Ishqiya Movie Review
Ishqiya, directed by Abhishek Chaubhey is a beautiful story involving love, drama and revenge. The movie has been produced by Vishal Bharadwaj and Raman Maroo. Gulzar has taken care of the lyrics and cinematography is by Mohana Krishna. Two if its songs, Dil to Bachcha Hain ji and Ibne Batuta have become a hit and are heavily downloaded from the net these days.
Ishqiya Story: Two thieves, Khalujan played by Naseeruddin Shah and Babban (Arshad Warsi) are on a run from their boss, Mustaq (Salim Shahid) Both Khalujan and Babban seek refuge with an old friend and instead meet his widow, Krishna played by Vidya Balan. As both the duo plan to escape, the time they spent with Krishna draws them close to her. Then starts the story of betrayal, revenge and greed starts.The first half passes off quite quicky and then the second half comes out with surprises and dramas.
Naseeruddin plays a romantic role and has perfromed brilliantly. Arshad Warsi will be seen in a completly different role from his performance in Munnabhais. Vidya Balan surprises everyone with a sparkling performance.
Over all a wonderful must watch movie with a riveting plot, great performance and an absorbing story.
The movie has been directed by none other than Ram Gopal Verma (RGV) and has Amitabh Bachchan, Reitiesh Deshmukh, Sudeep and Paresh Rawal in the lead roles. The movie also has Gul Panag, Neetu Chandra, Rajat Kapoor, Mohnish Behl and Rajpal Yadav.
Amitabh Bachchan plays the role of Vijay Harshvardhan Malik, a founder of a private news channel, India 24/7. Because of his journalistic ethics, his channel is battling it hard for survival. Jay, played by Sudeep, his son looks at his father's channel as a pure business enterprise and thinks that it must anyhow make profits to stay in the race and survive. He hates that his competitor, Mohnish Behl is doing it so well, better than him.
The story gets interesting when a corrupt politician, Mohan Pandey (Paresh Rawal) wants to use the channel to his advantage by using Amitabh's son-in-law Navin, played by Rajat Kapoor. Pandey aspires to be the Prime Minister and starts a vicious campaign against his political opponent.
Navin, an ambitious man, who wants to be the number one industrialist in the country, involves his brother-in-law, Jay in Pandey's game plan of campaigning against his opponent.
Amitabh has acted brilliantly yet again. Sudeep is dynamic and has performed superbly. Paresh Rawal after a series of comic roles, would once again be seen in a villianous role.
So whats your take? Ishqiya or Rann?
