Set in a rural landscape,Ishqiya explores the basic human emotions as influenced by desire,greed and revenge.The raw feel of Indian Villlages are captivated beautifully and the lead actors makes the going on interesting by their histrionics and top notch acting capabilities.Naseeruddin shah excels as Khallujaaan especially in the romantic scenes.Arshad Warshi strikes chord with the audience after a long time.Vidya Balan surprises you yet again after Paa'.
Abhishek Chaubey,the director needs to be lauded for this excellent work.The extra talented vishal Bhardwaj pens the dialogues which are funny and hard hitting at times.The twists in the script and the narration makes Ishqiya a treat to watch.The songs are incorporated with the movie and you enjoy it since it helps the movie to gain momentum rather than acting as a speed breaker as in most of the recent movies.'Ibn e Batuta and Dil to bacha hai' is the pick and is picturized beautifully.Rahat Fateh ali Khan & Gulzar weaves magic with Dil To Bacha hai jee.
Crisp editing in the second half could have made this movie much better.The climax sequence is plain ordinary comparing to the rest of the movie.
Lets all look forward for any movie which has the name Vishal Bhardwaj connected to it in any ways.
Verdict: 3.5 out of 5 .Be in Ishq with Ishqiya !
