Advance Booking Update (Till 11 PM): Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri Sells 78,840 Tickets in National Chains; Late Surge Visible, But Double-Digit Opening Still a Steep Task
The advance booking scenario for Dharma Productions’ Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri, starring Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday, has shown some late momentum, but the overall picture remains challenging.
As per the latest data till 11 PM, the film has sold approximately 78,840 tickets across national multiplex chains (PVR INOX + Cinepolis). This late-evening surge has injected some traction into the pre-release curve, indicating last-minute interest particularly in urban centres but it is still far from comfortable territory for a mainstream Hindi release.
While the pickup suggests that awareness is translating into bookings at the final stage, the film still has significant ground to cover if it hopes to push towards a double-digit opening, which currently looks like a difficult ask rather than a given.
The biggest hurdle continues to be the brutal competitive environment. Ranveer Singh–Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar is behaving like a box office volcano, dominating screens and audience attention deep into its run, while James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire And Ash is soaking up premium formats and high-value shows nationwide. This twin pressure is directly impacting capacity, show allocation, and visibility for Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri.
Trade feedback still points to muted pre-release buzz as a concern. Despite a popular lead pair, the film’s promotional assets trailer and music have not sparked a strong emotional pull. In the current theatrical climate, urban rom-coms require either exceptional word-of-mouth or cultural urgency to break through, both of which remain uncertain at this stage.
Exhibitors are maintaining a cautious stance, closely monitoring demand before committing additional shows. A strong walk-in component on release day and positive audience reaction will now be absolutely critical if the film is to keep its double-digit opening hopes alive amid such fierce competition.
