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.

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.

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.
