Tere Ishk Mein, initially thought to be a typical alpha male centred movie, turned out to be a portrayal of two equally toxic individuals. Kriti Sanon defends her character's behaviour and justifies her actions driven by guilt. The film sparked debates on morality and earned Rs 157.25 crore worldwide. Anand L Rai and Dhanush's third collaboration, it explores the destructive nature of toxic love.
