Tere Ishk Mein Box Office: Dhanush, Kriti Sanon's Romance Drama Heading To Enter 100 Crore Club

Mumbai, December 6 - Dhanush and Kriti Sanon's Tere Ishk Mein has started the second weekend with a decent hold, scoring approximately 3.75 crores net collection in both Hindi and Tamil versions. The movie has a big competition this week in the form of Dhurandhar, which is clearly the number 1 movie of the weekend. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Directed by Anand L Rai, Tere Ishk Mein lost around 60% shows in the second weekend from the first week due to the arrival of Ranveer Singh-starrer. In the original Hindi version, it raked in 3.50 crores net on the second Friday, dropping by around 77% from the first Friday, and approximately 25 lakh in Tamil. Overall, the romantic drama has piled up 83.25 crores net in Hindi and around 4.15 crores in Tamil, pushing the total domestic haul to 87.40 crores net (103.75 crores gross) through the second Friday. It will cross the 100 crores net mark by the second Sunday, and will become the first movie (Hindi or non-Hindi) of Dhanush to achieve the feat. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Tere Ishq Mein is also putting up decent performance at the overseas box office, grossing an estimated 14.25 crores in 8 days. Combined with domestic gross, it has minted 118 crores worldwide so far, heading towards 135 crores gross at the end of the second weekend. As said, TIK is a box office hit, continuing the good year for romantic dramas. At this point, the film is looking to finish its box office run around 175 crores worldwide, but it needs to be seen how it fares during the weekdays since Dhuradhar is expected to dominate with positive word of mouth by its side.

Dhurandhar Box Office: Spy Actioner Emerges Ranveer Singh's Biggest Opener

Mumbai, December 6 - Ranveer Singh's A-rated high-octane spy thriller Dhurandhar exceeded expectations, delivering the biggest opening day of the actor's career. The film arrived with solid buzz, but its real momentum began just a day before release, when advance bookings picked up sharply, pushing pre-sales to nearly 10 crore on opening day alone. This surge signalled that Dhurandhar was headed toward a significant start. On its opening day, Aditya Dhar's directorial scored an estimated 27 crores in net collection. There are allegations that the makers did some feeding, but the opening is good and career-best for Ranveer after beating Simmba, which minted 20.75 crores net and was the third-biggest Bollywood opening of 2025. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Initially, the trade expected an opening in the mid-teens, but the massive last-minute upswing changed the trajectory entirely. With strong pre-release excitement, the film's first-day projections quickly jumped to the 20 crore range. The anticipation around Ranveer's action-packed avatar and the sleek spy universe helped drive strong interest across metros and mass belts alike. What truly elevated Dhurandhar's opening-day numbers, however, was the strong spot-booking response. Positive early word-of-mouth fuelled walk-in audiences throughout the day, ensuring that the film didn't just rely on advance sales. The combination of action, style, and commercial storytelling appears to have clicked with viewers, resulting in packed shows across key centres. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Worldwide, Dhurandhar has grossed in the range of 40 crores, which is superb. With this impressive start, Dhurandhar becomes Ranveer Singh's biggest opener to date — a milestone that boosts both the film's momentum and the actor's box-office standing. If the audience reactions continue on the same positive note, the film is well-positioned for a strong weekend and potentially a robust lifetime run. Stay tuned...

Pushpa 3 Plans Dropped? Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2: The Rule First Anniversary Post Hints At Goodbye To The Franchise

Hyderabad, December 5 - Superstar Allu Arjun sparked speculations about the future of his mega blockbuster Pushpa franchise after sharing an emotional anniversary post marking one year of Pushpa 2: The Rule. While fans were still hoping for some update on Pushpa 3, the actor instead penned a reflective message that sounded more like a heartfelt farewell than a continuation of the action drama franchise. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Allu Arjun's words have left many wondering whether the Pushpa franchise has quietly come to an end despite earlier confirmations from the team, especially from director Sukumar himself, about a third instalment. In his post on X, the actor wrote, "PUSHPA has been an unforgettable five-year journey in our lives," before expressing deep gratitude to audiences for the "immense love, strength, and courage" they gave the team. AA then went on to thank his co-stars, technicians, producers, distributors, and director Sukumar, referring to the entire experience in a tone fans felt was unusually conclusive. The actor concluded the post with, "With a heart full of gratitude once again... THANK YOU," without any mention of the franchise's plans. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Over the year or so, both Sukumar and the producers have hinted at a trilogy, and Pushpa 3: The Rampage was widely believed to be in development. However, Allu Arjun's anniversary note did not offer a single hint or assurance about the franchise's next chapter. Instead, the post has been interpreted by many as suggesting that the team may have wrapped up the saga with Pushpa 2, or at the very least, that the future of the third part remains uncertain. While the makers in previous interviews indicated that Pushpa would continue, the tone of Allu Arjun's message has hinted but confirmed that he has moved on from the epic journey, which kicked off in 2021. Until the official confirmation, the speculations will continue to swirl around whether Pushpa Raj's journey has reached its unexpected end — or whether Pushpa 3 is still silently in the works. PUSHPA has been an unforgettable five-year journey in our lives.This movie’s audience has given us immense love, strength, and courage to dive deeper into our craft.

Mumbai, December 5 - After the weeks-long speculations, Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar has been confirmed to be a two-part saga, with the second part coming on March 19, 2026, clashing with Toxic and Dhamaal 4. The development was confirmed with post post-credit scene of the film, which got released today. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the spy action thriller is getting a solid reception from the audience despite being one of the longest Indian films ever made, with 3 hours and 34 minutes. It is said that the lead to part 2 is solid and enough suspenseful to excite the audience. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The news about Dhurandhar 2 has been making rounds in the media for the last couple of weeks. It was reported that director Dhar shot over 7 hours of footage, with each shot being important in the context of the story, and it led the makers to come up with 2 parts indeed to release the film in a single part. Produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, Dhurandhar is set against the backdrop of the IC-814 hijacking in 1999 and the 2001 Indian Parliament attack. The film follows India's Intelligence Bureau Chief Ajay Sanyal, who crafts a daring and indomitable mission to infiltrate and dismantle a powerful terrorist network operating out of Pakistan. To execute this high-risk operation, Sanyal recruits an unlikely asset, a 20-year-old boy from Punjab, held captive for committing a revenge-driven crime. Recognising the boy's potential and raw intensity, Sanyal decides to mould him into a weapon capable of penetrating Karachi's ruthless underworld mafia. Stay tuned...
