Tere Ishk Mein Backlash: Misogyny? Stalking? Don’t Care

Tere Ishk Mein, directed by Anand L Rai and starring Dhanush and Kriti Sanon, is running well in theatres. The film is receiving appreciation for the performances, but some viewers are accusing it of promoting misogyny and showing stalking as romance.

The film explores love and revenge, and the bond between the lead characters becomes tense. Responding to the backlash, Anand L Rai said he expected such reactions. He remains firm about the story he wanted to tell.

He explained that he made a dark and brutal romance which will not appeal to every viewer. He suggested that those who prefer softer stories can watch his earlier films like Tanu Weds Manu. He said he feels fortunate to make different kinds of cinema.
