Mumbai witnessed a wave of nostalgia and celebration as Kriti Sanon and Dhanush starrer Raanjhanaa (2013) completed 12 years. The event was celebrated with a special screening for fans. The event saw the presence of the film's team – Dhanush, Director Aanand L Rai, writer Himanshu Sharma, lyricist Irshad Kamil, actor Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub and Naman Jain.

Coming off a dream hat-trick – from Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya to The Crew to her double role in Do Patti – Kriti is having a dream run with an array of new genres. Aanand L Rai's world of soulful romance adds another meaningful chapter to Kriti's impressive filmy career. Kriti, in her most candid self, took to the mic and said, 'I should be sitting with the fans there. I have had the pleasure of working with all these people. We have not had a scene. And I was not supposed to say that!' The audience erupted in laughter, and she continued, 'I am so, so glad to be a part of Tere Ishk Mein. I am assuming all of you know (that we are doing this film).' As fans cheered in response, Kriti added, 'It is coming this year. I am a huge fan of Raanjhanaa and all the artists involved in this film. Aanand sir ke toh main peeche hi padi thi ki 'Aap kab love story bana rahe ho?' I am happy that I have ticked the box of being directed by Aanand L Rai in a love story.'Talking about her co-star Dhanush, Kriti said, 'I have always been a huge fan of Dhanush. It's been a pleasure working with you. We still have some more days to go. So, I am looking forward to those few days that we have together on screen. If you all have loved Raanjhanaa so much that even after 12 years, you are here, and if you love stories, hopefully you will enjoy Tere Ishk Mein. And hopefully, I will see you all in November end during a fan screening of this sort.'.While Tere Ishk Mein has been in the making for a while, insiders describe it as a marathon journey for Kriti, both emotionally and physically. The role demanded that she dig deep, explore new shades of vulnerability and break free from what audiences have seen of her before.After acing futuristic romance, edgy comedies and intense thrillers, Kriti now finds herself in the soulful universe of Aanand L Rai – something she's long dreamed of. With fans already creating buzz and speculating about the film's plot, and Kriti confirming a year-end release, Tere Ishk Mein is one of the most awaited love stories of the year.

Kuberaa Box Office Collections: Dhanush starrer richer with 79cr weekend worldwide
Kuberaa delivered a strong opening weekend, grossing Rs. 79 crore worldwide, of which Rs. 53 crore came from the domestic market and Rs. 26 crore (USD 3 million) from overseas. The Telugu version led the way, both in terms of collections and trend, while the Tamil version underperformed on both counts.

The weekend trend has assured the success status for the film, though it will be the Monday hold that stamps it. The day-wise box office collections of Kuberaa in India are as follows: The performance could have looked even more impressive if the Tamil version had done its bit, given that the headliner of the cast is a Tamil star, Dhanush. However, the film had a below-par opening in Tamil Nadu, and then the weekend trend was bad, with Sunday collecting less than Friday. The Tamil version also underperformed overseas. This has been a terrible year for the Telugu box office, with barely any major releases since Sankranti in January. A couple of mid-level hits aside, the landscape has remained dry. In that context, Kuberaa has brought a much-needed breather, but a lot more is needed. The territorial breakdown for Kuberaa is as follows:
