ISHQIYA : REFRESHING CHANGE

Does Ishqiya falter only because it doesn't provide the audience with another boy meets girl shitty romantic tale?

After having watched a series of TYPICAL bollywood movies where the boy likes a girl, girl likes boy but there is always this barrier in between them which they try overcoming during the course of movie. Once that is done, the boy kisses girl and they sing happy songs ever after...

So just because variety is the spice of life and mainly I was bored of the usual drama so I decided to go and watch ISHQIYA.


Well definitely the movie has some charm which keeps you alive throughout the movie. The main reason for some disliking the movie can be its language. I mean if you suck at hindi then this movie is definitely a NO! My daily conversation includes 90% hindi (yeah I live in Mumbai ;P ) yet I failed to get some of the humor in the film. But the ones which I did manage to grab were hilarious! Don't blame the movie for its abusive language or vulgarity, the movie was set in a village if you didn't notice. On a whole awesome acting by every actor, great plot and good music. My favorite being Ibn-e-batuta. I won't bore you by discussing the story and the plot, go and check it out by yourselves! It is a refreshing change trust me :) RATING 3/5

  3. My rating : 6/5 :D
    I was the one who SUPPORTED this movie .. and MOST of your friends disliked it :P :P
    Those 'Chutiyam Suplhate's" who couldn't get through the essence of this movie, should be handed over a no-return-passport to Nigeria or Bulgaria ;)

    And as the wise man rightly said, "Tera ishq ISHQ, mera ishq SEX" :D
