Tere Ishk Mein audience review: Dhanush-Kriti Sanon's ‘electric chemistry’ impresses netizens

Audience buzz and first impressions

Dhanush and Kriti Sanon’s romantic drama “Tere Ishk Mein” released in theatres on 28 November and quickly set social media abuzz with viewer reactions. Many early viewers describe it as an emotionally charged love story that combines intense romance, heartbreak and moments of healing.

Performances and on-screen chemistry

Audiences repeatedly highlight Dhanush’s performance as one of the film’s biggest strengths, praising the raw intensity, emotional range and “full heroic mode” presence he brings to his character. Kriti Sanon is credited with delivering one of her most confident and nuanced turns, matching Dhanush’s energy and helping create what many call “electric chemistry” on screen.

Story, tone and music

Viewers describe “Tere Ishk Mein” as a powerful, sometimes exhausting exploration of obsessive and painful love, with a narrative that blends passion, longing and emotional turbulence. AR Rahman’s music and background score are widely praised for deepening the impact of key scenes and elevating the film’s romantic and dramatic high points.

Mixed reactions and criticisms

Despite the praise, reactions are mixed, with some netizens feeling the story romanticises unhealthy relationships and becomes overly intense or tiring in the later portions. Several comments also point to a weaker second half and familiar Bollywood melodrama beats, suggesting the film starts stronger than it finishes.

Overall audience verdict

On social platforms, many fans have labelled the movie a “must-watch love saga” and even “the emotional storm of the year,” especially for those who enjoy intense, tragic romance. Others see it more as a solid one-time watch: worth it for the lead performances, chemistry and music, even if the story’s depth and originality do not fully satisfy everyone.

“VISFOTAK EMOTIONAL STORM OF THE YEAR!!!”

“First half… Blockbuster written all over. If the same continues for the second half then sky is the limit.”
