तेरे इश्क़ में

Tere Ishk Mein (2025) marks the third collaboration between director Aanand L. Rai and actor Dhanush — a creative partnership that produced Raanjhanaa (2013) and Atrangi Re (2021), both scored by A. R. Rahman with lyrics by Irshad Kamil. This extraordinary continuity of director, actor, composer and lyricist makes Tere Ishk Mein the culmination of a creative unit that has redefined the emotional register of Hindi romantic cinema over twelve years. Released November 28, 2025 on T-Series, the film pairs Dhanush opposite Kriti Sanon in a love story set in a contemporary Indian milieu. Rahman's nine-track score — his most intimate Hindi film work since Atrangi Re — features contributions from Arijit Singh, Shilpa Rao, Nitesh Aher, Jonita Gandhi, Darshan Raval, Sukhwinder Singh, and Shankar Mahadevan, with a remarkable self-sung track by Rahman himself ('Deewaana Deewaana').

Tere Ishk Mein's AR Rahman soundtrack is the year's most anticipated and critically regarded Hindi film score. The nine tracks include the title duet (Arijit Singh), the haunting 'Tere Zikr Mein' (Shilpa Rao), Rahman's self-sung 'Deewaana Deewaana', and 'Chinnaware' (Shankar Mahadevan, with Dhanush credited as lyricist). The title track charted in Rolling Stone India's top 2025 songs. The album marks the fourth Rahman–Irshad Kamil collaboration, and the third time Irshad Kamil has written for an Aanand L. Rai film.

Tere Ishk Mein represents one of the most significant creative reunions in contemporary Hindi cinema — the third film uniting director Aanand L. Rai, actor Dhanush, composer A. R. Rahman, and lyricist Irshad Kamil, a quartet whose previous collaborations (Raanjhanaa, 2013; Atrangi Re, 2021) produced landmark Hindi musical scores. Rahman's nine-track album — his most intimate Hindi film work since Atrangi Re — included 'Deewaana Deewaana,' a rare self-performed track by the composer himself. The presence of Arijit Singh, Shilpa Rao, Shankar Mahadevan, and Darshan Raval gave the album mainstream commercial reach without sacrificing its distinctive emotional depth.

Tere Ishk Mein's title track entered Rolling Stone India's list of top 2025 Hindi songs, and the album was broadly acclaimed as one of the year's finest Hindi film scores. Released in November 2025, its full box-office picture was still settling at year's end, but the soundtrack established itself as a streaming benchmark. 'Deewaana Deewaana' and 'Tere Zikr Mein' earned particular critical attention. The album's position in the Raanjhanaa–Atrangi Re lineage guarantees its place in any retrospective account of A. R. Rahman's Hindi film work.
