De De Pyaar De 2 Second Friday Advance Booking: Facing clash with two new releases, sells 7K tickets in top national chains; tracking a limited hold
De De Pyaar De 2 enters its second Friday at the box office with an advance booking of approximately 7,000 tickets sold across the top national chains, PVR Inox and Cinepolis. The film faces a challenging situation this week, as it clashes directly with two new releases, which has led to a reduction in both screen count and overall show allocation. This impact is clearly visible in the advance trends, which have dropped considerably from its opening day levels.
Despite the competitive pressure, the film continues to hold a modest presence, particularly in urban centres where it has retained some viewer interest. The star pairing of Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh is driving repeat audience footfalls, which is contributing to a steady though not strong retention of numbers. The performance is primarily being supported by family viewers in metro circuits, while smaller centres are showing sharper declines due to fresh content availability.
Looking ahead to the weekend, the film is expected to deliver a limited carry-over performance. The current advance signals a weak start to the second weekend, and unless spot bookings accelerate closer to showtime and word-of-mouth continues to favour the film, there is little likelihood of a significant rebound. The trajectory from Saturday onwards will depend on how well the new releases are received and whether De De Pyaar De 2 can sustain its appeal among its core viewers.
In summary, as the film moves into its second weekend, it is tracking at average levels with a modest urban hold, hindered by reduced screen presence and increased marketplace competition. The next 1-2 days will be crucial in determining whether it can maintain stability through late audience support or soften further as new content takes precedence.
