Kriti Sanon and Dhanush's 'Tere Ishk Mein' had a strong opening week, crossing Rs 80 crore. However, its second Friday
saw a significant drop to Rs 3.65 crore, its lowest single-day collection, due to the arrival of Ranveer Singh's
'Dhurandhar'. Despite the competition, the film is nearing Rs 100 crore, with Sanon expressing gratitude for the
audience's overwhelming love.
Kriti Sanon and Dhanush’s romantic drama ‘Tere Ishk Mein’, which released in cinemas on 28 November 2025, enjoyed a
strong opening week at the domestic box office. The film crossed Rs 80 crore in its first seven days, showing that
audiences were drawn to its emotional story and performances.Tere Ishk Mein Movie Review But as the film entered its
second week, the box office scene changed with the arrival of Ranveer Singh’s new release ‘Dhurandhar’. The fresh buzz
and strong pull of ‘Dhurandhar’ have created tough competition for the romantic drama. Here is a detailed look at how
‘Tere Ishk Mein’ performed on day 8.
‘Tere Ishk Mein’ box office collection day 8
The collection of ‘Tere Ishk Mein’ dropped sharply on day 8. As per early estimates from Sacnilk, the film earned Rs
3.65 crore on its second Friday. This is the film’s lowest single-day figure, as it had not fallen below Rs 5 crore on
any day since its release.
Day-wise India net collection
Day 1 [1st Friday] Rs 16 crore Day 2 [1st Saturday] Rs 17 crore Day 3 [1st Sunday] Rs 19 crore Day 4 [1st Monday] Rs
8.75 crore Day 5 [1st Tuesday] Rs 10.25 crore Day 6 [1st Wednesday] Rs 6.85 crore Day 7 [1st Thursday] Rs 5.8 crore Week
1 total Rs 83.65 crore Day 8 [2nd Friday] Rs 3.65 crore Total Rs 87.30 crore
‘Dhurandhar’ may further affect the film’s second week
One of the major reason behind the fall in the collection is Ranveer Singh’s new film ‘Dhurandhar’. As reported by
Sacnilk, the film collected over Rs 25 crore on its opening day. With such a strong start, ‘Dhurandhar’ has grabbed
audience attention and pulled large crowds to cinemas. This has naturally reduced the footfall for ‘Tere Ishk Mein’,
making the second week more challenging for the romantic drama.
Film moves closer to Rs 100 crore
Before the second Friday drop, the film seemed to be smoothly moving towards the Rs 100 crore mark. With a total of Rs
87.30 crore at the end of day 8, the target is not far away. However, the film now needs strong weekend growth to stay
on track. If collections rise on Saturday and Sunday, ‘Tere Ishk Mein’ can continue its journey with confidence. But
with ‘Dhurandhar’ performing strongly, the competition is much tougher now.
Kriti Sanon responds to the audience love
As the film continues its box office run, Kriti Sanon shared her thoughts on the response it has received. Speaking to
Hindustan Times, she said, “It's extremely overwhelming. The film has received so much love. I, as an actor, have
received so much love. It's rare for a film to get great reviews, critical acclaim for performances, and strong box
office numbers. I'm getting all of it at the same time. I couldn't have asked for more. ”
The Times of India rated the film 2.5 out of 5 stars and highlighted concerns about the writing and pace. The review
states, “At a little under three hours, the movie feels overlong, and the pacing remains uneven across many portions.
The writing is also riddled with inconsistencies and contradictions. For a psychologist with a PhD, Mukti is oddly
manipulative and unable to handle Shankar’s intense emotions, despite repeatedly insisting she knows exactly how to deal
with him. A disillusioned and aggressive lover casually walking into an IAS and Joint Secretary’s home with petrol bombs
and what relatives assume is acid simply doesn’t add up. There is also a random sequence featuring a pandit (Zeeshan
Ayub Mohammad) punning on Lord Shiva and “mukti”, which appears completely out of place and without context. A love
triangle and Mukti’s alcohol addiction in the second half further add to the convoluted plot.”
