Saale Aashiq movie review in 60 seconds: Tahir Raj Bhasin and Mithila Palkar's honour-killing love story has a promising premise, but the tension goes missing. My rating: 3.5/10. Now streaming on JioHotstar.

Saale Aashiq (2025) is a Hindi romantic drama written and directed by Siddharth–Garima, the writers of Ramleela, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha and Raabta. Tahir Raj Bhasin plays Shatru and Mithila Palkar plays Gudia, two young lovers in a small Madhya Pradesh town who take on their families, caste pressure and the threat of honour killing. Chunky Panday, Tanvi Azmi, Darshan Jariwala and Neelima Azeem play supporting roles. The film skipped theatres and premiered on Sony MAX in February 2025 after, its makers said, streaming platforms found it too controversial. It has now landed on JioHotstar.
