Ishqiya - Movie Review


Ishqiya, all that I wanted to know first was the meaning. Then I found this wonderful blog entry which gave a funny derivation for the word. May be its true. Now my review.

Well as the readers of my blog are well aware I just don't write the story of the movie and say this is my review. For the story you can always bank on wikipedia.

Primarily the movie does not have any great story line. Infact the plot starts only just before the interval. The movie is all about two rogues (Naseeruddin Shah & Arshad Warsi) who ditched their boss and are on the run. These people land up at a friend's place in Gorakhpur only to know that he is no more. The friend's widow (Vidya Balan) gives them space to live for a while. Cunningly, she does that to use them to execute a plot which she has in mind. She tries to seduce both the guys without out one anothers' cognizance.

Leaving the plot aside, the director prodigally filled the whole movie with taboo words. Have we, the viewers got so perverted that we accept anything and everything coming into our way of communications? Are we ready to watch such a movie along with our kids? Are we ready to answer if those kids ask for the meanings of these words??? Is it only by using abusive words that we can laugh? Not by decent comedy?

The Crore Rupee question is "Is the censor board sleeping"? Does an A grade film mean that abusive language is used?

It is so shameful of all those media critics who have unnecessarily overrated the movie. Critics, I think, these days are bought. Obviously a producer who spent huge sums on a film cannot afford to lose the money to critics; right? Shame on those who hide the truth.

For readers who trust in me: This movie is an absolute waste of time and is no worth watching.

One good note is ... the official website of this movie is pretty good :-)

My Rating: 1/5
My Verbal rating: Need not watch
