Get ready for a massive box office milestone that proves the power of pure romantic dramas. Tere Ishk Mein, starring Dhanush and Kriti Sanon, has achieved something truly special at the box office. The film’s opening weekend collection has not just been beaten, but completely surpassed the entire first week collections of recent urban romantic comedies including Param Sundari, Bad Newz, and Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. This is a remarkable achievement that shows audiences are hungry for intense emotional storytelling.
The Aanand L Rai directed film collected a fantastic ₹50.95 crore net in Hindi across its opening weekend. This number is higher than what Param Sundari collected in its entire first week, higher than Bad Newz‘s first week total, and even beats Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari‘s extended first week numbers. For a pure romantic drama without heavy action sequences, this is an outstanding result.
Box Office Comparison
Here is how Tere Ishk Mein‘s opening weekend stacks up against the first week collections of other urban romantic films released in 2024 and 2025
| Film | Period | Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Total Collection |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tere Ishk Mein | First Weekend | ₹15.06 cr | ₹16.56 cr | ₹19.32 cr | ₹50.95 cr |
| Param Sundari | First Week (7 days) | ₹7.37 cr | ₹10.07 cr | ₹11.04 cr | ₹41.67 cr |
| Bad Newz | First Week (7 days) | ₹8.62 cr | ₹10.55 cr | ₹11.45 cr | ₹44.12 cr |
| Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari | First Week (8 days) | ₹10.11 cr | ₹6.01 cr | ₹7.80 cr | ₹44 cr |
Why This Achievement Matters
What makes this box office performance even more impressive is the genre of the film. Tere Ishk Mein is a romantic drama, not a rom com. It deals with intense emotions, heartbreak, obsession, and revenge. The film has a darker tone compared to the lighthearted urban romantic comedies it has beaten at the box office.
Romantic dramas typically have slower starts and build their collections through word of mouth over multiple weeks. The fact that Tere Ishk Mein opened to such massive numbers on day one and maintained strong momentum throughout the weekend shows the power of the Dhanush and Kriti Sanon pairing, combined with Aanand L Rai’s directorial vision.
Strong Day-To-Day Growth
The film showed excellent growth over the weekend. It opened with ₹15.06 crore on Friday, grew to ₹16.56 crore on Saturday, and jumped to ₹19.32 crore on Sunday. This upward trend indicates positive word of mouth and strong audience appreciation for the intense love story.
The film is now certain to cross ₹75 crore net in its first week, which would be a solid result for a romantic drama. With appreciation among its core audience, the Monday hold will be crucial in determining its final lifetime box office outcome.
