Kriti Sanon and Dhanush's romantic drama Tere Ishk Mein earned Rs 3.65 crore net on day 8 (2nd Friday), pushing its India net total to Rs 87.30 crore despite competition from Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar. The film has recovered its Rs 85 crore budget, eyeing Rs 100 crore soon.
Box Office Performance
Directed by Aanand L Rai with AR Rahman music, the film opened strongly at Rs 16 crore on November 28, surging to Rs 83.65 crore in week 1.

Competition Impact
Dhurandhar's Rs 25 crore opening squeezed shows, but Tere Ishk Mein's emotional pull and critical acclaim sustained footfall. Kriti Sanon hailed the "overwhelming love" blending reviews and earnings.
