Advance Booking Update: Kartik Aaryan–Ananya Panday Starrer Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri Continues to Struggle; Just 13,780 Tickets Sold Across National Chains With One Day to Go
The advance booking trajectory for Dharma Productions’ Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri, starring Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday, continues to remain under severe pressure, with the film failing to generate meaningful traction even as it enters the final pre-release window.
As per the latest data from national multiplex chains (PVR INOX + Cinepolis), the film has sold approximately 13,780 tickets in advance, a figure that remains firmly in the danger zone for a mainstream Hindi release backed by a major studio. While there has been some incremental movement since the previous update, the overall pace is still far from reassuring.
With just one day left before release, the current numbers suggest that the film is heading towards a single-digit opening, unless there is a dramatic and highly unlikely last-minute surge. In the current theatrical landscape, such late turnarounds have become increasingly rare, particularly for urban romantic dramas.
The competitive context further compounds the challenge. Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri is releasing against two dominant box office forces Ranveer Singh–Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar, which continues to post extraordinary numbers deep into its third week, and James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire And Ash, which is commanding premium-format screens nationwide. In this environment, weak advance bookings significantly limit recovery potential.
Trade feedback continues to point towards muted pre-release buzz as a key concern. Despite a popular lead pair, the film’s trailer and music have not managed to strike a strong chord with audiences. Urban rom-coms, as a genre, have increasingly struggled to pull audiences into theatres unless backed by exceptional word-of-mouth or cultural urgency both of which appear absent so far.
Exhibitors remain cautious, with screen counts and show timings being calibrated closely to demand. Without a strong opening-day walk-in component or positive post-release audience reaction, sustaining a theatrical run amid such intense competition will be a steep uphill task.
From a trade perspective, Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri now finds itself at a critical juncture. The final day of advance booking will be crucial in determining whether the film can push itself into a more respectable opening range or whether it enters release day on the back foot.
All eyes are now on the last 24 hours.
