Talented star actor Dhanush and heroine Kriti Sanon’s Tere Ishk Mein is turning out to be a solid winner at the box office, showing impressive momentum on its second day. After delivering a strong opening on Friday, the film has witnessed a 20–25% jump on Saturday as per early estimates—an encouraging sign for a romantic drama released in a packed window.According to trade sources, Day 2 collections are currently estimated at ₹18–19 crore nett across all languages.
If the late-night shows continue to run at high occupancy, especially in urban centres and key national multiplex chains, the film may even touch the ₹20 crore mark, which would be an excellent feat for its second day.The performance is especially noteworthy because films that open well in mass circuits often see a marginal drop or a flat trend on Saturday.
However, Tere Ishk Mein has defied that pattern, buoyed by strong word of mouth, consistent audience engagement, and a growing interest among family and youth crowds. The romantic intensity, music, emotional depth, and Dhanush’s powerful performance have been widely praised on social media, contributing to steady footfalls.The film’s stronghold in Tier-2 and Tier-3 centres continues, while multiplex pockets in metros picked up steam on Saturday, indicating that the film is expanding its reach across demographics. Kriti Sanon’s impactful role and the chemistry between the lead pair have also become major talking points.If the positive trend continues, Tere Ishk Mein could aim for an impressive first weekend total.
With Sunday traditionally being the best day for footfalls, early projections suggest that the film may post a ₹55 crore+ weekend, positioning it for a successful run ahead of the crucial weekday test.For now, the Saturday growth has reaffirmed that the audience reception is solid, and the film is set for a superb trending pattern. All eyes are on Sunday’s numbers to see just how high the film can climb.
