Box Office (November 30): Tere Ishk Mein crosses ₹50 crore; Gustaakh Ishq, De De Pyaar De 2 remain average performers
The last weekend of November brought mixed fortunes for Hindi cinema. While Tere Ishk Mein registered a strong run and comfortably crossed the ₹50 crore mark within its opening weekend, other releases such as Gustaakh Ishq, De De Pyaar De 2, and 120 Bahadur continued to show moderate to below-average performance at the domestic box office.
⭐ Tere Ishk Mein crosses ₹50 crore in three days
Aanand L Rai’s romantic drama starring Dhanush and Kriti Sanon has emerged as the top choice for moviegoers. The film collected ₹18 crore on Sunday, supported by strong weekend footfall.
- Total (3 days): ₹51.75 crore
- Strong growth seen across metros and Tier-1 cities
- Positive word of mouth driving family audiences
The chemistry between the lead pair and the film’s emotional storyline have contributed significantly to its impressive opening weekend.
⭐ Gustaakh Ishq sees below-average Sunday
Vibhu Puri’s drama featuring Vijay Varma, Fatima Sana Shaikh, and Naseeruddin Shah struggled to pick up momentum.
- Sunday: ₹0.21 crore
- Total (3 days): ₹1.16 crore
Despite a strong star cast and decent critical reception, the film failed to attract large crowds, facing heavy competition from other releases.
⭐ De De Pyaar De 2 shows slight weekend bump on Day 17
Ajay Devgn’s romantic family entertainer continues its slow but steady march. The film saw a marginal rise on its third Sunday.
- Day 17 (Sunday): ₹1.40 crore
- Day 16 (Saturday): ₹1.35 crore
- Total India collection: ₹71.10 crore
Though performing better than other mid-range releases, the film’s pace has slowed significantly, with business mostly sustained by urban centres.
⭐ 120 Bahadur remains modest on Day 10
Farhan Akhtar’s war drama—based on the heroes of the 1962 Rezang La battle—failed to gain traction even on its second Sunday.
- Day 10 (Sunday): ₹0.79 crore
- Total collection: ₹16.94 crore
While performances and storytelling earned praise, the film’s genre appeal seems limited. 120 Bahadur is now relying on weekday stability and tax-free boosts in some states to improve its lifetime total.
📌 Overall Box Office Snapshot (Weekend Ending Nov 30)
- Clear Winner: Tere Ishk Mein
- Moderate Performer: De De Pyaar De 2
- Underperformers: Gustaakh Ishq, 120 Bahadur
Bollywood’s final month of 2025 opens with a strong showing by Dhanush, while other films continue to battle for audience attention in a crowded release calendar.
