Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri Box Office (Advance Booking): Kartik Aaryan-starrer Heads For Single-Digit Opening

Mumbai, December 23 - Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday-fronted romantic comedy Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri is heading towards a single-digit opening at the domestic box office, considering the current scenario of limited screen availability and restricted showcasing across major centres. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Directed by Sameer Vidwans, the film has been finding it difficult to carve out space amid the overwhelming box office dominance of Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar, which continues to pull in strong footfalls, and James Cameron's Hollywood specatcle Avatar: Fire and Ash, which has occupied a significant chunk of premium screens nationwide. As a result of the box office dominance of the other two films, TMMTMTTM has been allotted fewer shows so far, especially in key urban centres. The advance booking for the movie opened recently, but the momentum has remained on the lower side. The film is clearly struggling to generate buzz, with multiplexes opting for other strong-performing titles over the romantic comedy. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) TMMTMTTM being an urban-centric film, strong multiplex support was expected to drive its opening numbers. However, the lack of enough screens in premium properties has put the film in a tricky position ahead of its December 25 release. Even with the limited shows currently available, the pre-sales trend has been underwhelming, with overall advance collections struggling to touch the 1 crore mark. There is still a day left, and if it manages to get some more screens, which it should with credible stars featuring in it, then it can hope for a decent start. However, if things don't improve, TMMTMTTM is likely to open in the range of 5 crore net, which will be disappointing. Stay tuned...
