The Devil Wears Prada 2 India Box Office: From Under ₹1 Crore in 2006 to ₹34.50 Crore in 2026 — Prada’s Glow-Up Is Real

Twenty years ago, the original The Devil Wears Prada barely made a dent at the Indian box office. Its sequel just ran for seven weeks straight. That tells you everything about how Indian audiences have warmed up to prestige Hollywood fare — and how powerful nostalgia combined with an iconic cast can be.

The Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway starrer has now wrapped its complete theatrical run in India, finishing at ₹34.50 crore gross (₹28.50 crore nett) — a solid result for a non-IP Hollywood film.

The original The Devil Wears Prada (2006) — a global phenomenon starring Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt — earned under ₹1 crore in India across its entire run. The sequel has grown that figure manifold, a reflection of how dramatically India’s appetite for Hollywood content has expanded over two decades.
