Ajay Devgn's newest release De De Pyaar De, co-starring Tabu, Rakul Preet Singh and Jimmy Shergill, has opened to mixed reviews from the critics. While the trailer of the film had impressed everyone, it seems the film's box office fate now depends on whether it manages to wow the audience or not. The much-awaited romantic comedy arrived in theatres today and as per trade portals, De De Pyaar De got off to an average start as it witnessed around 15 to 20 % occupancy during the morning shows across India. Helmed by first time director Akiv Ali, the film is written by Luv Rajan. De De Pyaar De Movie Review: Tabu Towers Over Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet in This Unusual Romcom

As per Boxofficeindia.com, the film should pick up the pace during the evening and night shows. The website noted, "De De Pyaar De had an ordinary opening of around 15-20%. The opening is less than last weeks Student Of The Year 2 probably because it does not have much for the youth or mass audience. But this film should have a far bigger evening and night audience than Student Of The Year 2 and that could push the collections of the film to a decent level for the first day." De De Pyaar De: Is Ajay Devgn the King of Comedy?

The report further pointed out, "Like all Hindi films today it's about the trajectory on Saturday and Sunday to stay in that box office race and have a chance of sustaining strongly over the weekdays." So let's wait and see how Devgn's second outing of this year fares over the first weekend. That will certainly give us an idea as to where the film is heading.
