Dhanush emerges as the new dark horse in Bollywood’s box office race

With the thunderous success of Tere Ishk Mein and its continuing run at the theatres, Dhanush has strongly stepped into the race of Bollywood’s box office, emerging as the new dark horse in Bollywood’s box office league. In recent years, actors like Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal have defined the new-age path of Hindi cinema, not just with their capability to explore and experiment, but also because of their collaborations with renowned directors.

Now, Dhanush has made a powerful entry into the league with Tere Ishk Mein, a film that reunites him with Raanjhanaa director Aanand L Rai, and also rides high on strong emotions such as love, betrayal, rage and vengeance.

Ranbir Kapoor has always aligned himself with well-known directors like Imtiaz Ali, Anurag Basu, Rajkumar Hirani, and Sandeep Reddy Vanga. And Vicky Kaushal has served immersive screen creations in collaboration with directors like Meghna Gulzar, Shoojit Sircar, Aditya Dhar, and Karan Johar. Each collaboration has not only offered an edge to their craft but has also heightened their stardom in Hindi cinema.

With Tere Ishk Mein, Dhanush now stands shoulder-to-shoulder with these stars, after having worked with blockbuster directors like Vetrimaaran, Aanand L Rai, Selvaraghavan, and Karthik Subbaraj. And while Ranbir and Vicky have a strong foothold in Bollywood, Dhanush’s stardom in South defines his starpower and mass appeal, one that commands fan-frenzy, box office pull and pan-India credibility that boosts his entry in Bollywood cinema with Tere Ishk Mein.

Having soared past the 50-crore mark, Tere Ishk Mein positions Dhanush as a potential box office force who can balance a rooted narrative with mainstream vision. Going by his filmography across the South and Bollywood, Dhanush is not just stepping into the stardom of Bollywood; he’s offering a new edge to it as a pan-Indian actor.
