As reported by film trade analyst Taran Adarsh, De De Pyaar De released in around 3100 theatres in India and around 650 theatres overseas. Film editor Akiv Ali has made his directorial debut with this one. It had landed into controversy for including actor Alok Nath, accused in India’s MeToo movement, in the star cast. Ajay Devgn had later distanced himself from the issue saying that he had little involvement in the casting of the film.

He played Deepika's husband in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmaavat while Ranveer essayed the role of the antagonist in the film that proved to be one of the best grossers for all the three stars.
