The film, released across 3100 screens, is expected to perform better on its second and third day of release. Indian Express reports that the film was leaked online by piracy website Tamilrockers within a day of its release, which may affect the overall box office collection.

De De Pyaar De has been produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishnan Kumar, Ankur Garg and Luv Ranjan. Tabu and Devgn will be seen sharing screen space once again after Vijaypath (1994), Drishyam (2015) and Golmaal Again (2017). Jimmy Shergill is also seen in a supporting role.
