This Christmas, romance arrived on the big screen in a quintessential Dharma-esque manner, but audiences have refused to reciprocate love for the story. The Kartik Aaryan-Ananya Panday-starrer Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri collected only Rs 8.46 crore on opening day, with a four-day total of around Rs 28 crore.
Bihar-based exhibitor Vishek Chauhan isn’t surprised. He told mid-day, “I don’t think the film had any chance from day one. It looks like a stale product, which people have seen umpteen times throughout the previous decade. It is basically the genre that came into being with Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone-starrer Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani (2013). And then Ranbir milked it to great effect with many films. He even managed to get some kind of success with Tu Jhoothi Main Makaar (2023). The audience has seen enough of this genre. Theatrical entertainment works on the basic principle of the ability of the content to create the fear of missing out (FOMO). If your content is not able to do that, the audience will not come to the theatres. If you feel that you will make anything random, then don’t expect numbers.”
