Ishq

"Ishq" Malayalam movie Cross section of the today's world shown in 2hours and 15 minutes. The movie "Ishq" is all about the love affair of an young couple, moving through contemporary affairs of present Kerala, like public ogling and sexy remarks on couples, moral policing, frustrations of young men and insecurities of dames. Shane Nigam as the reckless youth lover, played his part with ease.... his 'don't care' attitudes changing to revenge mode is excellent. Shine Chacko fits into the anti-hero character well, his facial expressions are superb. Ann Shethal as the timid dame is good and strong ... especially at the climax, when she takes the lead to express her bold decision. 7.5 on 10 for this thriller movie, which comes with a tag line... 'it's not a love story' It's a blow to the society for keeping women as sub-standard citizens, it's a blow for the hyper-inflated male egos. "Ishq" ... Love is a triangle of Acceptance, Understanding and Appreciation ... remove anyone, the love triangle falls. Must watch 'Ishq' ... If you are seriously in love or planning to love... because Love is not 'child's play'

Great acting by Shine and Shane, brilliantly written move, gave me goosebumps, Ann Sheetal did a nice job, whenever movie becomes predictable something different happens, Awesome ending!

1 Extra star for irritating Shine!

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

Really this is an amazing movie, acting and direction and finally screenplay is amazing, I think there will very few movie like this ever made in India, While watching this one thing will be always roaming in mind 'what next' I am a little be disappointed that this movie has got very few ratings.

Love it like it bottom of the heart.

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
