Kriti's "Next kahaani jaldi sunao" is so cute! She's truly the bubbly soul of the industry. Loved her in Tere Ishk Mein—she and Dhanush had great chemistry. Hope Rai sir gives us another blockbuster soon! ❤️

Not gonna lie, Tere Ishk Mein was a bit overhyped for me. The story felt stretched in the second half. But Rai's earlier work like Tumbbad production was top-notch. Happy birthday to a talented filmmaker who's still evolving.

Dhanush calling him "mere bhai" is so heartwarming! Southern and North Indian actors bonding like family—this is what we love to see. Also, Raanjhanaa remains one of my all-time favourite romantic films. Happy birthday, sir! 🌟

Bro, Aanand L Rai is the reason we got gems like Tumbbad and Raanjhanaa. Wish he would focus more on unique stories like those instead of commercial masala. Still, mad respect for his journey. Happy bday! 🎂

Kriti's banter with Rai sir is adorable! She's like the industry's favourite daughter. Tere Ishk Mein had its flaws but the music and Dhanush's performance were fire. Hope his next project is a comeback hit! 🔥
