De De Pyaar De vs De De Pyaar De 2 Opening Weekend Comparison: Ajay Devgn-Starrer Sequel Trails Behind Original
Mumbai, November 18 - Bollywood star Ajay Devgn's latest romantic comedy De De Pyaar De 2 has wrapped up its first weekend with a decent performance, earning around 35 crores net collection. But the sequel has fallen short of the mark set by the original film. The Anshul Sharma's directorial managed to cross the 30 crore mark due to decent growth over the weekend after an average opening. In comparison, the new instalment has fallen short of the original film's opening weekend collection, which had registered approximately 38.50 crore net in its first three days. While the film managed to stay steady after a modest opening day, the growth over the weekend wasn't strong enough to surpass the expectations set by its predecessor. The 2019 release benefited from fresher appeal and strong audience word of mouth, whereas the sequel might be dealing with franchise fatigue as well as reluctant promotion. Despite the performance gap, De De Pyaar De 2 still has a chance to pick up momentum in the coming weekdays. Strong hold in key metros and sustained audience interest in the rom-com genre could help the film achieve respectable numbers in the long run. However, at this stage, the comparison clearly favours the first film, and all eyes are now on how well the sequel can maintain its pace to stay in contention for a solid lifetime total.
