‘De De Pyaar De 2’ becomes 4th highest opening romcom post pandemic, with Rs 8.75 crore, ‘Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar’ tops; while ‘Saiyaara’ remains the highest grossing in the ‘romance’ genre

Ajay Devgn’s ‘De De Pyaar De 2’ opened to a decent Rs 8.75 crore, securing the fourth spot for rom-coms post-pandemic. While not a blockbuster, this performance is noteworthy given the genre’s struggles. The film’s success highlights the need for fresh energy and controlled budgets in rom-coms, as star-driven comedies face economic challenges and limited regional appeal.
