Tere Ishk Mein Opens to Rs 16 Cr Nett in India

Dhanush and Kriti Sanon starrer "Tere Ishk Mein" opened to a strong box office performance on its debut day, earning approximately Rs 16 crore nett in India and securing a spot among the top openings of 2025. The romantic drama, directed by Aanand L. Rai and released in theaters on November 28, 2025, in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu versions, drew audiences with its intense love story and pre-release buzz, surpassing expectations for a double-digit start.

Early estimates from trade analysts place the film's first-day collection at Rs 16.4 crore to Rs 16.5 crore, pushing it to the eighth or ninth position in the year's highest Hindi film openings. It displaced Akshay Kumar's "Jolly LLB 3," which earned Rs 12.5 crore on its opening day and now ranks 10th, while another Kumar film, "Sky Force" with Rs 12.25 crore, fell out of the top 10 entirely. For context, the year's leaders include "Chhaava" at Rs 31 crore, "War 2" at Rs 29 crore, and "Sikandar" at Rs 26 crore. Produced on a budget of Rs 85 crore including promotions, the film needs to cross this mark to be considered a hit, with analysts noting its multilingual release on around 2,000 screens could sustain momentum through the weekend.
