Miranda Priestly Is Back — The Devil Wears Prada 2 Spent Rs 21 Crore Welcoming Her Return

Let’s be honest — when a sequel arrives two decades after the original, the pressure is enormous. But Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt walking back into the world of high fashion has clearly struck a chord, even with Indian moviegoers who don’t usually rush for Hollywood comedy dramas.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 — Day-by-Day India Box Office Breakdown

The film maintained a steady run on weekdays after a promising opening weekend, adding Rs. 1.40 crore on Day 7 to wrap up its first week at Rs. 21.70 crore gross at the Indian box office, including paid previews.

Where Does It Go From Here?

The film is looking for a spike in the second weekend, which should push its cumulative total past the Rs. 25 crore gross mark. A weekend bump driven by word-of-mouth from the original film’s loyal fanbase is entirely plausible.

Based on current trends, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is heading towards a successful verdict at the Indian box office — though it will likely miss the clean HIT label given its ordinary weekday trends. It is, however, on track to become the fourth Hollywood success story in India in 2026, joining Michael, Project Hail Mary, and The Mummy in what is shaping up to be a genuinely strong year for Hollywood in India.

The film is also expected to surpass the lifetime collection of Lee Cronin’s The Mummy in India, and whether it can go on to challenge Michael‘s impressive run will be an interesting story to watch.

The original The Devil Wears Prada — based on Lauren Weisberger’s bestselling novel — became a global cultural phenomenon when it released in 2006, making Miranda Priestly one of cinema’s most iconic characters. The sequel carries those impossibly high heels forward with a star-studded ensemble that includes Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley, Lucy Liu, and Pauline Chalamet, among many others.
