Tere Ishk Mein is building a solid trajectory at the box office, and the early weekend trend shows that audiences are responding strongly to its emotional depth and raw performances. The Aanand L Rai film may have arrived without the cushion of a holiday release, but its consistent numbers are giving it a steady rise through the weekend.
Day 2 Box Office: Another Strong Jump
Saturday brought a positive bump for the film, collecting ₹17 crore, slightly higher than its ₹16 crore opening day. With this, the two-day total stands at ₹33 crore, a healthy sign that word of mouth is clicking with its core urban audience.

Why the Film Is Striking a Chord
At its heart, Tere Ishk Mein tells a story of messy, overwhelming love. Kriti Sanon’s Mukti and Dhanush’s Shankar fall into a bond that burns brighter than it should, only to break apart just as fiercely. Shankar’s descent into rage and obsession becomes the emotional turning point of the film, grounding it in the classic Aanand L Rai territory — heightened emotions, flawed lovers, and dramatic consequences.
A.R. Rahman’s music and Irshad Kamil’s lyrics add a layer of depth that many viewers have praised as one of the film’s strongest elements.
Behind the Scenes
The film is produced under Gulshan Kumar, T-Series, and Colour Yellow Productions, with Aanand L Rai, Himanshu Sharma, Bhushan Kumar, and Krishan Kumar backing the project. The collaboration once again brings together a team known for high-emotion storytelling and memorable soundtracks.
Final Words
With ₹33 crore in two days and strong viewer chatter, Tere Ishk Mein is shaping up to be a standout romantic drama of the season. The film’s early numbers also place it ahead of several recent romance-oriented releases, reinforcing its appeal among audiences looking for intense, character-driven storytelling. If Sunday shows another upward swing, the film could end the weekend on an impressive high.
