Aanand L. Rai’s Tere Ishk Mein is showing no signs of slowing down at the box office. After a steady opening weekend and a strong Monday hold, early estimates indicate that Tuesday (Day 5) is headed towards a double-digit figure, signalling solid audience retention through the working week.
The film, led by Dhanush and Kriti Sanon, continues to draw strong footfalls across theatres, especially in key mass belts, tier-2 circuits, and single screens, where the emotional pitch of the narrative appears to be striking a chord. Exhibitors report repeat audiences and stronger-than-expected occupancy in evening and late-night shows.
Industry trackers note that the Shankar–Mukti love story—rooted in conflict, wartime intensity, and Dhanush’s raw performance—has emerged as the film’s biggest driver, connecting deeply with viewers across demographics.
Online momentum remains equally impressive. On BookMyShow, Tere Ishk Mein has already surpassed peak-hour ticket sales marks, outperforming its own weekend traffic and signalling an upward trend in audience demand.
If the current trajectory holds, Tere Ishk Mein could be headed for one of the strongest first-week totals for a romantic drama in recent times, giving the trade its latest mid-year success story.
