After a strong Week 1 run, Tere Ishk Mein faces reality with a sharp fall on Day 8. Can the Dhanush–Kriti starrer revive itself over the weekend?
Dhanush and Kriti Sanon’s Tere Ishk Mein started its journey with fire, excitement and massive hype, but the second Friday numbers have thrown a surprising twist into the film’s box office story. After collecting an impressive ₹83.65 crore India net in its first week across all languages, the film’s Day 8 box office collection stands at just ₹0.83 crore, marking a dramatic slowdown.
The Anand L Rai directorial had enjoyed a promising weekend start, driven by Dhanush’s fanbase, Kriti’s huge urban appeal, and the film’s emotional intensity that connected well with the audience. But the tough competition, weekday drops, and slowing footfalls have now put the film under pressure as it enters Week 2.

Let’s decode the full box office performance, region-wise occupancy, and what this means for the film moving forward.
Tere Ishk Mein Week 1 Box Office Performance
The romantic action-drama delivered a solid first weekend, followed by ups and downs across the weekdays:
| Day | India Net | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1 – Friday | ₹16 Cr | — |
| Day 2 – Saturday | ₹17 Cr | +6.25% |
| Day 3 – Sunday | ₹19 Cr | +11.76% |

| Day 6 – Wednesday | ₹6.85 Cr | -33.17% |
| Day 7 – Thursday | ₹5.8 Cr | -15.33% |
| Week 1 Total | ₹83.65 Cr | — |
The film’s first weekend alone contributed ₹52 crore, proving strong star power and solid initial pull. But the weekday drops were notable—especially the massive Monday fall of almost 54%.
Still, with ₹83.65 crore in its pocket, Tere Ishk Mein closed Week 1 with respectable numbers.
Tere Ishk Mein Day 8 Box Office Collection
Day 8 (Second Friday): ₹0.83 crore
The film witnessed a big fall on its second Friday, dropping below the ₹1 crore mark, which signals a major slowdown. This is common when:
- Competition increases
- Word of mouth stabilizes
- Audience rush is concentrated in Week 1
- The film is driven more by star pull than mass appeal
With the total India net now standing at ₹84.48 crore, the film’s journey ahead will depend heavily on its second weekend jump.

Why Did Tere Ishk Mein Drop on Day 8?
A few reasons behind the fall:
1. Week 2 Competitors
New releases biting into screens and audience attention have affected business.
2. Weekday Slump Already Visible
The film showed steep drops on Monday and Wednesday, signaling fading momentum.
3. Genre Appeal
The romance-drama space usually attracts early footfalls but declines faster if WOM isn’t extraordinary.
4. Morning-only occupancy data
Lower morning numbers often reflect a soft second Friday.
Can the Film Bounce Back Over the Second Weekend?
Yes — if:
• Word of mouth pushes evening and night shows
• Urban centres show better retention
• Tamil version maintains momentum
For now, Tere Ishk Mein needs a 25–40% jump on Saturday to stay on track for a respectable lifetime total.

Final Verdict: Tere Ishk Mein Day 8 Box Office Report
Tere Ishk Mein has slowed down significantly on Day 8, but its first-week performance gives it a strong base. The film’s future business depends entirely on the weekend surge. If it picks up well on Saturday and Sunday, the film can comfortably cross the ₹100 crore mark in India.
But if the dip continues, the film may settle in the ₹95–102 crore range.
Either way — the Dhanush–Kriti pairing has worked, the music has clicked, and the first week numbers show clear audience interest.
Now it’s all eyes on the weekend.
