Tere Ishq Mein Hits Cinemas Amid Dhanush–Mrunal Dating Buzz
Tere Ishq Mein Hits Cinemas Amid Dhanush–Mrunal Dating Buzz
Tere Ishq Mein has finally arrived in theatres, and instead of just talking about the film, the internet is now buzzing with dating rumors between Dhanush and Mrunal Thakur. Mrunal’s warm message praising Dhanush’s “beautiful journey” sparked fresh speculation, while the film itself is grabbing attention for its intense storytelling. Directed by Aanand L. Rai, the movie stars Dhanush and Kriti Sanon in a deep emotional drama that has already started debates both for the right reasons and the wrong ones.
New Ideas Face Old Resistance
Just like what happened with Animal, Tere Ishq Mein is now facing criticism from people who seem more focused on opinions than on the actual film. Instead of talking about the strong acting, powerful music, and emotional depth, some viewers are stuck on the idea that the hero appears “stronger” than the heroine. But the truth is simple the film is solid. Dhanush has delivered a raw, heartbreaking performance, and Kriti has matched him beautifully. Only a slightly stronger ending could have made it a complete masterpiece.
Public Loves It, Critics Don’t Matter
Despite the noise, the audience is responding positively. Viewers are enjoying the bold storytelling, and many refuse to accept unnecessary criticism. As the creator of this world, Aanand L. Rai proves again that he knows how to stir emotions. The film’s impact has forced everyone to talk, whether they like it or not.
Box Office: A Strong Start, But Tough Road Ahead
The film’s budget is around ₹85–90 crore, which means it must hit ₹130 crore to become a Hit, and ₹150 crore to be a Superhit. On Day 1, Tere Ishq Mein earned over ₹15 crore in Hindi and just under ₹1 crore in Tamil a surprising gap considering Dhanush’s huge Tamil fanbase. Still, this is the highest opening of Dhanush’s career and also one of Kriti Sanon’s strongest starts.
With a worldwide Day 1 total of ₹22 crore, the film is expected to reach ₹50 crore by Sunday and nearly ₹70 crore worldwide over the weekend. Monday will see a dip, but the “₹99 ticket offer” on Tuesday is expected to push numbers back up, strengthening its path toward ₹100 crore.
Can It Match Saiyaara’s Numbers?
Here’s the surprising part: even though Tere Ishq Mein has richer content and deeper storytelling, it is still far behind Sayara in terms of business. Why? Because the younger audience, often mocked as “Nibba-Nibbi crowd,” are the ones driving today’s box office. They turned Sayara into a ₹600 crore monster, while Tere Ishq Mein might struggle to even reach half of that despite being a better film artistically.
A Tight Release Window Could Hurt the Film
The movie will comfortably cross ₹100 crore in Hindi, but its bigger challenge begins next Friday when Dhurandhar releases and eats into the screens. The content is strong, the response is great, but the one-week gap between two big releases is a risky move. This will make the journey from ₹120 crore to ₹150 crore much harder than expected.
Final Thoughts: What Did You Feel?
Box office numbers never define a film’s soul. So here's the real question what did YOU feel?
Did the film lack anything for you? Does it deserve ₹100 crore? ₹200 crore? More? Before leaving, share your honest thoughts. Your voice decides the film’s future more than the critics ever will.
