Aanand L Rai’s new film Tere Ishk Mein, starring Dhanush and Kriti Sanon, is set to hit theatres this week. The film has already created buzz, with advance bookings rising steadily across major cinema chains. With early numbers looking solid, the movie is expected to open strongly this Friday.
Dhanush and Aanand L Rai come together again
The film marks the much-awaited reunion of the hit Raanjhanaa team. Fans are excited to see Dhanush and Aanand L Rai come together again for a musical romance. The soundtrack has played a crucial role in building early interest, with songs trending across platforms and increasing the film’s visibility.
Advance booking numbers look promising for Tere Ishk Mein
As per Sacnilk, Tere Ishk Mein has sold nearly 17,000 tickets for the opening day across PVR-INOX and Cinepolis. Of these, PVR-INOX accounts for almost 14,000 tickets. With three days still remaining before release, the numbers are expected to rise significantly. Industry experts predict that total advance sales in national chains could reach between 60,000 and 70,000 tickets if the momentum continues.
Expected opening day box office collection Tere Ishk Mein
Based on current booking trends and estimates by trade experts Tere Ishk Mein is likely to register an opening of Rs 12 crore to Rs 15 crore on Friday, with a stronger possibility of touching the higher end of the range. This would put the film ahead of several big-star releases that opened earlier this year.
The early rush for tickets shows music in boosting a film’s pre-release buzz. Similar trends were seen with films like Saiyaara and Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, where hit music played a key role in increasing audience interest. Industry watchers point out that strong soundtracks not only help films open well but also support their long-term performance in theatres.
Tere Ishk Mein may become another 2025 hit?
With positive booking trends, a popular onscreen pairing, and a director known for emotional storytelling, Tere Ishk Mein has the potential to emerge as one of this year’s clean hits in Hindi cinema. The film’s success, however, may face a test in the second week due to the release of Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar.
A promising Friday ahead
For now, all eyes are on Friday as Dhanush and Kriti Sanon’s Tere Ishk Mein heads toward a strong start at the box office. The film’s performance over the weekend will determine whether it becomes the next big success story of 2025.
