That particular article wasn't included in the search results available to me. However, I can create an engaging blog post based on the information from the search results I do have about "Tere Ishk Mein" and its box office performance. Here's a blog post for you: --- ## 🎬 Dhanush's Record-Breaking Moment: Why "Tere Ishk Mein" is the Romantic Comeback We've Been Waiting For **Hook:** Forget everything you thought you knew about romantic films in 2025. A Tamil superstar and a Bollywood darling just proved that love stories still have the power to pack theaters—and it's breaking records in ways nobody expected. **The Big Story** When "Tere Ishk Mein" hit theaters on Friday, November 28, it didn't just open well—it opened *spectacularly*[1]. The Dhanush and Kriti Sanon starrer earned Rs 16.5 crore on its opening day, marking **the highest-grossing opener of Dhanush's entire Bollywood career**[1]. This isn't just a number; it's a statement about the changing landscape of Hindi cinema. **Why This Matters** The film currently stands as the **second biggest opening for a romantic film in 2025**, right after "Saiyaara," which minted Rs 20 crore on its first day[1]. But here's what makes "Tere Ishk Mein" truly significant: it's crushing the opening day figures of numerous big-budget releases this year, including "Jolly LLB 3" (Rs 12 crore) and "Sitaare Zameen Par" (Rs 10.70 crore)[1]. Even more impressively, it outperformed the opening day collection of "De De Pyaar De 2," the Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh romantic comedy that released two weeks earlier[1]. **The Nostalgia Factor** Part of the film's success undoubtedly comes from the **"Raanjhanaa" nostalgia**—this marks the reunion of director Aanand L Rai and actor Dhanush, a combination that resonated strongly with audiences[1]. The chemistry between Dhanush and Kriti Sanon, combined with this directorial partnership, created a potent formula that audiences couldn't resist. **A Sign of Romance's Revival** What's particularly noteworthy is that this strong performance suggests that **intense romantic movies have made a comeback post-pandemic**[1]. After years of audience fatigue with the genre, "Tere Ishk Mein" proves that when romance is done right—with the right casting, direction, and emotional depth—it can still dominate the box office. The film's good reviews and positive word-of-mouth have already translated into increased footfalls during night shows and spot bookings[1], indicating that audiences aren't just showing up for the first-day curiosity—they're genuinely enjoying what they're seeing. **What's Next?** With such a strong opening, "Tere Ishk Mein" is expected to **dominate the box office in the coming weeks**, potentially pushing other releases like "Masti 2" and "120 Bahadur" further into the background[1]. For Dhanush, this is a watershed moment in his Bollywood journey, proving that he can lead a romantic film to blockbuster status. For Kriti Sanon, this positions as her second-highest opener in the post-pandemic era. --- ```html
