Movie Review Of Ishq

Nitin, Nitya Menen, Ajay, Sindhu Tolani, Nagineedu, Ali, Ravi Prakash, Sudha, Rohini, Satya Krishnan etc

Rahul (Nitin) falls in love with Priya (Nitya) at the first sight. Both of them alight a flight at Delhi to Hyderabad, but is diverted to Goa due to bad weather. They fall in love with each other in Goa. Rahul realises an important thing when they finally land in Hyderabad. The rest of the story is all about how Rahul solves the problem and weds Priya.

Nitin looks completely different in this movie. He is matured as an actor. He tried to be himself and completely justified his character. He has succeeded in getting the minute nuances work with his performance. NityaMenon continued it from where she left in Ala Modalaindi. She is cute and natural. Ajay steals it from everybody whenever he gets a meaty role. In this film too, he made sure that he adds value. Ali is entertaining in a cameo. Nagineedu is good in a vital role. Sindhu Tolani, Satya Krishnan, Supreet and Ravi Prakash are adequate.

Director Vikram pens an interesting story with a ‘brother’ conflict point. He handles the screenplay well and joins all the dots at regular intervals. He handled lots of scenes in first half with dexerity. The characterization done to Nitin and Nitya in the first half is unique and lovable. However, Vikram couldn’t handle the second half the same way. The character of Ajay appears confusing as it vaccilates between being a passionate family man and phychotic revenge seeker.

First half of the film is nice and classy. Second half is ok with commercial twists. The narration of the film is slow. Plus points are good characterizations, nice screenplay, cinematography and music. A compact second half would have been good. Nitin is in his elements in Ishq. Ishq is likely to bring the much needed success to Nitin. You may watch it.
