Is 'De De Pyaar De 2' on track to win hearts and wallets? The latest installment starring Ajay Devgn, Rakul Preet Singh, and R Madhavan, hit theaters with a splash, but has the momentum continued? Let's dive into the box office numbers to find out.
The film, directed by Anshul Sharma, kicked off its theatrical run on Friday, enjoying a robust opening weekend. However, as is typical in the film industry, the initial excitement gave way to a predictable slowdown on Monday.
Here's a breakdown of the film's performance:
- Day 1 (Friday): ₹ 8.75 crore
- Day 2 (Saturday): ₹ 12.25 crore (a solid 40% increase!)
- Day 3 (Sunday): ₹ 13.75 crore (another 12.24% jump)
- Day 4 (Monday): ₹ 4.25 crore (a drop of about 60%, as expected)
- Day 5 (Tuesday): ₹ 5.00 crore (a slight increase, possibly due to discounted ticket prices)
This brings the film's total domestic collection to an estimated ₹ 44 crore, according to Sacnilk.
But here's where it gets interesting: the worldwide collection paints a slightly different picture. By the end of its opening weekend, 'De De Pyaar De 2' had already grossed ₹ 54.25 crore globally. While the domestic numbers have remained relatively stable, the overseas performance has shown a promising uptick.
Controversially, the original 'De De Pyaar De' concluded its global run with approximately ₹ 131 crore. While matching this figure seems unlikely for the sequel, the film is within reach of surpassing the first film's overseas earnings of $2.8 million, provided it maintains a strong performance in its second weekend.
So, what do you think? Will 'De De Pyaar De 2' continue to resonate with audiences, or will it fall short of its predecessor's success? Share your thoughts in the comments! Do you think the overseas market will be key to its overall success?
