Tere Ishq Mein Advance Booking Targets Double-Digit Opening Day

Dhanush and Kriti Sanon's upcoming film Tere Ishq Mein, directed by Anand L. Rai, generates significant buzz ahead of its November 28, 2025 release, with advance bookings crossing Rs 5.87 crore gross including block bookings. The movie, releasing in Hindi and Tamil, has sold tickets worth Rs 2.81 crore in Hindi across 10,774 shows and Rs 1.38 crore in Tamil across 595 shows, totaling Rs 2.95 crore from regular sales in India. Trade tracker Sacnilk reports robust national chain performance from PVRINOX and Cinepolis, signaling potential for higher collections as smaller screens join in.​

Trade expert Taran Adarsh expressed optimism to NDTV, predicting an opening day haul of Rs 12 crore or more, driven by promising teasers, trailers, and the successful "toxic lover" theme that propelled Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat to Rs 112 crore earlier. Adarsh noted the film's appeal mirrors recent musical love stories succeeding on strong tracks by A.R. Rahman, emphasizing music's role amid declining box office trends. Early data shows Hindi 2D leading with Rs 48.30 lakh gross from 17,650 tickets in 3,889 shows, pushing totals toward Rs 1.77 crore with blocks.​

The trailer's dramatic haldi ceremony scene, featuring a bruised Dhanush dousing Kriti Sanon with Ganges water amid a chilling dialogue about cleansing past sins, has gone viral on social media. It unfolds a passionate yet destructive romance, with characters seeking solace in alcohol and violence, penned by Himanshu Sharma and Neeraj Yadav. Prakash Raj plays a key role in this third Dhanush-Rai collaboration after Raanjhanaa (2013) and Atrangi Re (2021), contrasting Dhanush's earlier persona.​

Recent updates indicate momentum building, with over 1 lakh tickets sold and Rs 2.6 crore gross reported on Reddit trackers, alongside 20K tickets in initial phases per IMDb. Gujarat chains like Rajhans show early strength at 300+ tickets, a positive indicator for wider appeal. The film's reliance on music over star power positions it as the fourth 2025 hit driven purely by soundtrack buzz.​

Producers Aanand L. Rai, Bhushan Kumar, and Krishan Kumar anticipate sustained growth through release week, especially from single screens where similar genres have thrived. With double-digit opening locked in, final numbers hinge on word-of-mouth and regional traction.​
