Tere Ishq Mein Advance Booking Crosses 70,000 Tickets by Day 3 - Sunday Surge Missing Despite Early Momentum
Tere Ishq Mein continues its upward trajectory, yet Sunday has not brought the expected boost. By the end of Day 3, the film has sold approximately 70,000 tickets across national chains, showcasing steady progress but falling short of the aggressive surge seen over the previous day.
Sunday Momentum Fades After Strong Start
While Tere Ishq Mein saw exceptional jumps on Friday and Saturday especially in South metro markets the traditionally high-growth Sunday trend has not reflected at expected levels. Industry insiders cite limited spot booking traction in Hindi circuits and mild weekend fatigue as contributing factors.
However, the 70K ticket mark by Day 3 still places the film among the better-performing romantic dramas of recent times without a conventional box-office superstar headlining it.
South Markets Continue to Dominate
Even on Day 3, Bangalore and Chennai retained their lead, outperforming major Hindi belts. Dhanush’s strong regional pull and the film’s emotionally resonant narrative have driven these markets consistently. In contrast, Mumbai and Delhi NCR plateaued compared to Saturday night trends.
| Day | Tickets Sold (Approx.) |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | 73,000 |
| Day 2 | 79,000 |
| Day 3 | 70,000 |
Factors Driving Performance
✔ Emotional trailer impact sustained across metros
✔ Title track continues to trend on social platforms and music charts
✔ Dhanush–Kriti pairing generating significant audience interest
✔ Early multiplex bookings remained stable
Despite the subdued Sunday pickup, trade expectations remain positive for a strong Friday opening, with industry projections suggesting:
- Lower end: ₹12.5 – ₹13 crore
- Higher end (with spot booking support): Up to ₹17 crore
If word of mouth holds post-release, Tere Ishq Mein still has significant commercial upside, especially in circuits where early traction has already been established.
Tere Ishq Mein goes into release day with strong fundamentals, propelled by its music, emotional appeal, and consistent support from South metro audiences. While the Day 3 numbers reflect stability rather than surge, the film remains well-positioned for one of the best openings for a romantic drama in recent memory.
