Kriti Sanon on her bond with Dhanush
One of the highlights of the film has been the chemistry between Dhanush and Kriti Sanon. Speaking to IANS, Kriti opened up about her admiration for Dhanush’s craft. She said, “I think Dhanush is an incredible actor, I have always been an admirer of his talent and his craft. I feel he has a very strong hold on his craft. He’s very nuanced; he also directed a lot of films, and comes from a lot of experience and understanding of scenes and how it will translate on the screen.”Sharing more about their working dynamic, she added, “He really brings out a lot of layers in his character and I was very excited to work with him. I knew I’m going to have an actor who I can really feed off from… that is exactly what happened. And we had not met before, and even Shankar and Mukti in the film at one point had not met before, so that worked out!”
‘Tere Ishk Mein’ review
The Times of India gave the film 2.5 out of 5 stars. The review states, “At a little under three hours, the movie feels overlong, and the pacing remains uneven across many portions. The writing is also riddled with inconsistencies and contradictions. For a psychologist with a PhD, Mukti is oddly manipulative and unable to handle Shankar’s intense emotions, despite repeatedly insisting she knows exactly how to deal with him. A disillusioned and aggressive lover casually walking into an IAS and Joint Secretary’s home with petrol bombs and what relatives assume is acid simply doesn’t add up. There is also a random sequence featuring a pandit (Zeeshan Ayub Mohammad) punning on Lord Shiva and “mukti”, which appears completely out of place and without context. A love triangle and Mukti’s alcohol addiction in the second half further add to the convoluted plot.”
