Rating: 3.5/5 – Reviewer: Taran Adarsh – Source: Thread
Director Aanand L. Rai, celebrated for his exploration of intricate human relationships, revisits themes of love and longing with heightened intensity in his latest work. Rai’s storytelling is characterized by its subtlety; he avoids melodrama, a testament to his maturity as a filmmaker. Even during high-tension moments, he maintains a level of restraint. However, a more concise narrative could have amplified the film’s overall impact, particularly in its final act, which feels somewhat drawn out and could benefit from a more impactful resolution.

Writers Himanshu Sharma and Neeraj Yadav present a multi-layered love story that captivates viewers with its twists and turns. The complexity of the narrative keeps the audience engaged and guessing about what will happen next. Overall, “Tere Ishk Mein” is positioned to be a box-office success, with the potential to become a hit.
Rating: 2/5 – Reviewer: Saibal – Source: NDTV
The film navigates a narrative of obsession, hindered by a significant class and temperament divide between a fiery Delhi University student leader and the studious daughter of a senior bureaucrat, who is researching violence and its prevention. While A.R. Rahman’s musical score provides a small reprieve, the overall execution of “Tere Ishk Mein” lacks coherence, rendering it more of a love story that feels like an advertisement for love itself.

Despite its flaws, “Tere Ishk Mein” delivers emotional highs that resonate deeply. By the film’s conclusion, it becomes clear that this is not merely a love story; it demands emotional investment from its audience.

The film raises questions about the portrayal of masculinity. It challenges the glorification of aggressive male characters and prompts a reflection on whether this is the type of hero we want to see in contemporary cinema.

“Tere Ishk Mein” is likely to appeal to audiences in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, filled with heightened drama and emotional intensity. However, the film ultimately falters morally and thematically, leaving viewers unsettled by its romanticization of toxic relationships.
Rating: 3/5 – Reviewer: Hungama – Source: Bollywood Hungama
Overall, “Tere Ishk Mein” is a gripping love saga, marked by memorable dramatic moments and strong performances from Dhanush and Kriti Sanon. However, its lengthy runtime and a weak second half diminish its overall effectiveness, though it is expected to perform well at the box office.
Rating: 3/5 – Reviewer: Moneycontrol – Source: Moneycontrol
Some dialogues in the film feel forced and overly dramatic, detracting from the overall experience. Nevertheless, the emotionally charged interactions between Dhanush and Kriti Sanon create several impactful moments. A.R. Rahman’s music adds a soulful quality, but “Tere Ishk Mein” ultimately remains an uneven film that relies heavily on its performances, with weak writing and excessive length holding it back from achieving its full potential.
Rating: 2/5 – Reviewer: Lachmi – Source: Firstpost
Aanand L. Rai’s direction is engaging but lacks depth. The complexities of the lead characters are overshadowed by a narrative that fails to maintain audience interest, particularly in the second half, which devolves into a repetitive conflict between socioeconomic classes.
Rating: 2.5/5 – Reviewer: Bharti – Source: Lehren
The premise of violence being curable, as presented through the character of Shankar, offers an intriguing foundation. However, the execution falters, making the film lengthy and complicated. Viewers seeking something unconventional may find value in this film.
