First of all... its not a vulgar movie as its shown in trailers. its actually a good movie. Script is very thought out. Direction is very tight and there is very rare margine of finding errors. Casting is just perfect. Vidya is seductive all the time in the movie. You just want to see her forever. Arshad has given a serious roll but he is damn funny. Naseer is par excellense. with this kind of cheap rolls he has has done full justice. movie is defently better than kaminey. kaminey was dark movie. Even though the movie was shot in mumbai there are very less scenes of day light. Ishqiya is completely light and bright movie. There is no sorrow or dark side of life being shown in this movie. Second the story is easier to understand than kaminey... while in kaminey till interval the story is just getting built... Ishiqiya is clear in concept right from the first 15 minutes. Songs of the kaminey (apart from dhan te nen) was forcefully put in... While in ishqiya you love when song comes your way. and you actully wait for a song to come and refresh you. Music of the movie is far better than any other film in 2009. all songs are melodius and easy to humm... 2 classical songs by Rekha bharadwaj are not been shown much in promos but they are very class material. People were desparetly looking for such songs after delhi 6. End is little fast. End might have been given little more time with. Overall its a really great experience to watch this movie. Ya and final word... its not an action movie like omkara or kaminey... its a damn comedy stuff.

This site gives me an understanding that Bollywood is never going 2 progress because the audiences themselves are the biggest fools...they r still blabbering over Veer in their review of another film...my rating for Ishqiya would be 4...but I'm putting it 5 to balance the .5s put by many of these guys... & dunno why these people judge films on the basis of whether they can be seen with the family or not...it has an A rating...so if u took ur conservative parents or Kids with u its ur fault...

The Ishqiya takes you to a different level of cinema and this has been done by Bharadwaj camp or Ramu camp....its not compulsory that ever one will like this movie but the movie is for best who really look in to parallel kind of movies..If kaminey was brilliant then Ishqiya is fabulous. The trio Naseer-Vidya and Arshad brilliant Naseer is one of the finest actor in Indian cinema so expectation was high from him n he did very well the character of Khalujaan.... Arshad as a Babban is too good and Vidya as a Krishna is her till best role and she is getting mature in her character a movie by movie.

I really enjoyed Ishqiya. It is rustic, fun n good value for money. This year has been laced with movies ranging from bad to worse. Hope Ishqiya is a change for the better. Vishal Bhardwaj productions again come up trumps.

Over the decades, The galaxy of Indian Cinema has been decorated with many shining moons like Raj Kapoor, Dilip Kumar, Amitabh Bachhan, The 3 top Khans, Hrithik Roshan etc. But this Galaxy wouldn’t have been this attractive if along with these shinning moons, a certain glitter of twinkling stars was not there. Stars like Sanjev Kumar, Vinod Mehra, Shashi Kapoor, Amol Palker, Naseer-ud-Din Shah, Arshad Warsi etc. These are the stars which fill up the dark spots of the galaxy with their valiant abilities and unorthodox approach. These stars might not have gathered a portfolio as successful as the moons, but there portfolios are in a way the main reason of a continuous hope of betterment in the cinema. And if the posters of one film reflect faces of two such stars together…you can feel that there is something pleasant in store for you. not only that…you’ve also got one of the most talented actresses of these times. That too in a role which makes her look sinfully gorgeous, thrillingly mysterious and highly determined to prove that although we are aware that Vidhya Balan is talented, yet we don’t know the range and depth of this talent. And to top it all, you have a film maker’s name associated with it, who has been quenching our thirst quality cinema over the years. Vishal Bhardwaj hasn’t direct the movie but the association of his name with a project automatically adds weight to it. So, Ishqiya had more then one reason to make us wait for its arrival…and finally when it has arrived…Man !! I am so so glad that it has arrived. People might say that the tone of the movie resembles with that of Omkara, but Ishqiya altogether brings in all together a new recipe of enjoyment; a rare combination of rustic splendor and cordial freshness. The amalgamation of Crude characters and some Delicate feelings is actually where the debutant director Abhishek Chaubey deserves the maximum marks. He defies the fact that its his first venture. so we can say that after giving his fans alot of quality cinema, Vishal Bhardwaaj has given another gift in the form of Abhishek Chaubey. Performances are the real triumph card of the film. Vidhya Balan is in rage…I’m totally stunned by the accuracy and perfection with which she has played the part. She is a perfect mixture of Grace and Sensuality. This is one female artist who makes you think that each of her performance is the best of her career. The immense talent possessed by Arshad Warsi is finally tapped in this film, and he justifies his selection more than enough with his solid act. Brilliant. Naseer-ud-Din Shah once again leaves me at a loss of words. What and how can I ever say about him. So unconventional, yet so relate-able. He is absolutely mesmerizing. Salman Shahid (playing the role of Mushtaq Bhayee) might not be a familiar name for Indian viewers (just one appearance in the past in Kabul Express). But people in Pakistan know how talented this man is. I’ve grown up seeing him doing all ranges of roles with perfection. Glad that he got this role. The climax could’ve been better, but I dont mind this one either. The language is a bit strong only at few places. But people should not complain about this. That is why the film got an “A†certificate. Music is beautiful…Vishal Bhardwaj gives us the first musical gem of 2010. Overall, I liked Omkara and Kaminey more than Ishqiya. But even then, I loved it. Rusty yet Charming; Violent yet Tender; Unique yet enjoyable…that is IShqiya for you. Go for it quality lovers.
