Ishaqzaade (2012) Movie Review


Director - Habib Faisal
Writer -    Habib Faisal
Running Time - 2 Hours
Cast -  Arjun Kapoor, Parineeti Chopra, Gauhar Khan
Release Date -  11 May


ISHAQZAADE is a cliched tell of love set in a fictional UP town. Parma (played by debutant Arjun Kapoor) is the Grandson of Chauhan, a political leader who is contesting for MLA election & have close competition from Aftab Quereshi. Quereshi daughter is Zoya (played by Parineeti Chopra), who goes to same college where Parma does. While campaigning for their respective parties, they cross each others path. After this there is a easy predictable love affair between them and the story unfolds as they struggles for their love against each others families.

But no, everything is not what you are predicting or guessing about the story. There is some good twist, turns and good races which won't let the movie goes down beside a old story.

This is Habib Faisal's (director, whose previous one was a National Award winning Do Dooni Chaar) second movie. He is more known for his witty and humorous dialogues in his movies as a dir. and writer. Here also, he gets success in this showing traditional dialogues in nontraditional ways.

There are some portion that are predictable. Movie is still very clear about its story or what it want to tell which is a love story against all odds of society, religion and politics. The chemistry between Parma and Zoya is very striking and passionate. Arjun Kapoor is looks impressive in his first movie. As everyone was expecting or to better say believing Parineeti does an charismatic acting. Special mention to Gauhar Khan (you may remember her from her last movie Rocket Singh where she played receptionist) for her small yet important role, she should get bigger roles now.

Watch this movie for two reasons, Amit Trivedi's music that is also choreographed very well and chemistry between Parma and Zoya. You won't regret it.


My Rating :- 6/10
