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”!
will look forward to this movie for sure
ReplyDeletejust 'coz it don't have a conventional ending
;-)
will add more after seeing the movie
sure. thankyou.
ReplyDeleteDark endings are fun.Sick.Twisted.And they make you talk and think more than the usual happy endings do.:-)
ReplyDeleteya i agree with that type of thinking too but somehow i am more of a happy ending movie lover!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteAnyway to each his own.
By the way I am glad you did not like the not happy ending that means, you choose to be a success, hope you apply this in all walks of your life.
ReplyDeleteyes 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! :)
Deletethankyou for caring to read and give your feedback, it counts a lot and is very encouraging! :)
This is first time ever in history that Yash Raj
ReplyDeleteBanners 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
ya right mr.anonymous! :)
DeleteI liked the movie, but not the fact that it had an sad ending.
ReplyDeleteBut 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.
i agree with you sir! and surely even i dint like the sad ending but maybe the sad end helps in keeping the movie with you for a long time as you keep wondering what good could have happened instead? what do you say?
DeleteAbsolutely!
DeleteAnd don't call me sir, I'm just 17! :P
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.
ReplyDeleteyes sir a movie is indeed for personal decision of like or dislike. i respect your individualism and point of view too.
