Dhanush scores a landmark feat as Tere Ishk Mein opens to a strong start in Hindi
Tere Ishk Mein posts a strong 15+ crore Hindi opening, making Dhanush the only Indian star this year to deliver three double-digit day-one releases across languages.
Dhanush continues his exceptional run at the box office in 2025, with his latest Hindi release Tere Ishk Mein registering over ₹15 crore NBOC on Day 1. The film’s impressive opening has positioned the actor at the centre of yet another pan-Indian success story, reinforcing his growing popularity across markets.
The Hindi version’s strong debut reflects both the pre-release anticipation surrounding the film and Dhanush’s expanding footprint among North Indian audiences. With Tere Ishk Mein delivering a double-digit start, the actor has set a distinctive benchmark that no other Indian star has achieved this year.
What makes this milestone extraordinary is the rare feat it completes for Dhanush: three double-digit openers in three different languages within the same year.
- Telugu: Kuberaa
- Tamil: Idli Kadai
- Hindi: Tere Ishk Mein
This cross-industry dominance underscores Dhanush’s versatility and the remarkable consistency with which he has connected with audiences across linguistic boundaries. Each release has showcased him in contrasting characters, yet all have commanded strong viewer turnout from day one.
With Tere Ishk Mein off to a flying start, all eyes are now on how the film sustains over the weekend. But one thing is clear, 2025 is shaping up to be a defining year for Dhanush, who has now firmly cemented his place among the most bankable and widely celebrated stars in Indian cinema today.
Next up for Dhanush is D54 with Vignesh Raja of Porthozhil fame which will be releasing in February 2026, D55 with Rajkumar Periyasamy, D56 with Mari Selvaraj, D57 with Tamizharasan of Lubber Pandhu fame.
