Tejashwi Yadav led an RJD review after Bihar Assembly election losses, while Lalu Prasad Yadav backed him amid Rohini’s public family feud and her allegations against brother.
De De Pyaar De 2 wrapped its opening weekend at Rs. 33 crore net in India, after taking an opening of Rs. 8.25 crore, followed by Rs. 11.75 crore and Rs. 13 crore on Saturday and Sunday. In contrast, the original film released in 2019 recorded its first weekend of Rs. 35.75 crore, including paid previews of Rs. 1.20 crore, followed by a similar trend of Rs. 8.15 crore, Rs. 12.25 crore and Rs. 14.10 crore on Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3, respectively.
Both movies have recorded a similar kind of run so far, equalling their debut weekends. However, De De Pyaar De 2 should have performed better being a sequel and considering a significant inflation over the last 6 years. However, box office health has also changed drastically. What was working in the pre-pandemic times isn’t finding many takers in today’s markets!
Given how the sequel performs on weekdays, it will give an idea whether the movie can match the lifetime figure of the first part or not. Though that won’t make it a Clean Hit venture, at least it can ditch the flop verdict, which is itself a safe option in today’s dull market, especially for the rom-com genre.
| Day | De De Pyaar De | De De Pyaar De 2 |
