Filmpanti Box Office Desk | 22 November 2025
Introduction: Eight-Day Trend in a Nutshell
Ajay Devgn’s much-awaited romantic-comedy sequel De De Pyaar De 2 (DDPD2) has showcased a mixed trend at the box office in its first 8 days. Starting with a healthy weekend and strong star power, the film reported decent footfalls through the weekdays but saw collections dipping as it entered the second weekend. Backed by an ensemble cast featuring Rakul Preet Singh, R. Madhavan, and Javed Jaffrey, the film continues to attract multiplex audiences but faces stiff competition for box office supremacy.
Day 8 Box Office Report: India Net & Worldwide Update
On Day 8 (second Friday), De De Pyaar De 2 collected ₹2.25 Cr (India Net), representing a further drop compared to the previous weekday trend. The film’s India Net total stands at ₹53.5 Cr after 8 days. On the global front, the movie has amassed an impressive ₹78 Cr worldwide, including ₹61 Cr India Gross and ₹17 Cr overseas. Despite slowing momentum, the film has maintained visibility in urban circuits.

Performance Analysis: Genre, Audience & Star Power
De De Pyaar De 2 belongs to the urban rom-com genre, attracting youth and family audiences in metro circuits. Ajay Devgn leads with a charming performance, while Rakul Preet Singh and R. Madhavan offer strong support and entertainment. Javed Jaffrey’s comic timing adds to repeat value. The movie opened strong due to pre-release buzz and franchise recall, but weekday numbers suggest limited mass penetration.
Weekday Trend: Drop After Initial Surge
The film saw significant collections during the opening weekend (₹34.75 Cr in 3 days), but post-Monday, the business experienced a predictable drop, a trend common for urban-centric rom-coms. From Day 4 onward, daily figures averaged in the 3–5 Cr range, with Day 8 falling to ₹2.25 Cr, indicating moderate audience retention and higher dependence on weekend footfalls.
De De Pyaar De 2 vs. De De Pyaar De (2019) Comparison
Compared to the 2019 hit De De Pyaar De, which had notable staying power and a longer theatrical run, DDPD2’s numbers show a sharper post-weekend drop. While franchise value contributed to a strong opening, the sequel has yet to match the sustained momentum of the original in weekdays.
Budget vs Collection: Profitability Check
The reported budget for De De Pyaar De 2 is ₹100 Cr. With a current India Net of ₹53.5 Cr and a worldwide total of ₹78 Cr, the movie remains below its cost. Unless there is a significant surge in the coming days, crossing the budget for net profitability will be a challenge, taking recovery well into its second week.
Hit or Flop? Early Verdict Based on Data
As of Day 8, De De Pyaar De 2 has not yet crossed its production budget through theatrical revenue. Given the trend and current earnings, the film can at best be termed “Below Average” or “Struggling” in real-time box office terms. Further classification will depend on second weekend collections and sustained audience interest.
Lifetime Collection Prediction: What Next?
Based on the 8-day trend and diminishing weekday numbers, DDPD2 is expected to wrap up its lifetime India Net tally in the range of ₹60–65 Cr, unless a positive turnaround is seen over the second weekend. Worldwide numbers may touch ₹85 Cr+, barring a surprise jump in occupancy.
Conclusion: Day 8 Takeaways & Outlook
De De Pyaar De 2 started well but has faced a steady decline in daily collections after its opening surge. Day 8 marks the lowest daily figure so far, with the box office trend indicating a considerable challenge to recover costs. The final verdict depends on upcoming weekend growth; for now, DDPD2 stands as a moderate performer with star appeal but mounting pressure for a turnaround.
