As the film enters its sixth day, it stands just short of the prestigious ₹100 crore global mark, a milestone it is expected to cross within the next 24–48 hours.

A Major Career Milestone for Dhanush
In just five days, Tere Ishk Mein has crossed the lifetime collection of Dhanush’s beloved 2013 film Raanjhanaa, officially becoming his highest-grossing Hindi film in India.
Fans and trade analysts are hailing this as a defining moment in his Hindi film career.
What’s Powering the Film’s Success?
A combination of compelling storytelling, layered performances, and memorable music has propelled the film’s impressive performance.
1. Aanand L. Rai’s Signature Storytelling
Rai’s unique ability to blend raw emotions with relatable characters has once again connected strongly with the audience. Many viewers are calling this film the “spiritual successor to Raanjhanaa.”
2. Dhanush–Kriti Chemistry
Dhanush’s intense portrayal of Shankar and Kriti’s nuanced performance as Mukti have received widespread praise. Their pairing has emerged as one of the biggest highlights.
3. Rahman’s Soulful Music
A. R. Rahman’s soundtrack is trending across major platforms. The music has significantly boosted the film’s reach and repeat viewership.
4. Smart Financial Planning
With a reported budget of ₹85 crore, the film has already recovered much of its cost through non-theatrical rights. This means the overwhelming majority of its box office earnings now count as profit.
What Lies Ahead?
The film’s next challenge arrives this Friday with the release of Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar. Although the new release may affect screen count, the current momentum and positive reviews suggest that Tere Ishk Mein will comfortably cross the ₹100 crore global milestone and continue its steady box office run.
The romantic drama is now poised to become one of the biggest Hindi hits of the final quarter of 2025.
