ISHAQZAADE- not a “happy ending type bolly movie”!

         Mai pareshaan- the song was an all time hit even before the movie hit the screens! And pareshaan you will be if you, like me, are a true bollywood buff, a person of “and they lived happily ever after” clan!
           The story basically is a slap on the face of those Indians who are still against inter-caste marriages and for whom their RULES and IZZAT are much more important than human emotions and happiness of their children. It is also a reminder to the women that no matter they are educated and empowered today but still there are spheres where they are rendered helpless and alone.
        The story starts from the political rivalry between two different religious clans in a small town in U.P. and explores gun shots within which,is a beautifully woven rustic love story with the main actress firing at the drop of a hat. Generally the suspense and shock in a movie comes at the end but here it’s a little different. The turning point is the interval itself. The story, if I spill out here, will be disheartening!
                          All I would say is PARINEETI CHOPRA is the star of the movie. Arjun Kapoor is good too but parineeti steals the show. The extremely appropriate locations, dialogues and background music adds to the glamour of the film. At some points the dialogues are pretty funny too. Gauhar Khan is good at her small act. “Pareshaan” is the song you hum while leaving the theatre and other songs are just average.
            Go enjoy the action packed political drama!
                     A must watch but a one time watch!

And the best of all is “hum haramzaade nai isaqzaade hain!!”

P.S. I personally couldn’t digest the “not a happy end”!

  5. I wish there would stop these movie it is like advertising that it is okay to have these barriers, economically independent kids need parental approval to get married, My in-laws father in-law a Kannadiga and mother-in-law maharashtrian have been married for 50 odd years, my husband and I for 20 years, we seem to do well.
    Anyway to each his own.

    1. yes mam i fully agree with you. every movie has a deep impact on its audience. and also i agree that your caste creed or religion doesn't decide whether you will sustain a happy marriage or not. just being of the same religion doesnt act as a guarantee to a happy married life! :)
      thankyou for caring to read and give your feedback, it counts a lot and is very encouraging! :)

  7. This is first time ever in history that Yash Raj
    Banners Film has ended on a dark and violent note.
    Yash Raj Banners latest release Ishaqzaade which
    opens today has a shocking ending.It looks like
    Yash Raj Films is quite inspired with Mahes Bhatt
    who is known for his dark endings

  8. I liked the movie, but not the fact that it had an sad ending.
    But I tell you one thing, this is probably the most beautiful movie that has ever been made on inter-religion/caste marriages. Whole movie, I was enjoying the plot, the dialogues, the twists, everything!
    At the end, I realized, This movie has so beautiful explained the actual hardships and the situations that such people go through. Light hearted movie, and such a great message. I don't remember any such film in the recent times.

  9. several departures from the routine in this film, but still not something i would recommend people to go and watch. especially not at a time when shanghai and prometheus are playing in nearby screens, but then that is just me. nice review, and very appropriate. i kind of really disliked the film, he he he.
