Tu Yaa Main, starring Shanaya Kapoor and Adarsh Gourav, opened on February 13 with a lukewarm response at the box office, despite its Valentine's Day release. Directed by Bejoy Nambiar, the film was expected to pull young audiences; however, the film struggled to get an audience on Day 1.
As per Sacnilk, Tu Yaa Main collected around ₹55-57 lakh nett in India on Day 1. Running across 1,239 shows nationwide with an average occupancy of around 5-6 per cent on Friday, the film had a slow start that remained throughout the day.
However, Tu Yaa Main managed to surpass the Day 1 collection of Kapoor and Gourav's previous theatrical releases. Shanaya Kapoor’s 2025 film Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan had reportedly earned ₹30 lakh on its Day 1, while Adarsh Gourav’s Superboys of Malegaon (2024) opened at around ₹50 lakh.
Alongside Tu Yaa Main, Shahid Kapoor, and Triptii Dimri's O'Romeo also released on Friday, which dominated the screens as well as audience attention. As per reports, romantic drama opened with ₹8.25 crore.
The WION review of the film read, "Tu Yaa Main is definitely a must-watch film; if you are a fan of suspense thrillers, then it's the one for you now. The 2-hour 25-minute film which is about being free-spirited but responsible at the same time, could have been cut short by a few minutes. Even if you watched the Thai remake The Pool, Tu Yaa Main delivers a different perspective."
Tu Yaa Main is an official adaptation of the Thai thriller The Pool and follows two social media influencers who get trapped in an empty swimming pool with a crocodile. While their battle of survival continues, the film also showcases rivalry, ambition, and resilience under extreme conditions.
