Production
Development and casting
In February 2017, Luv Ranjan confirmed that Ajay Devgn had committed to star in an untitled "urban comedy" film that would be written by Luv Ranjan and produced by Ranjan and Ankur Garg. The "contemporary rom-com" was to be directed by film editor Akiv Ali in his directorial debut, who had previously worked as editor on Ranjan's films, among others.[7] Devgn played a 50-year-old in the film, the first time he played a character his real age; he attributed it to "meatier roles.. being written for actors of [his] age and audience accepts it". It was also his first romance film in years. Devgn mentioned that the film's premise followed "strong woman characters[,] and there's also a nice message".[8]
In May 2017, a member of the film's crew confirmed that Tabu was confirmed to play one of the film's female leads opposite Devgn, marking her seventh collaboration with the actor; their last production together at the time was Golmaal Again (2017).[9] According to Tabu, the film highlights the differences in "[t]he way a mid-40s couple deals with their relationship, their definition of love and relationship will be different than a 27-year-old woman. Her insecurities are different and issues are varied".[10] Jimmy Sheirgill's inclusion in the cast in a supporting role as the love interest of Tabu's character, was confirmed in late April 2018. Sheirgill had previously shared screen space with Tabu for the 1996 film Maachis, which was also his film debut.[11]
After the success of their previous comedy Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018), Luv Films and Bhushan Kumar of T-Series formed a mutual understanding to continue their collaboration by co-producing a series of films, the first of which was De De Pyaar De.[12] In mid-January 2018, Rakul Preet Singh, who had earlier made her debut with the T-Series production Yaariyan, was signed in as a female lead opposite Devgn. According to Ranjan, Singh's "natural persona fit[ted] the character to the tee".[13] In February 2018, Singh confirmed her casting and said she had "a meaty role", but couldn't reveal more details at the time.[14]
Principal photography
Principal photography commenced on 19 January 2018 at Mumbai. The film had a production budget of ₹500 million.[3] In June 2018, Singh revealed that close to 50 percent of filming was completed at that point.[15] The next shooting schedule of the film commenced in July 2018 at London.[16] In August 2018, Devgn and Singh began their next schedule in Kullu Manali Circuit.[17] By August 2018, filming was completed and post-production work commenced.[18]

Manj Musik recreated Surjit Bindarikhia's track Mukhda Vekh Ke in the voice of Mika Singh and Dhvani Bhanushali.
Shreya Paul of Firstpost wrote that the music is "as problematic as the plot seems to be", noting that it "doesn't do much to evoke any worthy reaction from listeners, except for maybe a sigh of disappointment". Paul, however, praised "Dil Royi Jaye" for "stand[ing] apart" from the rest of the songs.[20]

Critical response
De De Pyaar De received mixed reviews from critics.[46][47][48][49]
Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave 4/5 stars and praised all aspects of production, concluding, "On the whole, De De Pyaar De is a paisa vasool entertainer with plenty of laugh aloud moments and strong emotions as its USP".[50] Anita Iyer of Khaleej Times gave 2/5 stars and felt that the "[l]ack of a storyline is hardly compensated by the presence of the stars on board".[51] Manjusha Radhakrishnan of Gulf News gave 3/5 stars and wrote "[I]f you can ignore [the female leads'] questionable choice in men, there's a lot to enjoy in De De Pyaar De".[52] Raja Sen of Hindustan Times gave 2.5/5 stars and felt that Devgn delivered his "sincerest performance",[53] while Stutee Ghosh of The Quint gave 3/5 stars and wrote that the film "owes a lot to Ajay Devgn and Tabu's chemistry".[54]
Ronak Kotecha of The Times of India gave 3.5/5 stars and was impressed with the film for "reinstat[ing] the fact that when it comes to love, age is just a number."[55] Meena Iyer of Daily News and Analysis concurred, opining that it "nicely captures frailties in human relationships".[56] Mayur Sanap of Deccan Chronicle gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Despite its bright premise and superlative cast, the Akiv Ali directorial isn't as smart as it aspires to be."[57] Similarly, Mayank Shekhar of Mid-Day gave the film 1.5/5 stars and lamented, "It's almost like the filmmakers are certain the intended audience won't connect much with such a young-old love, by itself, in a single screen theatre".[58] Gaurang Chauhan of Times Now rated 3/5 stars and attributed the film's strength to strong performances.[59] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave 2.5/5 stars and felt the film was "a mixed bag", stating, "You wish the film had been braver in its intention of creating a really cracking rom-com, instead of playing its clichés for a laugh".[60]
Anna M. M. Vetticad of Firstpost gave 1/5 stars and opined it was "a vehicle for claims of universal male victimhood, better disguised than its co-producer and co-writer Luv Ranjan's three directorial ventures that have struck box office gold in the past decade".[61] Nandini Ramnath of Scroll felt the film's "biggest achievement is that it might actually compel filmmakers to ask whether their leads are appropriately matched wrinkle for wrinkle rather than forcing chronological acrobatics on viewers".[62] Kunal Guha of Mumbai Mirror wrote, "The build-up gets dangerously close to that tipping point from where on expects it to nose-dive, but it doesn't".[63] Charu Thakur of India Today praised Tabu's performance as "light[ing] up every frame with her presence, and [a] comic timing.. par excellence.[64] Reshu Manglik of India TV gave 1/5 stars and called it "[a] shapeless tale of unusual love story that takes you nowhere".[65]
