Aanand L Rai’s Quirky Romance Universe

Tere Ishk Mein

A raw, emotionally charged love story, Tere Ishk Mein dives into obsession, longing, and the darker side of romance. Starring Dhanush and Kriti Sanon, the film portrays an intense exploration of love that isn’t pretty, perfect, or predictable, staying true to Rai’s knack for turning romance into an emotional reckoning.

Tu Yaa Main

An edge-of-the-seat survival thriller, Tu Yaa Main explores the world of two content creators on a date, and how their lives take a terrifying turn when they come face-to-face with a menacing crocodile. With Shanaya Kapoor and Adarsh Gourav in the lead, the film blends romance, adrenaline, and danger with new-age storytelling, making this #DateFright story an unusual treat for audiences this Valentine’s. The film is all set to release in cinemas on 13th February, 2026.

Tanu Weds Manu

A cult classic that redefined rom-coms, Tanu Weds Manu gave us messy love, loud arguments, and characters who felt very real. Kangana Ranaut and R. Madhavan’s crackling chemistry turned a small-town love story into a cultural moment, proving that imperfect people make the most perfect stories.

Raanjhanaa

Set in the vibrant setup of Banaras, Raanjhanaa is a haunting tale of unrequited love and emotional obsession. With Dhanush and Sonam Kapoor in career-defining roles, the film challenged the idea of romantic heroes and forced audiences to confront uncomfortable truths about love, entitlement, and consequence.

Atrangi Re

Bold, bizarre, and emotionally layered, Atrangi Re explored love through the lens of trauma and healing. Featuring Sara Ali Khan, Dhanush, and Akshay Kumar, the film oscillated between whimsy and heartbreak, once again showcasing Rai’s courage to tell stories that defy easy categorisation.

As Aanand L Rai’s films shift across stories, one thing remains constant: his refusal to play it safe. Unapologetically emotional, deeply human, and never afraid to break the rules, his films don’t just entertain – they stay with you.
