What’s the story about?
Fom teasers and early promotional content, the film promises an intense, emotionally charged love saga with equal parts passion, pain and transformation. The director calls it:
“Ishq is only about surrender – letting it heal you, hurt you, and change you.”
In one of the teaser sequences: Shankar (Dhanush) arrives during Mukti’s mehendi ceremony with a heavy heart — his father has died, and he brings river-water (Gangajal) to cleanse the ceremonious event, while confronting his inner turmoil.
The tone is more raw and tragic-romantic than typical love stories: chains of longing, destructive urges, redemption and violence are hinted at. For instance:
“Last time it was Kundan who accepted his fate. But this time Shankar — how will you stop him?”

So expect: strong emotions, possibly tortured characters, and a love story where the cost of loving is high.
Why it’s worth noting
This is the third collaboration between Dhanush and director Aanand L. Rai (after Raanjhanaa (2013) & Atrangi Re (2021)) — so there is built-in synergy and expectations.
The music is by A.R. Rahman, which often elevates a film’s emotional impact and anticipation.
A fresh pairing: Dhanush + Kriti Sanon — both strong actors, Kriti making her mark in more intense territory.The teaser has already made waves for its darker tone, visuals of fire, obsession, and transformation.
What we know about production
Shooting began earlier in 2025 (in locations such as Varanasi) and wrapped around July 2025.
The makers are branding this film as coming from the “world of Raanjhanaa” but not a direct sequel — more like thematic continuation.
The promotional campaign is already active: teaser release, strategic attachments with other films for big-screen buzz
What to watch for
Chemistry of the leads: Will Dhanush and Kriti’s pairing resonate for an emotional story of this scale?
Tone & genre: The teaser suggests darker, turbulent love — if the film leans too heavy it might divide audiences.
Music & visuals: With Rahman + Rai, expectations are high for memorable songs and strong visual storytelling.
Audience reception: Given the “intense” positioning, the balance between artistic ambition & mass appeal will decide its fate.
Release & distribution: With Hindi + Tamil versions, the film seems targeted at pan-Indian audiences — but timely release (28 Nov 2025) is key.
Final thoughts
Tere Ishk Mein looks like a bold romantic drama — not just about meeting & falling in love, but about emotional reckoning, destructive passion, and the consequences of surrender. If done well, it could be a standout in the 2025 romance slate. If it leans too much into chaos without coherence, it might struggle with mainstream audiences.
If I were to rate the anticipation now: High — mostly because of the team + music + teaser tone. But I’ll reserve judgment until full trailer & songs release.
