The much-awaited trailer of Tere Ishk Mein, filmmaker Aanand L Rai’s next romantic drama, has finally been released, marking the reunion of Rai and actor Dhanush after a gap of 12 years since their acclaimed 2013 film Raanjhanaa. The trailer has taken social media by storm, drawing strong reactions from fans who have been eagerly awaiting the pair’s next collaboration.
Trailer highlights: A turbulent love story
Tere Ishk Mein stars Dhanush alongside Kriti Sanon in a dramatic narrative driven by intense romance, heartbreak and revenge. The trailer introduces Dhanush’s character as a fiery and violent young man whose world transforms when he encounters Mukti, played by Kriti. Their relationship begins innocently as their romance blossoms through college corridors, classroom glances, and carefree bike rides.
However, the tone shifts dramatically when Mukti chooses to move on and decides to marry another man. The heartbreak leaves Dhanush’s character shattered, gradually turning him vengeful. In a heated moment in the trailer, he declares that he will burn “entire Delhi” to ashes in the name of his broken heart — a line that has already become a point of discussion online.
The trailer further depicts his descent into chaos as love turns into obsession and rage. In glimpses, he is shown becoming a pilot amid the turbulence of his life, while Mukti appears struggling with emotional turmoil, resorting to alcohol as her world spirals. The film’s aesthetic strongly echoes the passionate, emotional style of the ‘90s “diljala aashiq” era — something that viewers have immediately picked up on.
Performances and cinematic appeal
Fans have praised the intense chemistry between Dhanush and Kriti Sanon, noting that this is their first film together. Dhanush’s emotionally charged performance and Kriti’s expressive portrayal of Mukti have been highlighted as key strengths of the trailer. Many viewers remarked that the film seems to carry Aanand L Rai’s signature blend of raw emotions and dramatic conflicts.
The visuals, background score, and stylised portrayal of Delhi give the film an impactful cinematic presence. The storyline appears to traverse themes of love, rejection, obsession and redemption — elements that have often resonated in Rai’s previous romantic dramas.
Fan reactions: Admiration and nostalgia
The YouTube comments section of the trailer is already overflowing with enthusiastic responses. One viewer commented, “Kriti’s acting skills are phenomenal… and Dhanush as always keeping us glued to the screens.” Another fan wrote, “Bhai saiyaara ka baap loading ho raha hai 28th November ko,” indicating expectations of a powerful soundtrack and emotional depth similar to Raanjhanaa.
Some fans also compared Dhanush’s character arc to his earlier roles. “Thanks to Anand L Rai, Hero was not shown as a typical unemployed boy from UP… Career-oriented and not typically Devdas-type boys are no more,” wrote a user, appreciating the refreshing portrayal. Another comment read, “Tell the kids who were fawning over Saiyaara or Deewaniyat that this is what a movie is,” reflecting the excitement among long-time Dhanush admirers.
Release date and additional updates
Tere Ishk Mein is scheduled to release in theatres on 28 November. The film marks Dhanush and Kriti’s first on-screen collaboration and brings Dhanush back into a high-intensity romantic role after a long gap.
Meanwhile, Dhanush is also busy with his upcoming film, popularly referred to as D54. The shoot for D54 began in July this year under the direction of Vignesh Raja, known for the investigative thriller Por Thozhil. The makers earlier released photos from the pooja ceremony of the film, attended by acclaimed filmmaker Vetrimaaran, increasing curiosity about the project.
Conclusion

With the reunion of Aanand L Rai and Dhanush — a pairing known for creating impactful cinema — expectations are running high as the film gears up for its November release.
