27 Jan
Summary
- Film features a 2,200-page thesis, sparking academic ridicule.
- PhD students find the depicted research process unrealistic.
- A scene with Kriti Sanon's character discussing her thesis caused backlash.
The recently released film "Tere Ishk Mein," featuring Kriti Sanon and Dhanush, has become a subject of ridicule among PhD students. The controversy centers on a scene where Kriti Sanon's character, a psychology research scholar, discusses submitting a 2,200-page thesis.
This depiction has been met with strong criticism from actual PhD students who find it unbelievably unrealistic. They shared their own experiences, highlighting the immense difficulty and time commitment involved in writing theses, often spanning hundreds of pages over several years. The students feel the film's premise stretches cinematic liberty to an absurd degree.
The film, directed by Aanand L. Rai, was released on January 23 and received mixed reviews. The specific scene involving the lengthy thesis has initiated a widespread meme-fest on social media platforms like X, with academics leading the charge against its perceived lack of realism.
