Get ready to celebrate a massive box office milestone. Dhanush‘s Bollywood comeback film Tere Ishk Mein is heading for an excellent opening day of Rs 15.06 crore plus net at the domestic box office. This romantic drama, directed by Anand L Rai and also starring Kriti Sanon, is set to be among the top 10 biggest openings of 2025.
This is not just a great box office number. It represents a historic achievement for Dhanush as an actor. With Tere Ishk Mein, he has unlocked a massive career milestone that only one other Tamil actor has achieved before him. The superstar has proven his Pan India appeal in the most convincing way possible.
Historic Achievement For Dhanush
Dhanush has become only the second Tamil actor, after superstar Rajinikanth, to score double-digit opening days across three major industries: Tamil, Hindi, and Telugu. This is an extremely rare achievement that places him in an elite club of actors who have proven their star power across multiple markets.
Earlier this year, Dhanush delivered a double-digit opening in Telugu with Kuberaa. Now with Tere Ishk Mein opening at Rs 15.06 crore plus in Hindi, he has completed the triple. This achievement highlights his expanding market beyond regional boundaries and proves his worth as a genuine Pan-India star.
Rajinikanth, The Only Other Tamil Actor With This Record
The only other Tamil actor to have achieved double-digit starts in all three industries is the legendary Rajinikanth. The superstar scored a double-digit start in Hindi with 2.0, which also featured Bollywood star Akshay Kumar. In Telugu, Rajinikanth broke the mark with Jailer and Coolie.
For Dhanush to join Rajinikanth in this exclusive list is a huge validation of his stardom and market reach. Very few actors across India can claim to deliver double-digit starts in multiple language films. This puts Dhanush in a league of his own among contemporary Tamil stars.
Why The Opening Is Even More Impressive
What makes Tere Ishk Mein‘s opening even more commendable is the genre of the film. This is a romantic drama, not a mass heavy action entertainer that typically pulls in bigger opening day numbers. Romantic dramas usually have slower starts and build through word of mouth over the weekend and weekdays.
The fact that a pure love story with strong emotional content is heading for Rs 16,50 -17 crore plus opening shows the pulling power of the Dhanush and Kriti Sanon pairing. The film’s solid music, emotional storyline, and the refreshing chemistry between the lead pair have all contributed significantly to this big opening.
