While Student of the Year 2 may soon end its theatrical run, Ajay Devgn's De De Pyaar is having a smooth sail at the Indian box office. The film has completed a week in theatres and so far it has been minting moolah at the ticket windows without any trouble. The quirky romantic comedy may have opened to mixed reviews from the critics on May 17 but the film has managed to woo the masses big time. So much so that De De Pyaar De has been trending well even on the weekdays. Co-starring Rakul Preet Singh and Tabu in the lead, the movie is helmed by first director Akiv Ali.

Just a while back, film trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to the microblogging site Twitter and revealed the updated figures saying, "#DeDePyaarDe has a healthy Week 1... Had a decent *extended* weekend, but covered lost ground with a strong run on weekdays... Weekend 2 is extremely crucial since multiple new films will eat into the market share. #DDPD."
He then tweeted, "#DeDePyaarDe has two more weekends to score and pack an impressive total [till #Bharat arrives]... Fri 10.41 cr [incl Thu previews], Sat 13.39 cr, Sun 14.74 cr, Mon 6.19 cr, Tue 6.10 cr, Wed 5.74 cr, Thu 4.48 cr. Total: ₹ 61.05 cr. India biz. #DDPD."

Further, trade portal Boxofficeindia.com has reported, "The second Friday is all important and due to this Thursday drop, it cannot afford to drop a lot if the film is to emerge a HIT. The business and trend of the film is similar to Raid, the cost is also similar to Raid with the UK subsidy compensating for a higher production budget due to overseas shot film."
Though De De Pyaar De has been holding up well at the domestic box office, its business will get affected to a certain extent due to the two new releases - India's Most Wanted and PM Narendra Modi.
