After an impressive weekend, why did Tere Ishq Mein witness a sharp decline on its first Monday at the box office and what does the Rs 60 crore four-day total indicate about the film’s prospects in Hindi and dubbed markets?
Tere Ishq Mein earned Rs 8.25 crore on Day 4.
Mumbai: Aanand L. Rai’s latest romantic drama Tere Ishq Mein, featuring Dhanush and Kriti Sanon, opened to strong numbers on its first weekend but faced a noticeable slowdown on Monday. The film, which released in Hindi along with Tamil and Telugu dubbed versions on November 28, 2025, earned over Rs 15 crore daily from Friday to Sunday, showing a promising start for the new musical romance.
However, as the work week began, box office collections fell sharply, with Monday earnings dropping to Rs 8.25 crore. This represents the first major slowdown in the film’s run and highlights the typical workweek slump that many Bollywood films experience despite strong weekend openings.
Tere Ishq Mein collected Rs 16 crore on its opening Friday and maintained momentum with Rs 17 crore on Saturday. Sunday proved to be the film’s most successful day of the weekend with Rs 19 crore. The Monday decline underscores the gap between weekend enthusiasm and weekday audience turnout.
Despite the drop, early estimates indicate that the film has earned a total of Rs 60.25 crore in India during its first four days. The Hindi version contributed nearly Rs 58 crore of this total, demonstrating that the film’s primary audience remains concentrated in the Hindi-speaking market.
The Tamil dubbed version, despite Dhanush’s strong presence and AR Rahman’s music, has accumulated just over Rs 2.25 crore in the same period. This highlights the limited reach of the film outside its original Hindi release, suggesting that the Hindi-speaking audience is the main driver of box office success.
Tere Ishq Mein Fees: Dhanush to Kriti Sanon, Who got how much?
Tere Ishq Mein is a Hindi musical romance drama and a spiritual sequel to 2013’s Raanjhanaa. The story explores themes of intense love, sacrifice, and personal suffering. Dhanush portrays Flight Lieutenant Shankar Gurukkal while Kriti Sanon plays Mukti Beniwal. Supporting roles include Prakash Raj as Raghav Gurukkal, Priyanshu Painyuli as Ved, Tota Roy Chowdhury as Yashwant Beniwal, and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub as Murari Gupta.
The film’s narrative revolves around a passionate yet turbulent romantic relationship, with music and performances forming key elements of its appeal. The emotional intensity combined with dramatic storytelling is expected to resonate particularly with young audiences and romance film enthusiasts.

Although Monday’s figures show a sharp decline, industry analysts suggest that Tere Ishq Mein has a strong chance to maintain healthy collections over its first week due to the weekend momentum. The Hindi version’s dominance indicates that further growth will depend on urban and multiplex audiences, while dubbed versions may see slower uptake.
The film’s appeal lies in its musical romance elements and star power, which could help it sustain collections in the long run despite typical weekday dips. Upcoming festival weekends and holiday periods may provide additional opportunities for growth at the box office.
