Dhanush and Kriti Sanon-starrer Tere Ishk Mein had a bumper opening at the box office, raking in an estimated ₹16.50 crore net across India on day 1.
Early box office trackers estimated that the Hindi version of the movie made between ₹15 and ₹16 crore, with dubbed versions in other languages contributing the remaining amount to reach ₹16.5 crore on day 1.
The overall occupancy of Hindi theatres was around 25.77%, with lower attendance in the morning (about 15.29%) and higher occupancy at night (41.56%). Afternoon shows had 21.67% occupancy, while evening shows achieved 24.55% occupancy.
According to industry observers, this is the second-biggest romantic movie opening of 2025, only behind Saiyaara. The opening also exceeds the first-day receipts of several other recent movies, such as De De Pyaar De 2, Masti 4, 120 Bahadur and Jolly LLB 3, demonstrating the strong desire from viewers for romantic tales during the holiday season.
With this figure, it has surpassed the opening day receipts of other films this year, including Jolly LLB, which made about ₹12 crore, and Sitaare Zameen Par , which earned ₹10.70 crore. It even made more revenue than the two-week-old love comedy
De De Pyaar De 2, starring Rakul Preet Singh and Ajay Devgn.
Ticket reservations reportedly exceeded ₹1.75 crore before the film's release, and positive early social media reactions showcasing the chemistry between Dhanush and Kriti, as well as the moving music by renowned composer AR Rahman, gave it a strong start.
Additionally, the movie marks the biggest debut of Dhanush's Bollywood career. Dhanush made his long-awaited comeback to Hindi films with Tere Ishk Meinafter his first Bollywood film, Raanjhanaa, directed by Aanand L. Rai, which opened at ₹5.60 crore net. His second movie with the filmmaker,
