More about Tere Ishk Mein
The censorship clearance arrives as the film continues gaining momentum through advance bookings. Industry trackers note steady growth in pre-release ticketing, largely attributed to curiosity surrounding the reunion of Dhanush and Aanand L Rai, the duo previously known for
Raanjhanaa and
Atrangi Re. Promotional material, including the teaser and trailer, has generated online traction, contributing to the film’s visibility ahead of opening day.Music, too, has played a significant role in shaping audience expectations. With A.R. Rahman composing the soundtrack and Irshad Kamil penning the lyrics, several tracks have been trending on streaming platforms and social media, indicating strong recall value. While positive digital response does not always translate to box office success, it often contributes to healthier opening-day footfalls, especially in multi-language releases.Produced by Gulshan Kumar, T-Series and Colour Yellow,
