After a rollicking performance by Ye Jawaani Hai Deewani last week, Bollywood was hoping that the trend would continue with Yamla Pagla Deewana 2, the sequel to the 2011 original. However, the Dharmendra, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol starrer had an average opening at the box office and failed to show much appreciable growth on Saturday and Sunday. The weekend figures are in the range of 21-22 crore, which are similar to the original movie's weekend collections. The average opening and poor reports mean that the film won't have long legs at the box office, and if the weekdays drop heavily, then this will be another big budget debacle this year. The most disappointing fact is that Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 didn't put up a better performance even in North where Deols have a huge fan following.
