Halalon mein haramo mein jo miltey they hazaron mein ishaqzaade…!

After watching this 150minute flick I could not agree more than with the above statement.  As audience Bollywood over the years has subjected us to candy floss romance. Breaking the shackles Habib Faisal carved his niche out of Ishaqzaade. In spite of predictable story line, the way director has narrated the script on screen, for that I would give a complete thumps up and that makes this movie worth a watch.

The plot of the movie is set in an imaginative law-less place called armor in Northern part of India, where in to two families the Chauhan’s & Qureshi’s were caught in power tussle. Zoya Qureshi played by Parineeti Chopra & Parma Chauhan played by Arjun Kapoor, keeping the family traditions alive hate each other to the core and are at each other life’s.

The story over turns when both fell in love with each other. The way Zoya & Parma lead their journey of love and reach the perfect end  is all about Isaqzaade.

Firstly, the person that should be credited for the movie is the director Habib Faisal, who narrated the predictable story line in a completely un-conventional way. At no point of time the audience would feel disconnected with the movie. Real time locations, rugged slang, witty humor and some honest performances just make the movie amicable for the audience. The one aspect which stands out personally for me is, you never get to be saddened or sympathize with the lead characters till the end.

Coming to individual performances the shining star of the movie is truly Parineeti Chopra who just lived in the role of Zoya Qureshi. Her honest & innocent performance truly mesmerizes the audiences. If this be true, take my words we have a star in making. Coming to Arjun Kapoor, who eased in to the role of rugged Parma is too good for a new comer. But, to be critical in some scenes he has just fell short. Lastly, a cameo by Gauhar Khan as Chand Baby is true to the effort and adds that zing to the movie.

Before the verdict, I would like to share the other two important factors that really adds to the movie are, Music & Background score by Amit Trivedi and Cinematography by Hemanth Chaturvedi.

Finally, as stated these Ishaqzaade’s will not let you down. Do not miss it…!

My Rating : 3.5/5
