The trailer of De De Pyaar De 2 dropped this Tuesday, instantly striking a chord with audiences across the country. Promising a fun-filled ride packed with love, awkward encounters, and uproarious family moments, the sequel seems to double down on everything that made the first film such a success but with higher stakes and deeper emotional conflict. From the very first frame, it’s clear that the film isn’t just aiming for laughs; it’s reaching for something far more universal — the comedy that lies hidden in every Indian family.
That core philosophy is reflected in the words of producer and co-writer Luv Ranjan, whose signature style blends humor with sharp observations on modern relationships. Speaking about the tone of the film, Ranjan said, “When you make a family film, you can't rely on slapstick. The humor has to come from situations — from relationships. I truly believe that the most entertaining thing in India is our families. If you start looking for humor, you’ll find it overflowing in every home.
Every five minutes, someone’s annoyed, but when you look at it from a distance, everything sounds like a joke. As long as you can find laughter in your own family, you can write it for the screen.” That insight seems to serve as the backbone of De De Pyaar De 2, which presents domestic chaos not as dysfunction, but as comedy gold.
Picking up from where the 2019 film left off, the story follows Ashish Mehra (played by Ajay Devgn), who is now navigating the delicate next step of his unconventional relationship with the much-younger Ayesha (Rakul Preet Singh). While the first film saw Ashish trying to gain the acceptance of his own family, the sequel flips the narrative — this time, he must win over Ayesha’s. The real twist? Ayesha’s father, played by the ever-charming R. Madhavan, isn’t just skeptical — he’s furious. Their generational clash brings a fresh dynamic to the storyline, filled with uncomfortable silences, verbal jabs, and surprisingly tender moments that sneak up between punchlines. The film doesn’t just entertain — it reflects the anxieties and absurdities of modern Indian families dealing with love, age gaps, and social expectations.
Behind the camera is Anshul Sharma, who steps into the director’s chair with the challenge of maintaining the film’s emotional core while ensuring the humor never feels forced. From the looks of the trailer, he strikes that balance well, giving each character room to shine without ever losing the thread of the central conflict. The screenplay is penned by Luv Ranjan and Tarun Jain, while the production is in the hands of Bollywood heavyweights Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Ankur Garg, and Ranjan himself under the banners of T-Series and Luv Films. True to the tradition of these production houses, the music is expected to be a chartbuster, blending soulful ballads with dancefloor-ready tracks.
Rounding out the cast are Meezaan Jafri, Jaaved Jaaferi, Ishita Dutta, and Gautami Kapoor, each bringing their own quirks and charm to this tangled web of relationships. The film is all set to release in theatres on November 14, 2025, the perfect season to gather your own family, sit together, and laugh at a version of yourselves on screen. Because as Luv Ranjan rightly puts it, the most entertaining stories are the ones unfolding in our own living rooms.
