!!..Ishaqzaade review..!!
As soon as the YRF logo came up on the screen, i started to fear that it would turn into another cliched love story!
Well, to sum the whole thing up...it DID but at some parts only. Thank god it wasn't the typical candyfloss romance like many of us are used to!
-The story didn't have any high point at all. The first half is bearable because of the initial political rivalry kind of a thing.
-The film captures the backdrop and the essence of the small town of Almore quite well especially in two chase sequences where Zoya and Parma run for their lives.
-Story is that of the old Hindi cinema ie Hindu-Muslim rivalry, their children falling in love, families turning against them, mother's sacrifice, change of heart and that's it!! That explains pretty much the whole story.
-Gaalis are the most prominent thing in this film and in the ending it was all about "dhishkyaoon" (*_-) vali guns which are called "Tamancha" in desi bhasha!!
-Amit Trivedi's music was really good. Plus the background score was also nice that added to the flavor of the movie!
-Though everything goes smooth, after a point of time, I felt the film started to drag. But it managed to prevent itself from falling all the way down and get a grip to hold a viewer till the end. I think that happened because there were too many sings and dance numbers that were not required at all.
Though being cliched and predictable, Ishaqzaade keeps u engaged for most parts mainly because of the good chemistry between the leading pair, their nice performances and the dialogues.
This is an Ok-ok film that was rides on the thin line between being average and good!!
I guess I would call it not so good but an above average movie that is worthy of the viewer's time and money!!
