While Tiger Shroff starrer Student of the Year 2 is currently struggling at the box office, Ajay Devgn's De De Pyaar De, on the other hand, is having a good run at the ticket windows. The film, co-starring Tabu, Rakul Preet Singh and Jimmy Shergill, released last week and witnessed an ordinary opening. The film garnered mixed reviews from the critics, however, it seems the audience is liking Devgn's second offering of the year which is about a 50-year-old man falling in love with a 26-year-old girl. We say so because the rom-com is slowly and steadily finding its hold at the Indian box office. De De Pyaar De Box Office Collection Day 2: Ajay Devgn’s Romcom Witnesses a Big Jump on Saturday, Mints Rs 23.80 Crore

Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to the microblogging site Twitter a while back and revealed the updated figures saying, "#DeDePyaarDe witnesses day-wise growth...

Further, a report in Boxofficeindia noted, "De De Pyaar De collections were hit by elections on Sunday. Punjab which saw a big jump in collections on Saturday was the main affected area. There were also elections in parts of UP, MP, Bihar and West Bengal and although these areas are not doing that great they had potential to have good collections on Sunday. UP, MP and Bihar do their best business on Sunday." De De Pyaar De Box Office Collection Day 1: Ajay Devgn and Tabu's Rom-Com Has a Ordinary Opening, Rakes in Rs 10.41 Crore
