After getting cash registers ringing with Total Dhamaal, Ajay Devgn is now minting money at the box office with his second release of the year De De Pyaar De. The film co-starring Rakul Preet Singh and Tabu in the lead has been in theatres for two weeks now and so far it has been consistently faring well at the ticket windows despite getting off to a shaky start. Directed by Akiv Ali and written by Luv Ranjan, the romantic comedy is heading towards Rs 100 crore club but it may not end up in hitting the century as Salman Khan's much-awaited film Bharat is just around the corner.

Talking about the box office figures, film trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to the microblogging site Twitter a while back and wrote, "#DeDePyaarDe is a metro success... Found patronage in select cities, but couldn’t score big numbers in mass circuits... [Week 2] Fri 3.58 cr, Sat 4.78 cr, Sun 5.68 cr, Mon 2.73 cr, Tue 2.37 cr, Wed 2.23 cr, Thu 2.07 cr. Total: ₹ 84.49 cr. India biz. #DDPD."
He also tweeted, "#DeDePyaarDe biz at a glance...Week 1: ₹ 61.05 cr
Week 2: ₹ 23.44 cr. Total: ₹ 84.49 cr. As mentioned earlier, has one more weekend to score, before #Bharat takes over on Wed. India biz. #DDPD." Apart from Ajay, Tabu and Rakul, the movie also stars Javed Jaffrey, Alok Nath and Jimmy Shergill in pivotal roles.

While De De Pyaar De has few more days to mint money before facing stiff competition from Bharat at the box office, for now, we just feel that 2019 has turned out to be quite fruitful for Ajay professionally and now we can't wait to see his production venture, Turram Khan.
