Tere Ishq Mein Emerges as a HIT – Registers Strong Monday Hold with ₹8–8.5 Crore, Eyes ₹75 Crore Week 1 & ₹120 Crore+ Lifetime

Tere Ishq Mein has officially emerged as a HIT, registering a solid Monday hold with collections estimated between ₹8–8.5 crore nett. Despite a drop of around 50% from its strong opening day, the hold is highly encouraging, especially considering that discounted Tuesday pricing trends usually push Monday drops higher.

With this performance, the film is expected to reach approximately ₹57 crore nett in four days, setting a strong foundation for the upcoming weekdays. Trade estimates now suggest Week 1 could finish around ₹75 crore nett, and the film is well on track to breach the ₹100 crore nett mark, a highly impressive outcome for a romantic drama without conventional box-office heavyweight appeal.

Strength in Mass Belts, Stability Continues

While Tere Ishq Mein may not have seen extraordinary traction in larger urban multiplexes, it has connected brilliantly with audiences in Hindi mass circuits, which played a crucial role in its robust opening and solid Monday hold. The film’s emotional connect, strong music narrative, and the compelling on-screen chemistry of Dhanush and Kriti Sanon continue to drive footfalls.

Competition Ahead

The big-budget action drama Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh and directed by Aditya Dhar, releases this Friday and may impact Tere Ishq Mein’s screening share. However, given that the film’s strength lies in mass circuits, it is expected to withstand the competition reasonably well, with limited overlap in audience sensibilities.

Industry Reflection

Tere Ishq Mein becomes the seventh HIT of the year, joining the ranks of Chhaava, Raid 2, Sitaare Zameen Par, Saiyaara, Mahavtar Narsimha, and Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat. Once again, the film’s performance reaffirms the importance of strong first-day traction, especially in regional circuits. Films restricted only to metro audiences often struggle to open big, a trend reaffirmed here.

Tere Ishq Mein stands strong and steady, proving once again that emotionally rooted cinema with mass connect can triumph even without superstar-led packaging.
