We have witnessed numerous love stories on the big screen. Ishaqzaade is about two characters who are taught to hate each other from childhood by their families.but all hell breaks loose when they fall in love instead ! Habib Faisal chooses a good subject and delivers a superb film ! Ishaqzaade has a good entertaining first half.there are right doses of humour , romance and drama in this half ! the twist before the climax is sure to hit you like a jolt ! the film slows down in after the post interval portions but gather steam towards the climax. the climax is the mainstay of the movie.it is beautifully penned down and brilliantly executed.dialogues are fiery ! music is superb with each and every track being picturised beautifully ! background score is effective.actin is raw and gritty and is thoroughly enjoyable ! camera work is superb ! Habib Faisal's execution of the subject deserves brownie points ! Ishaqzaade belongs to the lead pair ! Arjun Kapoor makes a smashing debut with Ishaqzaade ! his dialogue delivery and his expressions are superb ! Parineeti Chopra is the life of Ishaqzaade ! she is amazingly superbb ! surely an award winning performance by the newbie ! she charms you every time she is onscreen ! she also looks quite pretty ! the chemistry of the lead pair is electrifying ! Gauhar Khan is first-rate ! Anil Rastogi is superb ! Ratan Rathore is brilliant ! Natasha Rastogi makes an impact ! the rest of the cast is first rate ! overall, ISHAQZAADE is a hatke love story with gripping screenplay , terrific chemistry of the lead pair and award winning performance of Parineeti Chopra as its main USP

“Ishaqzaade hai zitne fassano me milte hai kahan ab zahhano me†this tag line describes a lot about Ishaqzaade , in one word story line is very common and it was tried by various filmmakers in different era of cinema but this Yash raj banner latest venture has many things in its platter. When it’s promo was released in March, it created lots of buzz and movie was highly anticipated among youth and filmy pundits as after Band Baja Barat this is the first venture from Yash raj which have all new faces in lead roles, but initial reports and reviews were little disappointing as it got mediocre reviews from critics in spite of all the buzz. As I have mentioned that story line is very simple –love story of Hindu boy and Muslim girl who are children of sworn political enemies, but Ishaqzaade is winner in many areas inspite of its simple story. Firstly, kudos to Habib Faisal for tight screen play direction from the simple plot within perfect running time (2 hrs approx.),Habib again proved his mettle in different genre after National award winning Do Doni Chaar ,he has the guts to break stereotype and come with a product which is entirely different from his previous one. Secondly- its location and cinematography, hats off to the cameraman who capture small town Almore in UP(it’s a fictional town , actual shoot happens in Hardoi and other areas near to Lucknow) in its lens in all possible ways. Few sequences like climax run scene was shoot so adequately that you totally sulk into the location, whosoever is familiar with north india can understand that it’s not an easy job to shoot in such congested and narrow lanes. Third one is acting from lead cast and supportive cast, all the supportive cast has done their role perfectly you can name any one weather its Parma’s (Arjun) grandfather and his mother , Zoya’s(Parineeti) brothers all are in sync. You may think that Parma’s character is a kind of tailor made role for Arjun but i can assure you that he has done lot of hard work to get into the skin of this character as it is not easy to get body language of this kind of character, he is flawless in almost all part except few sequence and on the same time handled few sequence (like pre interval weeding scene) very efficiently, for a long journey in bollywood he has to prove himself in different genre of movies. One film old Parineeti Chopra perform her part exceptionally well, she is going to be one of the best unconventional newcomers in recent times. After bubbly Punjabi girl in Ladies Vs Ricky Behl she sinks in Zoya ‘s character very deeply ,you can’t imagine anyone else playing this role. She was so convincing in few sequence like post weeding love making scene, climax scene that you never feel disconnected from screen. No wonder if you see Arjun’s and Parineeti’s nomination in this year award functions. Somewhere I felt that Ishaqzaade has the potential to gain a cult status like Hassil and Omkara among youth because of its location, treatment and dialogbazzi , but in this point Ishaqzaade lacks as while watching you will feel that something is missing in this. Don’t forget that above movies are serious cinemas which have love story in their backdrop while Ishaqzaade is all n all love story. But on the same time this movie will be in youth’s heart for a long time like QSQT and Ek duje ke liye, I consider Ishaqzzade as desi Romio Juliet. Economically Yash raj has recovered major chunk of amount from satellite rights and remaining from weekend collections. At last, it’s a brave attempt from yash raj and habib and perfect platform for Arjun and Parineeti. Different section of cinema lover will have different opinion about this that’s why Ishaqzaade got mixed reviews, go for this without any much expectation you will definitely enjoy.

This movie is exactly what Bollywood cinema is all about. All the songs are pure indian songs with no weird remixes and rappers. The story was just amazing, Romeo and Juliet in a political world in India. I loved the movie, it is one of my personal favorites, and deserves nothing but praise for the story, direction, and the brilliant actors who brought the characters to life.

Wow,It Sprung a Pleasant Surprise when i came out of the multiplex after watching Ishaqzaade.Went with least expectations and came out fully satisfied. Lovely performances by Arjun and Parineeti.The supporting cast has done an excellent job for uplifting the movie. The music and superb and really gets to your ears. Though the script is nothing novel,the presentation and the screenplay are so good that your interest keeps on going on till the end. Definitely recommended.A Thumbs Up.
