The much-anticipated romantic comedy starring Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday, 'Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri', has turned out to be a major disappointment at the box office. The film, which released on Christmas Day 2025, has failed to attract audiences and is witnessing a steep decline in its collections week after week.
Box Office Collections: A Steep Downward Spiral
According to the latest figures from industry tracker Sacnilk, the film managed to scrape together only Rs 0.30 crore (30 lakhs) on its 12th day, which was its second Monday. This dismal performance has pushed the film's total domestic collection to a mere Rs 32.30 crore. Industry analysts note that the film showed no signs of growth from its second day itself, marking a continuous downward trend.
The film opened with a modest collection of Rs 7.75 crore but failed to capitalise on the Christmas holiday boost. The week-wise collections paint a clear picture of its failure:
- Week 1 Collection: Rs 30.15 crore
- Day 9 (2nd Friday): Rs 0.5 crore
- Day 10 (2nd Saturday): Rs 0.65 crore
- Day 11 (2nd Sunday): Rs 0.7 crore
- Day 12 (2nd Monday): Rs 0.30 crore
It is evident that the film earned the bulk of its revenue in the first week, and collections have nearly dried up thereafter.
How It Compares to Other Releases
The poor performance of 'Tu Meri Main Tera' becomes even more stark when compared to other films running in theatres. The war drama 'Ikkis', starring newcomer Agastya Nanda, collected Rs 1.35 crore on its first Monday alone. Released on January 1, 2026, its total now stands at Rs 21.50 crore, showing better holding capacity.
The contrast is even sharper with the blockbuster 'Dhurandhar'. The Aditya Dhar directorial, starring Ranveer Singh, continues its dream run. On its 32nd day (January 5, 2026), it earned an impressive Rs 4.5 crore. Its total India collection has soared to a monumental Rs 776.75 crore, proving its dominance since its release on December 5, 2025.
About the Film and Its Cast
'Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri' is directed by Sameer Vidwans and features Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday in lead roles. The supporting cast includes veteran actors like Jackie Shroff, Neena Gupta, and Tiku Talsania in pivotal parts. Despite the promising star cast and a festive release date of December 25, 2025, the film's storyline and execution have seemingly failed to connect with the audience, leading to its box office debacle.
The film's struggle highlights the changing tastes of moviegoers and underscores the fact that a festive release and popular stars are no longer a guarantee for success without strong content.
