Tere Ishk Mein Movie Review

Day 5 box office collections

According to early estimates from Sacnilk, the film collected an impressive Rs 10.25 crore net collection on Day 5. Of the total collections, it was reported that an estimated Rs 9.50-10 crore was collected from the Hindi version alone.




Tuesday's collections saw good growth from Monday's collections which was estimated to be around Rs 8.25 crore. The movie saw a nearly 50% dip in collections on Monday, after recording its highest numbers on Sunday, by raking in Rs 18.25 crore.

Total India net collections

The film that was off to an impressive start at the box office, earning an estimated Rs 50 crore on its opening weekend, has seemingly kept the momentum going. 'Tere Ishk Mein' has now climbed its way to an estimated total collection of Rs 71 crore India net.

As per the report, the film has earned an all-India gross collection of Rs 84.25 crore.

The film has also shown strong performance overseas, adding Rs 7.25 crore, from international markets. This has taken its worldwide 5-day total to an estimated Rs 91.5 crore.

Romantic film already a hit

According to reports, the film’s worldwide collections have already positioned it firmly on the path to success. With its strong domestic performance coupled with solid overseas earnings, the film is well on track to recovering its estimated Rs 95 crore budget.

'Tere Ishk Mein' surpasses 'Raanjhanaa' collections

What makes Day 5 especially significant is that the film’s domestic gross is now set to cross Rs 82 crore, officially surpassing the lifetime all-India gross of Dhanush’s 2013 hit 'Raanjhanaa' which earned a little over Rs 60 crore net and saw its total collections hit the Rs 81 crore mark. With the Hindi net collection of 'Tere Ishk Mein' already crossing these numbers, it is now Dhanush’s highest-grossing Hindi film ever, and that too in just five days.

Marketed as the spiritual sequel to the 2013 classic, 'Tere Ishk Mein' had good word of mouth, boosting its box office performance. Its impressive weekday hold has also cemented its status as a major commercial hit.

'Tere Ishk Mein' to hit Rs 100 crore mark

With its current pace, 'Tere Ishk Mein' is expected to enter the Rs 100 crore India net club by the end of its first weekend, thus making it Dhanush’s first-ever Rs 100 crore net film in Hindi.

Kriti on playing the role of Mukti

Leead actress Kriti Sanon, had earlier opened up about stepping into the layered and demanding world of her character Mukti. She revealed that shooting the pre-climax and climax scenes for 'Tere Ishq Mein' had been both physically and emotionally draining. “Mutki’s character has a very diverse graph, what she starts from, what she ends up becoming, her choices, her decisions.. there are a lot of layers to what she is doing. A lot is sometimes not said, a lot of justification, a lot of things why she is doing what she is, not said in words.”

She added, "There are a lot of really intense scenes, the pre climax and the climax, which are very very long. That was very draining and we shot it for about 5-6 days. Both physically and emotionally those scenes were extremely draining. At times when I went back home it stayed with me, I felt extremely drained. That scene is the peak of emotions and probably the most intense bit of the film, and it pulled me down the most."

Upcoming competition

The film will face stiff competition at the box office in the coming weeks. The Ranveer Singh starrer 'Dhurandhar' is gearing up for its big release this Friday. Both films will have a week at the box office before they face added competition at the box office with the release of the Hollywood movie 'Avatar: Fire and Ash'.
