Tere Ishk Mein teaser: Dhanush's rage meets Kriti Sanon's self-destruction in a volatile, high-stakes romance

Dhanush-Kriti Sanon's Tere Ishk Mein teaser reveals an intense, destructive love saga, reuniting the Raanjhanaa trio with director Aanand L. Rai & composer A. R. Rahman. Releases November 28, 2025.

Dhanush and Kriti Sanon in a still from Tere Ishk Mein

Officially reuniting with Dhanush, Aanand L. Rai's Tere Ishk Mein highly anticipated teaser has been unveiled. An intriguing and surprising match that has already created a lot of buzz, the teaser officially introduces Kriti Sanon as the female lead and was released today. The film, which has been described as a "beautiful and brutal" love story, will be released in theatres in Hindi and Tamil on November 28, 2025.

Return to the Raanjhanaa universe

The teaser condenses the explosive lives of the film's protagonists, Shankar (Dhanush) and Mukti (Kriti Sanon). The new story seems to be part of the same cinematic universe as Rai's 2013 cult smash Raanjhanaa and shares several thematic sensibilities with that film, namely an exploration of the darker, more aggressive side of deep, unrequited love.

Volatile romance

Scenes of intense tension and genuine emotion form the backbone of the teaser. The film opens with a powerful scene in which Dhanush, battered and wounded, attends his beloved Mukti's vivacious Haldi ceremony. In a violent encounter, he demands that Mukti wash away her "sins" before her wedding by pouring the water from a bottle onto her. He claims to have brought Ganga jal (water) after dispersing his father's ashes.

Flashbacks show the passionate and unstable relationship that Shankar and Mukti had, which is contrasted with this emotional opening. In the first scene, we see Dhanush's Shankar enraged, like Kundan in Raanjhanaa and Sanon's Mukti, equally destructive, in the same vein. In a striking image, she is shown in the middle of a chaotic scene, symbolising the destructive power of desire, as she pours petrol over herself and lights a cigarette. A twisted and emotionally charged prayer that epitomises the high-stakes drama of the film is made by Shankar at the end of the teaser. He hopes that Mukti will have a son, allowing her to understand the pain of a broken heart.

AR Rahman's soulful score

AR Rahman, who has scored films with Rai and Dhanush before (Raanjhanaa and Atrangi Re respectively), returns to elevate the visual drama with his soul-stirring music. The melancholy score from the film, composed by Irshad Kamil and featuring Arijit Singh on vocals, has received rave reviews for its profound emotional core and is already a smashing success.

Aanand L. Rai articulated the movie's guiding principle, stating that "Ishk is only about surrender—letting it heal you, hurt you, and change you." Himanshu Sharma's and Neeraj Yadav's narrations visually honour the filmmaker's profound attachment to the city of Benaras (Varanasi), a defining feature of his dramatic love stories.

Promising an intense love story

As far as the audience is concerned, Tere Ishk Mein will continue the director's tradition of intense, fixated, and sad love. The teaser powerfully sets the atmosphere for an immersive cinematic experience by creating the compelling tension between the National Award-winning stars.
