Official Confirmation or Sources
The OTT release date has been officially confirmed by Netflix India through its verified social media handles. De De Pyaar De 2 is the sequel to the 2019 hit De De Pyaar De, which starred Ajay Devgn, Rakul Preet Singh, and Tabu.
The first film revolved around Ashish Mehra (Ajay Devgn), a 50-year-old single father who falls in love with 26-year-old Ayesha (Rakul Preet Singh) and introduces her to his family, navigating age-gap prejudices and emotional complexities.

In De De Pyaar De 2, the story flips perspectives. Ashish, now a 52-year-old London-based NRI investor, travels to India to meet the family of his younger girlfriend Ayesha Khurana, now 28, to seek their approval for marriage.
The situation takes a comic turn when Ashish finds himself at odds with Ayesha’s father, Rajji Khurana, played by R. Madhavan—who is younger than him. The sequel leans heavily into generational humour, role reversals, and family dynamics, expanding on the themes that resonated with audiences in the first instalment.
The film’s blend of romance, comedy, and social commentary has contributed to its strong theatrical performance.
Public or Fan Reaction
Following its cinema release, De De Pyaar De 2 received steady audience traction, particularly among fans of light-hearted family entertainers. According to trade tracking websites, the film earned approximately Rs 74.22 crore at the Indian box office, with its worldwide collection reported at Rs 111.76 crore. These figures are based on industry estimates.
The announcement of its OTT release has been welcomed by viewers who missed the theatrical run, with social media users expressing excitement about revisiting the film from home.
What’s Next?
With its Netflix debut on January 9, De De Pyaar De 2 is expected to find renewed viewership on streaming, especially among rom-com and family-drama audiences. The digital release also positions the franchise for potential future expansion, depending on audience response.
