Twenty years after Miranda Priestly first terrorised her way into pop culture, The Devil Wears Prada is back — and Indian audiences are showing up for it. The long-awaited sequel starring Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt has crossed Rs 17 crore gross at the Indian box office in just four days, building steadily on a strong opening weekend and pointing towards a promising first week finish.

The Devil Wears Prada 2: Day-by-Day Box Office Collections in India

After recording a good opening weekend of Rs 15.55 crore, the movie added Rs 1.50 crore to the tally on its first Monday, bringing its 4-day cumulative total to Rs 17 crore gross at the Indian box office.

Day	Box Office Collection
Previews	Rs 1.80 crore
Day 1	Rs 4.50 crore
Day 2	Rs 4.75 crore
Day 3	Rs 4.50 crore (est.)
Day 4 (Monday)	Rs 1.50 crore (est.)
Total	Rs 17.05 crore

Why Monday Dipped — and Why It Should Recover?

The Monday drop was sharper than ideal. The movie witnessed a big drop of 65 per cent on Monday from its opening day. Ideally, it should have recorded a better hold. However, such a drop can be a result of the election outcomes in India, which kept the audience engaged throughout the day. The movie is expected to see a spike on Tuesday due to discounted ticket fares.

This is an important contextual point. Election result day in India is genuinely unique in its power to pull eyeballs away from everything else — news channels, social media feeds, and political conversations dominate the national conversation on such days in a way that very few events can match. A 65% Monday drop that can be partially attributed to Tamil Nadu election counting day is not the same story as a 65% drop caused by poor word-of-mouth. The underlying demand for the film appears intact.

What the Numbers Could Look Like from Here

Based on current trends, The Devil Wears Prada 2 will cross the Rs 20 crore mark by Wednesday and the Rs 25 crore mark in its second weekend. If it manages to hold well further, the movie has the potential to overtake the lifetime collection of Lee Cronin’s The Mummy and march towards the Rs 50 crore gross mark.

That Rs 50 crore target would represent a genuinely impressive run for a Hollywood sequel aimed primarily at a nostalgia-driven adult female audience. It will also be interesting to see whether it can surpass Michael’s lifetime collection, which is still running with strong hold in India. These are ambitious but not unrealistic benchmarks, given how well the opening weekend performed and how strong the brand recognition of the original film remains.
