Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

yunusitboss Ishqiya (A)--------------my Rating: 2.5/5* It is romantic drama with certain twists and turns..... * Cast have done their role perfectly especially Naseeruddin shah and arshad warsi..... * Locations were superb and Direction was average....Songs were not impressive but manages in low BGM... - Story was fine with some twists but they are illogically.... - Dialogues were bold and non sense vulgar language but they are funny.....On the movie is a one time or not watch movie.....Ishqiya is a story about love arising in characters, portrayed uniquely according to their own personal traits. The situations in the plot lead the characters to experience the emotion creeping into their lives in the most unexpected manner.

Ganesh Salian (salianmoviereview) Ishqiya directed by Abhishek Chaubey is an amazing watch.What I liked mainly was the style of direction.The style of direction by Chaubey is similar to that of Quentin Tarantino.For a first-timer it needs so much effort to direct a movie in the style of Tarantino and Chaubey does that flawlessly.The story is very good.The screenplay is water-tight.The music is another thing that I liked.Ibn Battuta is foot-tapping,while Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji is melodious.Kudos to Vishal Bharadwaj.The dialogs add spice to the movie.Performances-Each and every cast deserves applause.Naseeruddin Shah is fantastic.Arshad Warsi is simply mind-blowing.Vidya Balan is superb.Salman Shahid is funny.On the whole,Ishqiya is a must watch!

Biswajit Tripathy Bihar and UP has always been the favorite among film makers specially for Prakash Jha and Vishal Bhardwaj. Story of two small time goons who are hiding from their boss whom they owe some money decides to take refuge in Vidya Balan's house. Both of them gets attracted to Vidya Balan who in turn uses them to kidnap a rich man for ransom. But hey hold on, this is just the beginning of the conspiracy.Ishqiya is a very simple story nicely told. The screen play, the music, the make up, cinematography, director all deserves 10 out of 10. The most touching song "Dil to bacha hei ji" is still the chart buster.Performance of each of the character is highly appreciated from all sections of the society. Naseeruddin Shah has played a big character after a long long time and it was a pleasure to see him in this movie.

sayakboral-1 "In our village, kids learn how to operate a firearm much before they could how to wipe their butts", a matter-of-the-fact verbal bullet from a 15-year old boy, with thrice the maturity for his age. Ishqiya's essence is captured in its telling it like it is portrayal of some lawless badland in Eastern Uttar Pradesh where you really have to project outward toughness to avert an untimely death. This ruthlessness is reinforced by several shady characters, mentions of caste warfare, a local warlord who wrote the script of his own accidental death to get rid of a clingy wife, a steel businessman who also smuggles firearms in the covers, and two small-time city crooks who enter this paradise of aberrant, untrustworthy people and blend in quite easily with their slightly urbanized brand of deceitfulness. There's also plenty of symbolism here with depiction of gas cylinders and the absence of any real protagonist in the entire story. Each individual character has shades of grey and has been given adequate space to develop in sync with the plot. To say that the film's screenplay is brilliant would be an understatement, in fact it's after so many days I recall having seen a screenplay that actually outdoes the script. Ifthiqar and Babban Hussain are two petty thieves who're hiding for cover after running foul with Mushtaq-a big gangster. With some quick thinking, the two manage to contrive an escape and enter this village where they seek refuge with the widow of an old friend, called Krishna. Sparks fly and both men (an uncle and his nephew) take turns to seduce the woman. The younger one, Babban wins this affair much to the anger of the older suitor who hasn't lost his touch with gentle romance. Krishna, however, turns out to be the one who can play both of them for her own interest. Together, they plot a kidnapping sequence which goes awry and leads the plot to a climax. There's plenty of raw sexual chemistry in the film - Vidya Balan as the widow Krishna does quite well in this department. I was a bit surprised to find an element of sado-masochism in quite a few scenes, this has rarely been explored by Indian cinema in the past. The love-making scene between Krishna and her husband was on the theme of slave concubine (bandi) with her Emperor (Jahanpanah). In another scene, you have an adulterer male character in the blindfolds, tied to the bedpost with a cat-eyed dominatrix whipping him gently.Overall, Ishqiya is a must-watch thanks to its huge amount of unpredictability. Even though you don't really feel sympathy for any of the characters because of their antagonizing ways, you'd love the eventual outcome.
