Dhanush Kriti Sanon Starrer Tere Ishk Mein Makes History With ₹16.50 Cr+ Opening
Dhanush has created a massive box office storm with the release of Tere Ishk Mein, marking his powerful return to Bollywood. The romantic drama, directed by Anand L Rai and co-starring Kriti Sanon, is headed for an excellent Day 1 total of over ₹16.50 crore nett at the Indian box office — paving its way into the list of the top 10 biggest openings of 2025.
But beyond its commercial performance, the film has earned Dhanush a historic career milestone that only one other Tamil actor has achieved before.
Dhanush Reaches an Elite Feat: Double-Digit Openings in Tamil, Hindi & Telugu
With this impressive Hindi opening, Dhanush has now become only the second Tamil actor in history — after superstar Rajinikanth — to deliver double-digit openings across three major film industries: Tamil, Hindi, and Telugu.
This remarkable achievement solidifies his position as a true Pan-India star and highlights his ever-expanding reach beyond language and regional barriers.
Earlier this year, Dhanush scored a strong double-digit opening in the Telugu market with Kuberaa. With Tere Ishk Mein crossing ₹16 crore+ on its first day in Hindi, the actor has successfully completed this extraordinary triple-language milestone. – Dhanush Kriti Sanon Starrer Tere Ishk Mein Makes History With ₹16.50 Cr+ Opening
Rajinikanth — The Only Other Name on This Legendary List
Before Dhanush, the only Tamil actor to achieve this rare box office feat was Rajinikanth.
-
In Hindi, the superstar delivered a double-digit opening with 2.0, which also featured Akshay Kumar.
-
In Telugu, he achieved the mark with blockbusters like Jailer and Coolie.
Joining Rajinikanth in this exclusive category is a monumental moment for Dhanush, underscoring the actor’s growing national prominence and consistent box office pull across regions.
Why Tere Ishk Mein’s Opening Is Extraordinary
What makes this success even more noteworthy is the genre. Tere Ishk Mein is a romantic drama, not a high-octane action spectacle that traditionally generates larger opening numbers.
Yet, despite the genre typically relying on gradual word-of-mouth growth, the film has delivered a phenomenal ₹16.50–17 crore opening. The factors contributing to this strong start include:
-
The refreshing chemistry between Dhanush & Kriti Sanon,
-
Anand L Rai’s emotional storytelling,
-
A chart-topping soundtrack,
-
And strong anticipation built around Dhanush’s Bollywood comeback.
This performance reaffirms Dhanush’s incredible fan base and star power across India. – Dhanush Kriti Sanon Starrer Tere Ishk Mein Makes History With ₹16.50 Cr+ Opening
