Mumbai, December 26, 2025 – Kartik Aaryan is expressing his gratitude as fans shower love on his latest film, "Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri," which hit theaters on Christmas Day. The romantic drama, co-starring Ananya Panday, has generated considerable buzz, and Aaryan is clearly appreciative of the audience response.
"Hearts are full," the actor shared in a recent social media post. "Seeing your love for Ray and Rumi is overwhelming. Thank you for making our Christmas so special!".
"Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri," directed by Sameer Vidwans, tells the story of Ray Mehra (Kartik Aaryan), a wedding planner from Los Angeles, and Rumi (Ananya Panday), a romance novel writer from Agra. Their paths cross during a holiday in Croatia, sparking a connection that blends modern hook-up culture with traditional Bollywood romance. The film explores their relationship as they navigate family expectations and personal desires. Veteran actors Neena Gupta and Jackie Shroff play key supporting roles.
The title track of the film, composed by Vishal-Sheykhar and sung by Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Ravjiani, has already become popular, with many praising Kartik Aaryan's dance moves and his chemistry with Ananya Panday. Fans have lauded the song as a potential "chartbuster of the year," appreciating the blend of charm, energy, and nostalgia.
However, the film itself has received mixed reviews from critics and audiences. Some have praised the lead pair's chemistry and the scenic European locations, while others have found the plot outdated. Some critics found the first half dull, with abrupt song placements that disrupt the narrative flow. Others have criticized the film for being overly dramatic and borrowing too heavily from older Bollywood romances. Some viewers have pointed out that the film doesn't fully rise above its predictability.
A recreated version of the 90s hit "Saat Samundar Paar" is also featured in the movie. The new track is sung by Karan Nawani and features the dance group Quick Style. However, the remake has been met with largely negative reactions, with many criticizing the new version for lacking the soul and energy of the original.
Despite the mixed reviews, some viewers have described "Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri" as a wholesome family entertainer with a blend of love story and emotional family drama. Social media posts have highlighted the natural chemistry between Kartik and Ananya, with one fan noting, "Kartik & Ananya's chemistry felt so natural, almost felt like Ray & Rumi were extensions of them! Their banter was SO FUN to watch".
Kartik Aaryan's upcoming projects include "Naagzilla: Naag Lok Ka Pehla Kaand" and "Captain India". He will also be seen in "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3".
