Tere Ishk Mein Box Office: Crosses Entire India Net of Raanjhanaa To Become Dhanush's Biggest Bollywood Grosser

Mumbai, December 2 - Director Anand L Rai's Tere Ishk Mein is turning out to be a major box office success. Starring Dhanush and Kriti Sanon, the romantic drama has capitalised on its strong pre-release buzz and is now firmly on track to breach the 100 crores India net mark. Touted as the spiritual sequel to 2013's Raanjhanaa, the latest blockbuster has had a superb opening weekend, followed by a very good hold on Monday to score around 61 crores net, including 58 crores in Hindi in 4 days, becoming Dhanush's biggest Bollywood net grosser. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The national-award-winning actor's previous biggest Bollywood grosser was Raanjhanaa (60+ crores net), which marked his Bollywood debut a decade ago. At the time of penning this piece, Tere Ishk Mein Hindi version has also outgrossed the entire net total of his debut film and has become his number 1 Hindi grosser in just 5 days. In terms of gross figures, the film is heading to collect over 10 crores gross on Tuesday (Day 5), which will push its domestic gross above 82 crores — already ahead of Raanjhanaa's lifetime total of 81+ crores. The movie also has a shot to outgross Raanjhanaa's worldwide total of 93+ crores under 5 days, depending on where the day ends. With strong word of mouth and steady weekday trends, Tere Ishk Mein is all set to enter the 100 crores net club, mostly by the end of the second weekend. When it does, it will become Dhanush's first 100 crores net film — in Hindi or in any other language — making this success even more special for the National Award-winning actor, whose primary body of work has been in Tamil cinema.

Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar Censored With 'A' Certificate: Runtime, Powerful Synopsis and Key Details Revealed

Mumbai, December 2 - Ranveer Singh's much-talked-about action spectacle Dhurandhar has cleared censorship, and it has intensified the buzz around the film. The Aditya Dhar-directed mega venture has been censored with an 'A' (18+) certificate, confirming that the film will retain its gritty and violent narrative without major compromises, something fans were speculating about ever since the trailer hinted at its raw, high-intensity tone. Adding to the excitement, the runtime has now been officially locked at 3 hours and 34 minutes, making Dhurandhar one of the longest big-scale Bollywood films ever. The extended duration signals an expansive storyline, large-scale world-building, and deep emotional and political layers that the film intends to explore. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The runtime reportedly includes a 4-minute-long post-credits scene, which will act as a teaser of Dhurandhar 2. Despite the length, industry chatter suggests that its gripping plot and heavy-duty action sequences are expected to keep audiences hooked. Meanwhile, the official synopsis has also been unveiled, and it promises a hard-hitting narrative rooted in real historical events. 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. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 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. With its explosive premise, intense patriotic undertones, Ranveer Singh's commanding presence, powerful rest of the cast and now confirmed certification and runtime, Dhurandhar is shaping up to be one of the boldest and most ambitious releases of 2025. All eyes are now on its theatrical arrival on December 5, which is expected to create a storm at the box office. Stay tuned...
