The romantic drama 'Tere Ishk Mein', starring Dhanush and Kriti Sanon, has stormed past a major milestone in its opening week. The film has successfully crossed the coveted Rs 100 crore mark in worldwide collections within just seven days of its release, setting a new career high for its leading man in Bollywood.
A Strong Start Meets A Weekend Showdown
After a powerful opening day of approximately Rs 16 crore, the film saw its collections soar over the weekend. It earned Rs 17 crore on Saturday and peaked with its best single-day haul of Rs 19 crore on Sunday. The momentum carried into the weekdays with a steady performance, though a noticeable dip was recorded on the seventh day, with early estimates suggesting a collection of around Rs 5.75 crore. This decline comes just as the film prepares for a significant box office battle against Ranveer Singh's 'Dhurandhar' in its second weekend.
Detailed First Week Box Office Breakdown
The film's journey through its first week showcases a classic pattern of a big opener. After the Sunday high, Monday saw a predictable slowdown to Rs 8.75 crore, but collections interestingly rose again on Tuesday to Rs 10.25 crore. Wednesday brought in about Rs 6.85 crore, followed by Thursday's Rs 5.75 crore. This brings the total India net collection to roughly Rs 83.60 crore at the close of Week 1.
Domestically, 'Tere Ishk Mein' has shown remarkable holding power. Industry reports highlight strong retention in key metropolitan markets like Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, and Bengaluru, with mass-centric circuits also performing robustly. The film's gross collection from India alone stands at an impressive Rs 99.50 crore, officially making it Dhanush's highest-grossing Bollywood venture to date.
Global Footprint and Career Milestones
The overseas contribution, while modest at an estimated Rs 8.5 crore gross, is reported to be in line with expectations for a romantic genre film in international markets. Combining the domestic and international figures, the movie's worldwide total has surged past Rs 108 crore in its debut week.
This achievement is doubly significant for the lead pair. For Dhanush, this marks his first Bollywood film to enter the Rs 100 crore gross club. For Kriti Sanon, 'Tere Ishk Mein' becomes her seventh project to cross this major financial benchmark, further cementing her position as a bankable star. The film's success sets the stage for a crucial second weekend where it will defend its screens and audience against new competition.
