Tere Ishq Mein is directed by Aanand L. Rai The film stars Dhanush (as Shankar) and Kriti Sanon (as Mukti), along with supporting actors such as Prakash Raj. It’s a romance-drama — but not a typical love-story. It deals with intense, raw emotions, complicated relationships, and the darker side of love: obsession, trauma, social conflict, and inner demons.
Story & Themes (Without Spoilers)
The film begins with Mukti, a psychology student, who believes that violence is like appendicitis something harmful that can be cured through empathy and therapy. She meets Shankar, a violently aggressive young man, and offers to treat him — ostensibly as part of her research What begins as a clinical/academic experiment slowly blurs into emotion: Shankar falls deeply in love, and Mukti’s boundary between.
therapist” and “partner” begins to fade. As their relationship develops, love spirals into obsession, insecurity, and class family conflict. The film attempts to explore whether love can heal pain and violence — or whether it becomes destructive. It forces you to question: When does love cross the line into toxicity? And can intense emotional trauma be “fixed” by love alone?
What the Film Does Well
Performances: Dhanush delivers a raw, emotionally charged performance his portrayal of inner turmoil, heartbreak and obsession is powerful. Kriti Sanon brings nuance and vulnerability to her role; her emotional range adds weight to the story.Emotional Impact: For viewers who don’t mind intense, messy love stories the film’s emotional highs hit hard. When the romance is working, and the pain is real, Tere Ishq Mein succeeds in making you feel.
Music & Cinematics: The soundtrack (by A. R. Rahman) and cinematography add mood and atmosphere. Some scenes — especially emotional or dramatic ones — benefit from this immersive audio-visual toneStory & Logic Flaws: The narrative sometimes feels inconsistent or implausible. Certain character decisions — especially by Mukti, a psychology student with agency — feel unrealistic given her background
Toxic Romance & Glorification of Violence: The movie often romanticizes obsession, aggression, and possessiveness. What may be intended as “passionate love” sometimes crosses into dangerous territory. For modern sensibilities, that can feel unsettling or irresponsible Pacing & Length: Clocking in at nearly 3 hours, the film’s second half especially lags. Sub-plots, tonal shifts (college-love → social conflict war + trauma), and melodrama sometimes make it feel over-stretched

And Who Should Be Cautious
Appreciate emotionally heavy, intense romance stories rather than light-hearted love stories. Don’t mind “imperfect love” — love that’s messy, painful, and even uncomfortableAre ready to accept discomfort if it comes with powerful performances and cinematic intensity. Be cautious if you: Prefer stories with realistic character arcs and social sensitivity towards mental health or boundaries
Dislike films that romanticize violence, obsession, or possessiveness. Prefer tighter scripts, balance, and lighter emotional fare over melodrama. Tere Ishq Mein is not a conventional “feel-good” romance. It doesn’t sugar-coat emotions or relationships. Instead, it throws you into an emotional storm — raw love, heartbreak, pain, obsession, and conflict
If you surrender to its intensity, the performances by Dhanush and Kriti Sanon — and the emotional highs — can make it a memorable film. But if you expect something balanced, or a clean, socially responsible love story, this one might leave you unsettled In short: It’s powerful and polarizing. A film that will move some deeply — and make others question what “love” means.
