De De Pyaar De 2 Box Office: Has a decent weekend, needs a good hold today to have Rs. 60 crores+ Week One

It was a decent weekend for De De Pyaar De 2 as Rs. 38.43 crores came in. The collections are exactly the same as its predecessor De De Pyaar De, which had brought in Rs. 38.54 crores in its first weekend, though it was many years back. For a sequel to arrive and that too while carrying the same story forward, one expects a progression in numbers instead of remaining on the same lines. Still, the fact also remains that the romcom genre has its own limitations today and what’s coming in now is on the expected lines and also decent enough.

This was seen on Sunday as well when Rs. 15.21 crores were collected. De De Pyaar De had collected Rs. 14.74 crores on Sunday, so this is slightly better and shown that there is an audience out there which has liked the film. In fact, the film could have done better had the middle portions of the narrative been more engaging and Ajay Devgn had a more active part to play in the narrative. However, with the focus on the film being the father-daughter story, the ‘sur’ of the narrative was more dramatic than humorous, something that audiences would have enjoyed more.

Nonetheless, all eyes are now on how does the entire first week of the film turns out to be. De De Pyaar De had remained stable on weekdays and collected more than Rs. 22 crores in its next 4 days, as a result of which the first week collections came to Rs. 61.05 crores. However, these are different times now and the Monday holds have become more and more difficult, especially so with Blockbuster Tuesday offer resulting in changed dynamics. For De De Pyaar De 2 to get more than Rs. 20 crores now in the weekdays, Monday would need to be at least Rs. 5.50 crores and preferably Rs. 6 crores. That would decide its journey towards Rs. 100 crores mark.

Note: All collections as per various box office sources
