De De Pyaar De 2 Box Office Collection Day 3: Sunday Growth, Weekend at ₹34.48 Crore

New Delhi, November 16: The good times for romantic comedies might be coming back. De De Pyaar De 2 has shown a strong performance in its first weekend. The film had its biggest day on Sunday.

De De Pyaar De 2 Box Office Collection Day 3

According to early data, the film collection is around Rs 13.48 Crore on its third day. This is a very healthy sign for the movie.

The film, starring Ajay Devgn, R. Madhavan, and Rakul Preet Singh, opened on Friday, November 14. As per trade reports, the opening day was decent. However, the real story of this film is its growth. The audience seems to be enjoying the comedy. This has led to good word-of-mouth.

Let’s break down the first weekend numbers for De De Pyaar De 2.

The All-Important Weekend Growth

The weekend trend is very positive for the producers, Luv Ranjan and T-Series. The film is growing every day.

• Day 1 (Friday): The movie had a slow start. It collected Rs 8.75 Crore. This number was lower than what many people expected. It was also lower than the first De De Pyaar De film’s opening day. Some in the trade were worried.
• Day 2 (Saturday): This is where the magic happened. The film saw a huge jump in collections. It earned Rs 12.25 Crore. This was a big growth of 40% from Friday. It proved that the audience liked the film. Families and couples started coming to the theatres.
• Day 3 (Sunday): The film continued its upward journey. As per early data, Sunday collections are Rs 13.48 Crore. This is another jump of about 10% from Saturday. A jump on Sunday, even after a big Saturday, is excellent.

The total collection for the first weekend is now Rs 34.48 Crore (Net) in India. This is a very strong opening weekend. It puts the film on a good path to success.

Why is the Film Working?

The biggest draw for the film is the new cast. The first film had Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet. This time, R. Madhavan has joined the cast. Audiences last saw Ajay Devgn and R. Madhavan together in the superhit Shaitaan. Their face-off in this film is a big highlight.

R. Madhavan plays Rakul Preet’s father. This creates a new and funny problem for Ajay Devgn’s character, Ashish. The comedy is written by Luv Ranjan, who is famous for this style. The film is directed by Anshul Sharma.

The first film, De De Pyaar De (2019), was a big hit. That film collected over Rs 100 Crore in its lifetime. The sequel is now facing the challenge of matching that. The first film also had Tabu, who is missed by many. However, R. Madhavan has filled that space with a new, interesting character.

The Big Budget and The Road Ahead

De De Pyaar De 2 is not a small film. According to industry sources, the budget of the movie is around Rs 100 Crore. This means the film needs to collect a lot of money to be a “Clean Hit.”

A film is usually called a hit when it earns more than its budget from just theatre collections. The first target for De De Pyaar De 2 will be to cross the Rs 100 Crore mark.

With a Rs 34.48 Crore weekend, the film has started well. But the real test begins now.

The Crucial Monday Test

In the box office world, Monday is the most important day.

After a big weekend, all film collections drop on Monday. This is normal because people go back to work and school.

The question is: how much will it drop?

• If the Monday collection is strong (around Rs 4-5 Crore), it means the film is very well-liked. It will then have a long run at the box office.
• If the Monday collection crashes (below Rs 3 Crore), it will be very difficult for the film to reach the Rs 100 Crore budget.

Given the good audience reports, trade experts are expecting a strong Monday. The romantic-comedy genre has been struggling. Films like Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar did well, but many others have failed. De De Pyaar De 2‘s success is important for this genre.

The film has no big competition this week. This will help it earn good money until the next big movie arrives.

Opinion & Methodology

Our Opinion

This is a solid weekend for De De Pyaar De 2. The 40% jump on Saturday was the first good sign. The further 10% jump on Sunday (from Saturday’s high number) confirms that the film is a winner with its target audience. The Rs 34.48 Crore weekend is not a blockbuster number, but it is very good for a rom-com in today’s market.

The Rs 100 Crore budget is high. The film must be stable on weekdays. We believe it will pass the Monday test. R. Madhavan is the secret weapon, and his “father” role against Ajay Devgn’s “boyfriend” role is clicking with the family audience. We are positive about its chances to become a Hit.

Methodology for This Report

At Boxofficewala, we are dedicated to providing the most accurate data. Here is how we get our “Early Data” numbers.

1. Tracker Data: We collect data from major cinema chains (like PVR, INOX, Cinepolis) throughout the day. This gives us a clear idea of ticket sales and occupancy (how many seats are full).
2. Morning & Noon Shows: By 3 PM on any day, we analyze the morning and afternoon show trends. We compare these numbers to the previous days (Friday and Saturday) to see if the film is growing or dropping.
3. Evening Advance Booking: We also look at the advance booking for the evening and night shows. A strong advance for these “prime shows” means the final number will be high.
4. Single Screen Reports: We have trade sources in major “B” and “C” centres (smaller towns). They give us reports from single-screen theatres, which are not always tracked online.
5. The “Early Data”: Around 10 PM, we combine all this data. We use a statistical model to project the final collection for the full day. This is the “Early Data” (like the Rs 13.48 Crore). It is very accurate, but it can change slightly.
6. Final Number: The next day, by 12 PM, producers and distributors release the “Official” or “Final” number. This is usually very close to our early data.

Our goal is to report the trend as it happens, giving our readers the fastest and most reliable box office news.

Note: Numbers derived from current box-office data, trade sources, distributors and ticketing platforms; cross-checked with partners and updated regularly. See our Methodology Page.
