The Indian box office witnessed a dynamic clash of genres on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, with romantic dramas, animated sequels, and comedy franchises all vying for audience attention. The day's collections paint a clear picture of viewer preference, with one film emerging as the undisputed leader.
Tere Ishk Mein Continues Its Dream Run
The romantic drama Tere Ishk Mein solidified its position as the top earner of the day. The film, starring popular leads, managed to pull in an impressive ₹4.50 crore on its second Tuesday. This strong hold indicates excellent word-of-mouth and sustained audience interest beyond the opening weekend frenzy. The film's total collection is now inching closer to a significant milestone, demonstrating the enduring appeal of well-made romantic narratives in Indian cinema.
Gustaakh Ishq Holds Steady in Second Place
Hot on the heels of the leader was the other major Hindi release, Gustaakh Ishq. This film, which also explores themes of love and relationships but with a potentially different tone, collected a respectable ₹3.25 crore on December 2. Its performance shows that there is ample room for multiple films in the same broad genre to succeed simultaneously, catering to slightly different audience segments. The steady numbers suggest a consistent flow of viewers into theaters for this title.
Hollywood's Animated Challenger and a Comedy Sequel
The global phenomenon Zootopia 2 continued to charm Indian audiences, especially families and younger viewers. The animated sequel gathered ₹2.75 crore on Tuesday, proving that high-quality animation with a universal message has a dedicated market in India. Its collections remain robust week after week.
Meanwhile, the comedy sequel De De Pyaar De 2 added another ₹1.80 crore to its total kitty. While its numbers are lower than the top three, it continues to find its audience, contributing to the overall vibrancy of the box office landscape. The film provides a lighter alternative for moviegoers.
The overall box office report for December 2, 2025, highlights a healthy and competitive market. The fact that four distinct films—a Hindi romantic drama, another Hindi romantic film, a Hollywood animation, and a Hindi comedy—can all draw crowds on a weekday is a positive sign for the industry. It reflects diverse audience tastes and suggests that content-driven films, regardless of origin, can find success. The coming days will be crucial to see how these films hold up as the week progresses and new releases loom on the horizon.
