Kartik Aaryan Wins the "Romance" Gamble
Critics were skeptical, but the audience has spoken! Kartik Aaryan’s Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri has registered a MASSIVE opening of ₹18.5 Crore on Christmas Day. Despite mixed reviews calling the second half "dragged," the youth flocked to theaters.
The Highlight: The recreated "Saat Samundar Paar" track was met with whistles and dancing in the aisles (thank you, Bombay High Court!).
The Verdict: It’s Kartik’s biggest opening in the romance genre. The "Prince of Monologues" is now the "King of Christmas"!
HISTORY MADE: Dhurandhar Enters the ₹500 Crore Club!
While Kartik ruled the opening day, the biggest cheer of the day belongs to Ranveer Singh. On its 20th day (Christmas), Dhurandhar collected a solid ₹8 Crore, officially pushing its total India Net collection to ₹502 Crore.
The Record: Ranveer becomes the first actor from the "Young Brigade" to cross the ₹500 Cr milestone, silencing every critic who doubted his stardom.
Aditya Dhar’s Reaction: The director simply tweeted a picture of a tricolor flag with the caption: "Mission Accomplished. Jai Hind." 🇮🇳
