Dhanush and Kriti Sanon’s latest romantic drama Tere Ishk Mein continues its strong run at the Indian box office. The film, which crossed the ₹50 crore milestone within its first three days, has maintained a solid performance even as weekday numbers began to normalize. Despite the expected dip after the weekend surge, the movie is still on track for a massive first-week total.
Steady Weekday Hold Despite Expected Drop
According to early estimates by Sacnilk, Tere Ishk Mein collected ₹6.75 crore on Wednesday, marking its Day 6 earnings. This reflects a natural decline from Tuesday’s ₹10.25 crore and Monday’s ₹8.75 crore, but still shows healthy retention for a mid-week day.
With this, the film’s total box office collection stands at an impressive ₹76.75 crore in just six days.
Trade analysts believe that the film’s consistent performance across mass circuits and multiplexes—and its strong word-of-mouth—are key contributors to its box office strength. A successful first week now seems guaranteed, with projections indicating even stronger weekend recovery.
Advance Booking & Audience Response Remain Strong
Advance bookings for the film have been exceptionally encouraging. Exhibitors report strong footfall, especially in North India and South Indian metropolitan markets where Dhanush enjoys a strong fanbase.
Industry insiders suggest Tere Ishk Mein has the potential to emerge as one of the year’s biggest box-office successes. With positive chatter surrounding its emotional storyline, music, and performances, the film is expected to maintain momentum heading into the next weekend.
Storyline: A Love That Defies Logic, Time, and Fate
Tere Ishk Mein follows the intense and emotionally turbulent journey of Shankar, played by Dhanush—an impulsive, temperamental young man whose world revolves around his love interest, Mukti (Kriti Sanon). Their youthful romance blossoms in college, but life takes a turn when Mukti decides to marry someone else.
The story dives into themes of heartbreak, obsession, destiny, and the darker shades of love. The film promises a visceral narrative that keeps audiences invested in Shankar and Mukti’s unpredictable journey.
This film also marks Dhanush’s significant return to Hindi cinema after nearly a decade, following his acclaimed Hindi debut in Aanand L. Rai’s Raanjhanaa. His last collaboration with Rai, Atrangi Re (2021), opted for an OTT release.
Jay-Ho Exclusive
With strong collections, solid word-of-mouth, and Dhanush’s powerful performance driving the narrative, Tere Ishk Mein is well-positioned for a blockbuster-level lifetime run. If the upcoming weekend boosts numbers as expected, the film could comfortably enter the ₹100 crore club within days—establishing itself as one of 2025’s most impactful romantic dramas.
