Ishq

I really enjoyed this movie. The director keeps you at the edge of your seat and enthralled after the initial 20 odd minutes of setting the scene. I could really relate to Shane's character as a young suburban boy who can show his guts and courage in a familiar setting around his friends and locality, but succumbs to desparation once he is in unfamiliar territory. I think the director did a great job of showing his vulnerability and confusion cos he wanted to protect the heroine at all costs while he was also battling the fact that whether what he did was right/wrong. I also liked the twist in the end shining light on the male chavunism of wanting a woman to be pure and pristine and Shane focussing all his thoughts and efforts to understand what happened to the heroine. Overall, a good attempt and a good watch.

Movies against the moral policing have been seen in the malayalam industry in the recent times and i think this is the best of that kind. The first half is really haunting and brings you to the edge of your seats, second half does the same but gives you a different experience. If you're a movie lover and love raw, realistic movies then go for it. Do watch it in theatres

Malayalam industry has already seen a handful of movies dealing similar topic... 'Ishq' is still fresh and thought provoking...Ishq excelled in casting, direction, and script. Must watch movie in recent times.

Movie started off slow with typical Shayn Nigam all smile and in love. Then the pace picked up once Shine Tom came on screen. After the interwell it really made us on the edge of our seats. The best thing about the movie was the climax. I don't want to spoil it for you but you are going to clap if you are not a misogynist. Well done team

This movie truly lives upto the tag that they advertised, 'not a love story'. Since they already told that, anyone would expect something different to happen when the movie starts, and thats definitely the thing that you get from this movie. The turn of events in both the first half and the second half of the movie is insane. It has managed to capture every bit of attention. Thriller to the core. The direction and screenplay is refreshing. I definitely noticed the amount of work done in direction, it added more clarity. The cast again is another strong point of the movie. Definitely not a big cast, but has done their job perfectly. The story is awesome. Raises voice against a major social evil that has gained popularity in India in recent times. Overall a very good movie
