Anand L. Rai's Tere Ishk Mein is out in theatres, and starring the new pairing of Dhanush and Kriti Sanon, the expectations from the movie were sky-high. The movie has sparked massive buzz since the announcement, as it was billed as one of the most intense love stories ever witnessed.
The movie, which is the third collaboration between Dhanush and Rai after Raanjhanaa and Atrangi Re, is an intense love drama as it explores the themes of heartbreak, anger, and trauma.
Anand L. Rai's Tere Ishk Mein: What is it about?
Written by Himanshu Sharma and Neeraj Yadav, the movie tells the love story of Shankar, a goon from Delhi University, and Mukti, a short-tempered PhD student. They meet and spend time together, but it’s only the boy who falls for her, not the girl. However, this leads their union to become toxic, and wherever they are, they create havoc. Years later, Shankar becomes a problematic IAF officer who needs counselling for his temper. Their paths collide again, and how the two help each other forms the rest of the story.
The movie, which is said to be in the lines of Raanjhanaa, is totally opposite in terms of story. In this movie, the South star plays the toxic Shankar, far different from his character of Kundan. Kriti has also given a compelling performance.
