Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday’s rom-com Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri finally hit theaters on December 25, 2025, but honestly, it’s struggling to keep pace. The film tried to cash in on the Christmas crowd, but with Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar still pulling in fans three weeks after release, and Hollywood’s Avatar: Fire and Ash grabbing eyeballs left and right, there isn’t much space left for anyone else. Sure, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri managed to cross the ₹10 crore mark in just two days, but there’s barely any growth from its opening day. The excitement just isn’t sticking.

On Friday, December 26 (Day 2), early numbers showed the film collecting around ₹4.5 crore net in India, nudging the domestic total just past ₹10 crore. That’s not a great jump from Day 1 (₹8.46 crore). It’s a slowstart, not the fireworks you’d expect from a big holiday release.

Look at the day-to-day numbers:

- Day 1: ₹8.46 cr
- Day 2: ~ ₹4.45 cr

- Total after Day 2: About ₹13 crore (India net, as per estimates)

Everyone expected the opening weekend to deliver, especially with the Kartik–Ananya pairing and all the pre-release buzz. But things cooled off fast. As soon as the first working day rolled around, ticket sales dipped. Morning shows on Day 2 were nearly empty, barely scraping ₹50 lakh. People just didn’t show up.

Meanwhile, Dhurandhar is still the king at the box office, blowing past Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri and holding strong in its third week. The action thriller has sucked up most of the screens and attention, squeezing out newer films. Add in the global juggernaut Avatar: Fire and Ash, which is still packing theaters everywhere, and it’s clear why Kartik and Ananya’s latest is fighting an uphill battle.

Reactions have been all over the place. Critics and audiences are split, some people love the chemistry and a few emotional moments, but most call the story pretty bland. Outside the hardcore fans, not many seem to care. The buzz just isn’t loud enough to boost ticket sales.

Directed by Sameer Sanjay Vidwans and backed by Dharma Productions and Namah Pictures, the movie follows Ray and Rumi as they stumble through love, family drama, and big life choices. Jackie Shroff, Neena Gupta, and Tiku Talsania round out the cast. They add some flavor, but, let’s be real, they haven’t moved the needle at the box office.

Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri is stuck in neutral after Day 2. It did cross the ₹10 crore mark, but there’s no real momentum. With Dhurandhar and Avatar: Fire and Ash hogging the spotlight, and reviews stuck in the middle, this one’s facing a tough road as it heads into the weekend.
