After two months of wait, Ajay Devgn and R Madhavan-starrer De De Pyaar De 2 is set for OTT release. Directed by Anshul Sharma, the comedy entertainer, which is a sequel to De De Pyaar De (2019), also starred Rakul Preet Singh in the lead role. The film will stream on Netflix from January 9.
De De Pyaar De revolved around Ashish (Devgn), a wealthy 50-year-old man who falls in love with Ayesha (Singh), who is almost half his age. However, their relationship is frowned upon by his family and his ex-wife, Manju (Tabu). The sequel continues the story of Ashish and Ayesha, who now takes him to meet her family. Upon release, the film was met with mixed and positive reviews. It grossed over Rs 100 crore worldwide.
Our CE review of the film read, "DDPD 2 is enjoyable if you give in to its demand of permanent suspension of disbelief. Good performers like Jaaferi and Madhavan start feeling stuck in a bad skit. Luv Ranjan’s writing, however, has come a long way since his Pyaar ka Punchnama days. His female characters enjoy more agency and not only the kind which villainises them. I enjoyed that Rakul’s Ayesha teaches a thing or two to the saviour men around her, but that lesson comes amidst a lot of noise."
The film is produced by Luv Films and Bhushan Kumar's T-Series. Ranjan has co-written the script with Ankur Garg.
