Dhanush and Kriti Sanon’s Tere Ishk Mein made a fantastic debut in theaters, raking in an estimated Rs 14.50–15.50 crore on its opening day. The film enjoyed strong advance bookings and steady attendance in major cities, marking one of the best openings of the year. Its catchy music, heartfelt storyline, and the nostalgic charm of the Raanjhanaa duo drew in crowds right from the early morning screenings.
This romantic drama brings Dhanush back together with director Aanand L Rai, a duo that previously created a cult classic. The buzz around the soundtrack also contributed significantly, with the songs gaining popularity even before the film hit the screens. The mix of their familiar chemistry, great music, and the timing of the festival weekend helped the film secure a place among the top openers of 2025.
Although the film has received a mix of reviews from critics and some audience members, those impressive opening numbers have given it a strong foundation. Now, all eyes are on the weekend. If the film can keep up its momentum and see even a slight increase, it could easily reach a weekend total of Rs 45 crore, and with a bit more growth, even Rs 50 crore.
