Tere Ishk Mein Advance Day 1 Box Office Collection: Dhanush–Kriti Sanon Film Opens Strong, Targets ₹10–12 Crore Day 1
Aanand L Rai’s romantic-drama Tere Ishk Mein has begun its theatrical journey on an encouraging note. Despite lukewarm expectations based on advance booking trends, the film is showing solid traction within the first few hours of its release.
As per early estimates from industry tracker Sacnilk, the film has collected ₹2.09 crore by mid-day on Friday. With afternoon, evening, and night shows still ahead—typically the strongest performing slots—the film is well-positioned to achieve a double-digit opening and is currently eyeing a ₹10–12 crore Day 1 total.
Strong Pre-Sales Support the Opening Momentum
The film wrapped up its advance bookings with:
- ₹5.65 crore gross officially
- ₹9.26 crore gross including block seats
These pre-sales figures provide a positive base for walk-in audiences through the day, giving the film a solid start at the box office.
Hindi and Tamil Markets Show a Sharp Contrast
A closer look at ticketing patterns reveals a striking gap between Hindi and Tamil markets:
Hindi Version
- 12,500+ shows
- Over 2.1 lakh tickets sold
- ₹5.3 crore gross
Tamil Version
- 1,000+ shows
- 26,000 tickets sold
- ₹34 lakh gross
Despite Dhanush being a leading Tamil star, the Hindi belt has clearly taken the lead on Day 1. This raises questions about whether the film might have benefited from stronger Tamil marketing or a wider screen allocation.
Weekend Outlook Depends on Reviews and Word of Mouth
While the opening day numbers are promising, the film’s true box-office potential will depend heavily on critic reviews and audience word-of-mouth. A positive reception could significantly lift weekend collections; however, weak feedback may slow momentum despite the encouraging start.
