Ishqiya was a fun-filled, crime-gangster comedy that will keep you engrossed through out. Abhsiekh chaubey was the associate director for 'OMKARA' and this time he has taken director seat and as a first-time director, he does a tremendoues job keeping the viewer at the edge of their seat. Perfomances were astounding .. especially by Arshad Warsi. Legendary actor Nasaruddin Shah enacts his part with utmost priority along with Vidya Balan. Cinematography was eye-catching showing the backdrop of UP, sound effects were amzing.Music was fantastic. Overall, I compltely loved the movie.Can watch it second time - 3.5 /5

From the film making house of Vishal Bhardwaj comes a fresh and most promising talent of Abhishek Chaubey who combines the best from his senior with his own slick raw style to give us 'Ishqiya'. The tremendously talented Naseeruddin Shah plays Khalujaan, joining forces with the comic and astute Babban (Arshad Warsi) to play the notorious duo of Mama-Bhanja who are on the run from Mushtaq (Salman Shahid). Their desperate search for associate goons brings them to Verma's widow, Krishna (Vidya Balan) with whom they are entrapped in a game of lust, lure, deceit, treachery and suspense. 'Ishqiya' is thoroughly enjoyable with the right amount of humour, suspence, sex appeal and some wonderful music. Khalujaan and Babban have embarked on a dangerous journey into Gorakhpur (U.P.) where the entertainment and thrill comes from the people. While the deadline to repay Mushtaq's debt looms over them, the attraction of Krishna and the yearning for freedom ensures their digression. A risky kidnapping of a millionaire was their desperate attempt of getting the quick money that would buy their freedom but little did they know what fate awaits them. The plot is not outlandish at all. In fact, the writing is the strength of this film. Vishal Bhardwaj's story and screenplay ensure total capacity utilization of such immense talents in the film. Vidya Balan is outstanding and her recent films prove her capabilities without any requirement for contemporary glamour. She looks beautiful in every scene and her character's traits are easily depicted through her expression. Arshad Warsi has finally bagged a role where he can explore his versatility and strength. He has wasted the years after the Munnabhai series doing some unworthy films. Naseeruddin Shah's aura of excellence can go unnoticed because you only see Khalujaan in the film. It only hits you at a later point that it was all an act. Vishal Bhardwaj's music and Gulzar's lyrics work magically yet again. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan's superb rendition of Dil toh bachcha has the perfect blend of soothing music and rich lyrics that make it the song that will linger in your head for a long time. Ibn-e-batuta is also a very catchy song with Sukhwinder Singh and Mika adding their distinct punch to it. Abhishek has perfectly placed the songs in situations where the lyrics take the story forward. His direction keeps the pace at a very comfortable level with enough humour packed in to make it a joy ride. The new gen of directors will now adorn their hats with one more feather for 'Ishqiya', a wholesome entertainer. 8.33 on a scale of 1-10.

a very well made film.it has a vey bindaas attitude.based in UP it gives a good representation about the life and styles of the babus of north india.the performances of the 3 lead actors are fabulous.vidhya balan is particularly exceptional.she has shattered all stereotypes and plays a seductress planning a kidnap with the two conmen KHALUJAN AND BABBAN.the music deserves a lot of praise, the compositions are simple but makes you hum them as you leave the theatre.the dialogues are a stand out.the audience gets to listen to new bad words and the director shifts from comedy to suspense in a single sentence. the second half tends to lose its way a bit and the climax might be a bit weird but overall a very refreshing film which should be encouraged amid the everboring clutter of romcom masala movies in bollywood.recommended
