Mumbai/IBNS, Nov. 29 -- Dhanush and Kriti Sanon's Tere Ishk Mein opened to packed theatres on Friday, registering a strong initial response at the box office.

Directed by Aanand L. Rai, the romantic drama collected over Rs.16 crore on its opening day, with the Hindi version contributing the bulk of the earnings.

Despite the impressive opening, Tere Ishk Mein has received mixed reviews from both critics and audiences. Reviewers have pointed out uneven writing, a convoluted narrative and noticeable logic gaps, particularly in the second half.

The film's portrayal of love has also sparked debate, with some critics describing it as obsessive or toxic, calling the storyline a "flawed tale of toxic love and obsession."
