Tere Ishk Mein Box Office: Emerges As Dhanush's Biggest Opener Domestically

Mumbai, November 29 - Dhanush has proved his Pan India worth with director Anand L. Rai's romantic drama Tere Ishk Mein, co-starring Kriti Sanon. Released amid solid anticipation, the film has emerged as the biggest opening of Dhanush's career, surpassing his previous blockbuster. Tere Ishk Mein registered a 19 crore gross (16 crore net) opening in India. Interestingly, it is Dhanush's only third theatrical Hindi film, including his debut title Raanjhanaa (2013), which was also directed by Rai. The film benefited from strong bookings, solid word of mouth, and a powerful nationwide release strategy. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) With this, Tere Ishk Mein has beaten the opening-day performances of Dhanush's recent big films. The actor's social drama Kuberaa had earlier held the top spot with a 17.25 crore gross opening earlier this year, followed by the gangster thriller Raayan, which scored 15.75 crore gross on Day 1. Dhanush's Pan India appeal also gets proved with the fact that his top 2 openers are non-Tamil films, in Hindi and Telugu, which are not his first languages. The strong debut of Tere Ishk Mein confirms the rising nationwide pull of Dhanush, who continues to expand his box-office presence beyond regional boundaries. Tere Ishk Mein has particularly benefited from its music, pre-release buzz, the fresh pairing with Kriti Sanon, and the successful combo of Dhanush and Rai, drawing significant footfall in both multiplexes and mass circuits. With an excellent start and steady audience reception, the film is now positioned for a robust weekend. Stay tuned...

Tere Ishk Mein Box Office Prediction/Preview: Dhanush, Kriti Sanon-starrer Set For Strong Start

Mumbai, November 27 - Bollywood is gearing up for a strong finish to the year, and the momentum begins with Dhanush and Kriti Sanon's much-awaited romantic drama Tere Ishk Mein. The film has been steadily building buzz over the past few weeks, and the trade is now predicting a solid opening driven by strong audience interest, a popular lead pair, and consistently positive pre-release chatter. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film is witnessing impressive advance bookings, which are among the best for a Bollywood title this year. A major contributor to this surge is its well-received trailer and chart-topping music album, which has gone viral across social media platforms. The film's emotional tone and treatment also evoke similarities to Dhanush and Aanand L. Rai's iconic Raanjhanaa (2013), further boosting nostalgia-driven curiosity among viewers. The solid pre-sales also reflect the audience's renewed love for romantic dramas in 2025, a trend established by earlier hits like blockbuster Saiyaara and the superhit Deewaniyat. In both cases, music played a crucial role, which is also the case with Tere Ishk Mein, whose songs are already pulling strong footfalls. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) A few weeks ago, Tere Ishk Mein was expected to debut in the modest 6–7 crore net range, but it is now heading for a sure-shot double-digit start. As said, the advances are solid with around 3.10 crores gross as of 4 PM on November 27. The final pre-sales are expected to be between 4.50-5 crores gross, which indicates the opening in the range of 12-15 crores net. With such a strong foundation, Tere Ishk Mein is well-positioned to gain momentum over the weekend. And if audience reception is equally good, the Dhanush–Kriti starrer may emerge as a significant winner at the box office. Overall, the industry is set to have a big Friday after the few underwhelming ones this year, and will hope the momentum continues with the upcoming films as well. Stay tuned...

120 Bahadur vs Mastiii 4 Box Office: A Dud First Week Total For Both Films

Mumbai, November 28 - The first-week box office collection for Mastiii 4 and 120 Bahadur have turned out to be highly disappointing, with both films failing to attract audiences despite arriving on relatively clear release frames. Both films were almost non-starters and ended up with poor first-week totals. Director Milap Zaveri, who recently scored an unexpected box office hit with Deewaniyat, witnessed a major turnaround with the adult comedy, Mastiii 4, which recorded a washout first-week performance, collecting just around 13.75 crores net (approximately 16.50 crores gross) in India. The film's overseas performance was equally underwhelming, adding only an estimated 1.50 crores to its 18 crores worldwide tally. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The opening week box office performance of Masti 4 is far from the expected one for a brand-backed comedy franchise. Poor word-of-mouth and minimal traction during weekdays ensured that the film never gained momentum after its modest opening. Tere Ishk Mein Day 1 Box Office Trend: Dhanush Joins Rajinikanth In The Elite Double-Digit Opening List On the other hand, 120 Bahadur managed to score slightly better numbers but still ended its first week on a forgettable note. The Farhan Akhtar-led war drama earned approximately 15 crores net (18 crores gross) domestically, with its worldwide collection touching roughly 20 crores. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 120 Bahadur opened below Mastiii 4 but couldn't take the momentum into the weekdays after the decent opening weekend. With competition increasing from fresh releases and major titles on the horizon, the chances of any late turnaround for either film remain slim. Projections now suggest that the combined domestic total of both films is headed for under 35 crores net, marking one of the weakest twin releases with familiar faces in recent times. Both films will depend heavily on digital and satellite rights to recover their investments as their box office journey nears its end. Stay tuned...

Tere Ishk Mein Day 1 Box Office Trend: Dhanush Joins Rajinikanth In The Elite Double-Digit Opening List

Mumbai, November 28 - Tamil star Dhanush's Bollywood comeback with director Anand L Rai's Tere Ishk Mein is set to turn memorable with an excellent opening at the box office. The romantic drama, also starring Kriti Sanon, is heading for 15+ crores net opening day, which will be among the top 10 biggest openings of 2025. With Tere Ishk Mein, Dhanush has unlocked a massive career milestone, becoming only the second Tamil actor, after superstar Rajinikanth, to score double-digit opening days across three major industries — Tamil, Hindi, and Telugu. Earlier in the year, the actor delivered a double-digit opening in Telugu with Kuberaa. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) This rare achievement places him in an elite club and highlights his expanding market beyond regional boundaries. He is among the very few actors to deliver double-digit starts in multiple language films, proving his worth as a Pan-India star. Rajinkanth scored a double-digit start in Hindi with 2.0, which also featured Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar, while in Telugu, he unlocked the mark with Jailer and Coolie. Tere Ishq Mein's solid music, emotional storyline, and the refreshing pairing of Dhanush and Kriti Sanon contributed significantly to its big opening. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Considering that the film is a romantic drama and not a mass-heavy action entertainer, the numbers are even more commendable. Given the strong word-of-mouth and positive critical reviews, Tere Ishk Mein is now well-positioned for an excellent opening weekend. If the momentum continues, the film could turn into Dhanush's strongest all-India performer to date.
