Tere Ishq Mein – While director Aanand L Rai’s Raanjhanaa (2013) received box office success and praise upon initial release, only to face criticism years later for glorifying stalking and harassment in the name of love, the heat that its spiritual sequel Tere Ishq Mein is receiving in real time underlines that a change in mindset among the masses may indeed be possible. Marking the reunion of Aanand L. Rai, Raanjhanaa writer Himanshu Sharma and the 2013 film’s lead actor Dhanush, Tere Ishq Mein received widespread negative reviews for its regressive narrative, which many felt was romanticized toxic masculinity.

Kriti Sanon is in the lead role in the film. Meanwhile, actor Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub recently admitted that Raanjhanaa, in which he played a pivotal role, was actually a problematic film. Speaking to The Sheeros TV, he said, “I didn’t defend it (the film) then and neither will I now.

I saw a lot of people coming up with arguments to defend what was shown in it. But I won’t do that.

It (what was shown in Raanjhanaa) was problematic, and the film promoted it. Aggression in unrequited love should not be celebrated.

It is wrong and anyone who defends it is also wrong. ” Zeeshan has a cameo in Tere Ishq.
