In the world of cinema, every film hopes to capture the hearts of audiences and achieve box office success. However, this wasn't the case for "Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri," a much-anticipated collaboration featuring Kartik Aaryan and Dharma Productions. The movie, which was expected to resonate with viewers during the festive Christmas season, unfortunately saw its theatrical run come to an end merely two weeks after its debut, marking it as a disappointing venture.
Despite high expectations, the film failed to reach the critical 50 crore milestone in India—an important benchmark for many Bollywood releases. With Ananya Panday sharing the screen alongside Aaryan, the romantic comedy opened to a lukewarm reception from moviegoers, who offered mixed reviews. To make matters worse, it faced stiff competition from another film, "Dhurandhar," which further hindered its box office performance. After an opening day collection of 8.46 crores, the earnings began to decline steadily, plagued by limited screening opportunities that left little room for growth.
Ultimately, "Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri" wrapped up its box office journey in India after just 15 days, accumulating a net total of 39.14 crores. Given that the film had a substantial production budget of 90 crores, producers Dharma Productions and Namah Pictures found themselves grappling with losses estimated at around 50.86 crores. In a gesture of goodwill, Kartik Aaryan made the decision to forgo his salary of 15 crores in light of the film's underperformance.
For those curious about the financial breakdown, here's a week-by-week look at its performance at the Indian box office (net collection):
- Week 1: 36.34 crores (over 8 days)
- Week 2: 2.8 crores
- Total: 39.14 crores
On an international scale, the film fared slightly better, earning approximately 10.15 crores gross overseas. When combined with its domestic earnings, the worldwide gross totaled around 56.33 crores. While this figure placed "Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri" above other films like "Love Aaj Kal" and "Shehzada," it still marked the movie as Kartik Aaryan's eighth highest-grossing project internationally.
Here's a look at Kartik Aaryan’s top 10 films based on worldwide gross:
- Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3: 421.22 crores
- Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2: 260.49 crores
