“Tere Ishk Mein” Movie Review
A Passionate and Poetic Exploration of Love
Aanand L Rai’s Tere Ishk Mein unfolds as a vibrant, emotionally charged love story that celebrates the intensity, vulnerability, and transformative power of romance. At its heart are Shankar (Dhanush), a fiery student activist with a rebellious spirit, and Mukti (Kriti Sanon), a psychology student whose quiet strength and emotional depth anchor the narrative. Their relationship becomes a beautifully layered journey that explores how love can shape, challenge, and ultimately elevate two imperfect individuals.
The film thrives on its poetic storytelling. Aanand L Rai once again proves his mastery in portraying complex human emotions through striking visuals, intimate moments, and grounded character arcs. The messy edges of the story work in its favour, giving the narrative a raw realism that mirrors the unpredictable nature of love. What could have been a typical romantic drama becomes a profound examination of passion colliding with societal expectations and personal struggles.
Dhanush delivers a career-defining performance as Shankar. His portrayal is both explosive and deeply soulful, capturing the turmoil of a man caught between his ideals and the overwhelming force of love. Kriti Sanon beautifully complements him as Mukti, delivering one of her most mature and graceful performances. Her character’s emotional evolution adds richness to the entire film.
AR Rahman’s music breathes life into every scene. His background score elevates the emotional stakes, turning the film into an almost musical experience where melodies guide the heart of the story. The supporting cast, including Prakash Raj and Tota Roy Chowdhury, adds authenticity and subtle brilliance, highlighting the cultural and social layers within the narrative.
While the story takes ambitious turns, each moment ultimately contributes to the film’s emotional impact. Tere Ishk Mein may spark varied interpretations, but that is precisely what makes it memorable. It is a film that invites reflection, conversation, and connection.
With its heartfelt performances, poetic direction, and Rahman’s enchanting music, Tere Ishk Mein stands as a compelling and emotionally rich love story that stays with you long after the final frame.
