CineHub

“Tere Ishk Mein is a bonafide blockbuster as Aanand L. Rai goes wild with raw emotions, superb storytelling, and brilliant performances by the star cast. The characterisation and the entire setup there are perfectly done! Everything flows smoothly without any loopholes. Performance-wise, Dhanush is hands down the man. His eyes do all the talking, and everything else is a bonus! Kriti Sanon is unreal and terrific in portraying emotions. The rest of the cast is fantastic and forms one of the strongest pillars of the film. Aanand L. Rai has gone wild in capturing raw emotions, dialogue placement, and the whole screenplay he has taken care of everything beautifully. Music by A.R. Rahman is the soul of the film!”

“The film rests on two major strengths: several captivating moments and stellar performances. Director Aanand L. Rai known for exploring complex human relationships, returns to his favourite turf – love, longing, and the chaos it unleashes – but with far greater intensity this time. What stands out is Rai's subtlety. He refuses to go overdramatic or loud, a mark of a mature storyteller.”

“Dhanush is phenomenal. He delivers a powerhouse performance, internalising pain, anger, and unfiltered love with brilliance. His transformation – from an ordinary young man to someone consumed by overpowering emotion – is one of the film's biggest strengths. Kriti Sanon delivers her career-best act. In a role that demands vulnerability, grace, and suppressed turmoil, she shines brilliantly. Her electrifying chemistry with Dhanush enhances the drama manifold.”
