Dhanush and Kriti Sanon‘s Tere Ishk Mein has made a strong entry into the list of biggest Hindi openers of 2025. The musical romantic drama, directed by Aanand L Rai, recorded a solid opening day collection of Rs 15 crore net at the box office. With this performance, the film has secured the 8th position in the top 10 list, which is a great achievement considering the tough competition.
The movie debuted better than several big films featuring A list stars. It opened ahead of Sky Force, Jolly LLB 3, Sitaare Zameen Par, and De De Pyaar De 2, which shows that the film has connected well with audiences. Dhanush and Kriti Sanon have successfully built a strong base, and now all the film needs is good word of mouth and positive box office trends to achieve a Clean Hit verdict.
Chhaava Remains The Undisputed Number 1
The top spot among the biggest Hindi openers of 2025 belongs to Vicky Kaushal’s historical war drama Chhaava. Directed by Laxman Utekar, the film debuted with a massive Rs 29.50 crore net collection. This opening is most likely to remain unbeaten for the rest of the year, cementing its position as the biggest Hindi opener of 2025.
| Sr. | Movie Name | Day 1 Hindi Net |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Chhaava | Rs. 33.10 crore |
| 2 | War 2 | Rs. 29 crore |
| 3 | Sikandar | Rs. 24.75 crore |
| 4 | Thamma | Rs. 23.11 crore |
| 5 | Housefull 5 | Rs. 24.35 crore |
| 6 | Saiyaara | Rs. 22 crore |
| 7 | Raid 2 | Rs. 19.71 crore |
| 8 | Tere Ishk Mein | Rs. 15.06 crore |
| 9 | Sky Force | Rs. 15.30 crore |
| 10 | Jolly LLB 3 | Rs. 12.50 crore |
The second position is held by Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR’s War 2, which opened with Rs 28 crore net. Salman Khan’s action drama Sikandar secured the third spot with an opening of Rs 24.75 crore. The fourth and fifth positions belong to Thamma and Housefull 5 respectively, while Saiyaara grabbed the sixth spot, followed by Raid 2 at seventh.
No Film Crosses Rs 30 Crore This Year
One interesting observation from the 2025 box office is that no film has managed to cross the Rs 30 crore mark on opening day. However, six movies did achieve Rs 20 crore plus starts, which shows there is still strong interest from audiences for the right content. The list clearly shows that both star power and content quality matter when it comes to opening day numbers.
Tere Ishk Mein sitting at the 8th position is a testament to the strong appeal of Dhanush and Kriti Sanon’s pairing, combined with Aanand L Rai’s direction. The film has performed better than many expected, especially considering it is a musical romantic drama in a market dominated by action films.
Can Dhurandhar And Tu Meri Main Tera Break Into Top 5?
All eyes are now on the remaining big releases of 2025. Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar and Kartik Aaryan’s Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri are the last major bets from Hindi cinema this year. Both films carry huge expectations, and fans are eagerly waiting to see if either of them can find a place in the top 5 openers of 2025.
With Dhurandhar set to release on December 5 and Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri scheduled for December 25, the year end box office battle is going to be very exciting. It will be interesting to see if these films can challenge the dominance of the current top openers.
