Mumbai: The highly anticipated trailer of South superstar Dhanush and Bollywood actress Kriti Sanon‘s film “Tere Ishk Mein” dropped on November 13, 2025, instantly taking the internet by storm. The 3-minute 22-second trailer was unveiled at a grand event in Mumbai, ending the long wait of audiences who had been eagerly anticipating this glimpse into the passionate world created by acclaimed director Aanand L Rai.
Within hours of release, #TereIshqMein and #Dhanush began trending across social media platforms as fans flooded timelines with their reactions. The trailer showcases a deeply passionate love story where love serves as the heartbeat, but also brings obsession, pain, and devastation in its wake.
Powerful Performances Take Center Stage
Dhanush delivers yet another masterclass in raw, expressive acting as Shankar, a character consumed by obsessive love. His rebellious style, high-voltage drama, and poignant portrayal immediately capture the audience’s attention from the first frame. One of the trailer’s most memorable moments features Dhanush declaring, “Main pyaar mein pada to Dilli jala doonga” (If I fall in love, I will burn Delhi down), a dialogue that has already become a talking point among fans.
Kriti Sanon matches Dhanush’s intensity beat for beat as Mukti, portraying a character embodying love, helplessness, and profound emotional conflict. Her performance and striking look in the film have garnered considerable praise from viewers and critics alike. The chemistry between the two leads perfectly captures the raw emotions, struggles, and realities of heartbreak, making their on-screen pairing one of the most compelling aspects of the trailer.
Music by AR Rahman Elevates the Drama
The background score, composed by the legendary AR Rahman, further heightens the story’s tension and intensity, making the film’s world feel viscerally real. Earlier released tracks, including the title song sung by Arijit Singh, had already won audience hearts and set high expectations for the complete soundtrack.
Director Aanand L Rai’s Vision
Directed by Aanand L Rai and written by Himanshu Sharma and Neeraj Yadav, “Tere Ishk Mein” marks Dhanush’s first collaboration with Rai since the critically acclaimed “Raanjhanaa” in 2013. Rai is renowned for his ability to portray small-town love stories with compelling authenticity and emotional depth, having created magic on screen multiple times before. The film is produced by Aanand L Rai, Himanshu Sharma, Bhushan Kumar, and Krishan Kumar under the banners of Colour Yellow Productions and T-Series Films.
This release holds significant importance for Rai’s career trajectory, as his recent films have not performed as expected at the box office. The supporting cast includes Sushil Dahiya as an Inspector and Maahir Mohiuddin as Rana.
Not Your Typical Romance
The trailer makes abundantly clear that “Tere Ishk Mein” is not a conventional love story but rather a heart-wrenching, intense romantic drama. The film’s narrative appears to be rooted entirely in emotions, conflict, and a relationship that transcends ordinary romance, diving into the depths of passionate, all-consuming love.
Beautiful romantic sequences alternate with action, chases, and raw emotional moments throughout the trailer. The screenplay promises to deliver gripping sequences that keep audiences on the edge of their seats, exploring the darker, more obsessive aspects of love rarely portrayed with such intensity in mainstream cinema.
Release Date and Box Office Expectations
Originally scheduled for November 21, 2025, the film’s release was pushed back by one week to November 28, 2025, giving it a solo window to dominate the box office. “Tere Ishk Mein” arrives as the third major love story of 2025, following the successful releases of “Saiyara” and “Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat”.
Fans have expressed massive expectations, with many commenting on social media that this could prove to be Dhanush’s best love story yet. Several users predicted that the film would break box office records, citing the powerful trailer, stellar cast, and Rai’s directorial prowess as key factors. The teaser and songs released earlier had already generated positive buzz, making the trailer’s arrival highly anticipated.
The film will be released in Hindi and simultaneously in other languages, expanding its reach across India’s diverse audience base. With AR Rahman’s music, Aanand L Rai’s direction, and the explosive chemistry between Dhanush and Kriti Sanon, “Tere Ishk Mein” has positioned itself as one of the most anticipated releases of November 2025.
