starring Ajay Devgn, Rakul Preet Singh, and R. Madhavan, has taken a decent start on the expected lines at the domestic box office.

According to early estimates, DDPD2 has opened in the range of 8-9 crores net collection, which is very much in line with pre-release expectations. A double-digit start for the film would have been ideal, but not so good pre-sales indicated that it would require extraordinary word of mouth to reach there, which didn't happen.

The movie was lacking the buzz which is required for a solid opening; however, the makers failed to maintain it after the well-received trailer. Given the sequel tag, the opening of DDPD2 is below par, as the first film opened to over 10 crores net in 2019.

As said, the opening is still not something which can be called bad, and has comfortably beaten the opening of Ajay Devgn's last movie, Son of Sardaar 2 (7.25 crores net). The film has a chance to bounce back strongly on Saturday and Sunday, especially with hardly any competition at the moment.

The weekend collection of DDPD2 will aim to reach around 30 crores net, which is, even though not a good total, but will be respectable. As always, the film's fate will be known by Monday, as it may emerge as a decent success if the film manages to hold well during working days.

Stay tuned...
