Ishaqzaade

A bit of a surprise here, this film turned out to be quite entertaining with a great soundtrack and a serious underlying message. Both Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra turn in good performances and show promise- I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t start seeing more of these two young actors in the near future. Kapoor comes across in a really negative role before switching totally to the hero after the interval-- you may need to suspend disbelief to swallow the quick transformation but this is Bollywood, I suppose. The film is fairly fast paced for the best part of its running time, keeping you entertained throughout. A highlight of the film is the soundtrack, by Amit Trivedi, though not immediately appealing, it definitely grows on you. Item numbers like ‘‘Jhalla Wallah’’ carry the soundtrack but big rock ballads like ‘‘Pareshaan’’ and the experimental UK dub-step influenced ‘‘Aafaton Ke Parinde’’ really stand out. The film turned out to be a hit in India, if not overseas due to the lack of known stars. As always, the YRF DVD release is very good because it includes deleted scenes, a ‘Making of’ documentary plus the standalone music videos to some of the film’s songs– other lazy Indian DVD companies should take note of these extras because it makes the release a really attractive purchase.

it is good movie which will not waste your money..........it may not be a must watch movie but is a cute love story and a good work of two newcomers............it will give you a good amount bof entertaitment.........

The movie is awesome and so was the delivery of flipkart. Reached my home within stipulated time.

Good acting by both the actors and director really captures the essence of small town India. Special kudos to Parineeti Chopra who is quickly becoming my favorite actress. :)
