Bollywood's glittering world, where typically love stories mix heartbreak with songs, has seen Tere Ishk Mein as the surprise winner.
Conceived by the genius Aanand L. Rai, this 2025 musical romantic comedy features South India's superstar Dhanush as the moody Shankar Gurrukkal and Bollywood's emerging star Kriti Sanon as the passionate Mukti Behniwal.
It is A.R. Rahman’s captivating music that narrates a heartbreaking yet engaging story of imperfection lovers battling societal norms and their own nature. It is now stirring talks about love’s risky side, just like Rai’s earlier masterpiece, Raanjhanaa, since its release on November 28.
The Real Magic Is at the Box Office
What is really happening beyond the film is the real magic at the box office. Friday’s debut of Tere Ishk Mein was marked with a loud ₹16.5 crore, thus confirming Dhanush’s pan-India appeal and Kriti’s star power.
On Saturday, a leap to ₹18.75 crore was observed, thus the weekend total went beyond the ₹50 crore mark—a milestone hardly ever reached by romantic dramas in 2025. Sunday was equally successful, thus the opening weekend total of India came to ₹52 crore.
Films’ Mondays are usually challenging and thus Monday’s collections at ₹8.25 crore were quite impressive, taking the four-day total to ₹60.25 crore. The victory story of the film continued on Tuesday (Day 5) as well, with the next-day figures predicted to be around ₹7-8 crore and many positive reviews on social media being the driving force.
Breaking Records, Winning Hearts
The Hindi version alone has brought in ₹59.34 crore in just four days, whereas the total worldwide gross is ₹74.66 crore. This includes a strong opening in Tamil (₹3.13 crore). In just a few days, the film has made more money than the entire run of Raanjhanaa and is leading the race against the likes of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat (₹48.34 crore in six days) in terms of box office collection.
With a mere ₹50 crore, Tere Ishk Mein is not just a money-spinner—it’s a victory. It seems if the current situation keeps going, it will be able to reach beyond ₹100 crore in its second week.
Why It’s a Must-Watch
Tere Ishk Mein is not just about figures; it is an emotional story. It is a film that reaffirms the raison d'être of Aanand L. Rai's stories which are very relatable. Will it achieve the milestone of ₹100 crore? Only time will tell, but at present, Bollywood is grooving to its rhythm.
If not, then why postponing? Convey your opinions—this love story is one of the best that you shouldn't be missing out!
