Makers of Tere Ishk Mein have just dropped the official teaser of the highly anticipated romantic drama featuring Dhanush and Kriti Sanon — and it is already creating humongous waves. Alive with the musical wizardry of A.R. Rahman, the teaser gives a glimpse of an amorous love story filled with heartbreak, anger, and emotional rollercoaster.
Set against the soul-stirring backdrop of Benaras, the teaser introduces us to Shankar (Dhanush) and Mukti (Kriti), two lovers separated by fate. One of the most shocking moments shows Shankar arriving at Mukti’s wedding straight from his father’s funeral. In a touching, emotional scene, he sprinkles Ganga jal on Mukti at her Mehendi ceremony, blaming her for having committed sins and cursing her to give birth to a son — so she knows even the lovers who die are somebody’s child.
The visuals are breathtaking, drenched in poetic imagery and unrepentant emotion. Aanand L. Rai weaves a romance as distant from a fairytale as can be imagined — it’s not lovely, it hurts, and it’s so human. As the teaser progresses, we catch a glimpse of Kriti trying to drown her sorrows in drink, and Dhanush fighting off unidentified assailants, alluding to a narrative of vendetta and emotional destruction.
This is the third Hindi film project of A.R. Rahman, Aanand L. Rai, and Dhanush together. Irshad Kamil wrote the background score, sung by Arijit Singh, providing a haunting tune that captures the mood and emotional depth of the movie exactly.
Directed by T-Series, Colour Yellow Productions, Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Aanand L. Rai, and Himanshu Sharma, Tere Ishk Mein will hit the theaters globally on November 28, in Hindi and Tamil. Already teasered, it’s being touted as one of the most powerful peeks into a love saga that Bollywood has witnessed in years.
