New Delhi, 29 November 2025: The magic of Aanand L. Rai and Dhanush has returned to the big screen. Their latest film, Tere Ishk Mein, was released yesterday and has taken a very strong start at the box office. Fans of the duo, who loved Raanjhanaa, thronged to theaters in large numbers. The movie stars Dhanush and Kriti Sanon in lead roles. With soulful music by A.R. Rahman and an intense love story, the film has managed to pull crowds on its very first day.

Tere Ishk Mein Box Office Collection Day 1: A Solid Start for Dhanush and Kriti Sanon

The movie has performed exceptionally well on its opening day. It shows that people are still interested in watching good romantic dramas in theaters. The positive word-of-mouth is helping the film grow quickly. Let us look at the detailed collection numbers.

Tere Ishk Mein Worldwide Collection Day 1 Breakdown

The box office numbers for the first day are very promising. The movie has collected ₹16 Crore Net at the Indian Box Office. When we include taxes, the Gross Collection in India is ₹19 Crore.

The film is not just performing well in India; it has also found an audience outside the country. The movie has collected ₹3 Crore Gross from overseas markets.

When we add the Indian Gross Collection and the Overseas Gross Collection, the total Tere Ishk Mein Movie Worldwide Collection stands at ₹22 Crore Gross on Day 1. This is a fantastic number for a romantic drama.

Collection Type	Amount (Day 1)
India Net Collection	₹16 Crore
India Gross Collection	₹19 Crore
Overseas Gross Collection	₹3 Crore
Worldwide Gross Collection	₹22 Crore

Budget vs Collection: Is the Movie Safe?

Making a movie is expensive, and Tere Ishk Mein is a big project. The Tere Ishk Mein film was made on a budget of ₹85 crores. This is a significant amount for a romantic film.

Metric	Amount
Total Production Budget	₹85 Crore
Day 1 Worldwide Gross	₹22 Crore
Budget Recovered (Approx)	25%

To be called a “Hit,” the movie needs to recover this cost and earn profits. With a worldwide opening of ₹22 Crores, the makers have already recovered about 25% of their budget in just one day. If the movie continues to earn at this speed over the weekend, it will easily cross the safety mark within the first week. The real test will be on Monday, but the start is perfect.

What This Success Means for the Actors and Director

For Dhanush:

This opening is a huge victory for Dhanush in the Hindi film industry. While he is a superstar in Tamil cinema, his Bollywood films often struggle to get huge openings. A ₹16 Crore net opening day proves that he has a loyal fan base in North India too. It strengthens his position as a pan-Indian star who can carry a Hindi film on his shoulders.

For Kriti Sanon:

Kriti Sanon continues her golden run. After giving hit performances recently, this film adds another feather to her cap. Her chemistry with Dhanush is being praised, and this box office number shows that the audience trusts her choice of scripts.

For Aanand L. Rai:

Director Aanand L. Rai is known for his emotional stories rooted in small-town India. After a few ups and downs, this strong opening brings him back to the top game. It proves that his style of storytelling still connects deeply with the Indian audience.

Opinion

Tere Ishk Mein has exceeded expectations. Opening with ₹16 Crore Net is no small feat for a non-action film in 2025. The combination of Dhanush’s intense acting and A.R. Rahman’s music has worked wonders. If the film holds well on Monday, it is definitely on its way to becoming a Super Hit. The budget of ₹85 Crores looks recoverable given this pace. We predict a massive jump in collections on Sunday.
