Ranjit rai(sadashiv amarapulkar) and harbans lal(dalip tahil) are two rich friends who hate the sight of poor. Ranjit is worried that his son ajay(ajay devgan) roams around with his poor friend raja(aamir khan) and harbans is worried that his daughter madhu(juhi chawla) roams around with her poor friend kajal(kajol). Fearing that their children dont marry any poor person both of them decide to make ajay and madhu marry without their knowledge. Both trick their children to sign the marriage certificate. But ajay falls in love with kajal and after several fights and pranks, raja and madhu too fall in love. The fathers initially use muscle power to separate them but when that fails, they play a dirty game by framing raja and kajal of having an affair and cheating on ajay and madhu for their wealth. Ajay and madhu leave them and the rest of the film is how raja and kajal's innocence is proved and they get united.
First half of the film is full of fun with lots of slapstick comedy. Aamir and Ajay's chemistry was also good to watch. Aamir was as usual brilliant in his role. Ajay devgan too gives him good support. Juhi chawla also performed well in comedy scenes. Kajol played a subdued role in this film. Sadashiv amarapulkar and dalip tahil were great as the evil dad. Johnny lever didn't have much to do other than the last hour.
Film was very nice to watch until the last hour which ruined all the fun. The last hour is melodramatic, sappy and boring. The way raja tries to prove his innocence was unconvincing and weird. The whole tone of the movie was loud.
On the whole, better skip watching the film after mr lova lova song.

Ishq is a good entertainer, with almost all genres mixed into one. It has romance, comedy, actions, drama, horror and a bit tragedy throughout the entire runtime. A good fun time entertaining film without compromising the loudness at all. The loud cannot be ignored which disturbs the mood if sitting for 2.30 hours, which is the film's length. That what bothers, due to which it's a 6/10.
Aamir, Ajay, Juhi and Kajol all acted well. Kajol is a bit matured than the rest who takes the lead in serious tones throughout. Ajay Samir and Juhi absolutely bought out the teenage restless lovebirds traits to screen. They also did preety good in acting the vengefulness traits of young lovers. Kajol is good as the victimised poor girl, Aamir too as the protagony who defends the poor against injustices of the rich. The comic plots are spotlight for the film and it will be remembered for that purpose. The dramatised parts are also engaging, has messages imbibed. The message of parent child relationships, the futility of wealth in building relationships etc. The presentation is also fast, not serene.
The story is good too. With some of the comic memorable scenes and horror themes the film presents the story of two poor people falling in love with two rich people. Then the troubles and adventures begins, which involves heartbreak, friendship being shattered and trust being broken. The scenes like monkey as 007 or garage scene imply a full fun time as well equally serious. But like usual fun film it ends with an optimistic note where families and friends being united again. For all its flaws and entertainment it's a 59/100. Though not for matured audience still a recommendable for entertainment.

I guess that most Bollywood movies will strike western viewers as somewhat quirky in terms of storytelling structure and acting, but compared to other Bollywood movies I've seen so far, this one seems to be an exceptionally quirky one.
The story is fairly simple: rich boy (Ajay Devgan) and poor boy (Aamir Khan) are best friends, rich girl (Juhi Chawla) and poor girl (Kajol) are best friends. Rich boy falls in love with poor girl, poor boy falls in love with rich girl, and the two rich fathers will do anything to destroy the two budding relationships.
That's basically it. There is no real plot; instead there's a sequence of scenes where the two fathers devise a dirty scheme, which is promptly thwarted by the young lovers. On to another scheme, which again is not successful. The next dirty plan follows, which... you get the idea.
Still, the evil schemes become increasingly more devious, and their consequences more severe as the film progresses; along with this progression, the film makes its way through all genres that you can imagine: it starts out as a fairly silly slapstick comedy, turns into romantic comedy, then into romance, then into thriller and finally into a tragic melodrama. At one point, there's even a horror scene thrown in for good measure.
Plot holes and illogical character behaviour aplenty, but that's what you expect of any Bollywood movie, more or less.
As for the acting, well, don't expect stellar performances. Most of the supporting cast are somewhat annoying, especially in the slapstick scenes, although Johny Lever for once plays a fairly non-silly, likeable character.
The lead actors give solid performances, particularly Kajol and Aamir Khan, who manage to be funny (without overdoing it) in the comedy bits and believably serious/emotional (without overdoing it) in the tragic parts. Ajay Devgan has great onscreen chemistry with Kajol (they aren't married for no reason, it seems), but overall his character has a serious depth deficit and is just too gullible. Juhi Chawla is very pretty and good fun to watch, and it is her very energetic performance that drives the movie along much of the time. However, she is mostly really more of a pleasant diversion than a full-fledged character.
The music by Anu Malik has no real highlights and, like the film, probes its way around several genres. My personal favourite is 'Dekho Dekho Jaanam', a compellingly cute, slightly silly Kajol/Devgan love duet (sung by Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik). 'Ishq Hua Kaise Hua', the corresponding Chawla/Khan duet (Udit Narayan/Vibha Sharma) is more romantic, much less successful, but comes at least complete with lots of Swiss Alps. The disco-inspired songs are, alas, not very inspired.
Overall, this is a 3-hour tour de force, an all-in-one package of all emotions and film genres that you can imagine; not really the best of Bollywood, but still fairly enjoyable. Not sure whether it's worth the trip to the cinema, but rent the DVD and watch this if you are in a quirky mood or if you have friends over for an Indian dinner.

Ishq is an excellent film. No wonder why it was one of the biggest blockbusters of 1997 along with Dil To Pagal Hai.
This film has everything working in its favour. A superb cast, awesome music, good storyline and zany humour.
Ishq is the story of four lovers: Ajay (Ajay Devgan), Raja (Aamir Khan), Madhu (Juhi Chawla) and Kajal (Kajol). Ajay and Madhu are the offsprings of wealthy industrialists, Ranjit Rai (Sadashiv Amrapurkar) and Harbanslal (Dalip Tahil) while Raja and Kajal are poor. Ajay and Kajal fall for each other while Raja and Madhu take a rough route before giving their hearts to each other.
The twist in the story comes in the forms of the wealthy fathers who want their children married off to rich spouses. So together, they create a scheme to separate the love birds and then get their children (Ajay and Madhu) to marry each other.
But love always wins and that is the crux of the film.
I liked the casting in this movie. The four actors share a great chemistry with each other and not once do you feel that they are uncomfortable with each other.
Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla provide some light moments in the film and their antics are worth watching. Ajay Devgan and Kajol are likable as the brooding, intense lovers.
Anu Malik had an excellent timing with the music. 'Neend churayee meri' and 'Mr. lova lova' being my favorites in this film. The other songs are also good.
Overall, Ishq is a must watch! It made me miss me the golden era of the 1990s so badly.

The main reason I watched this movie is because of the great cast. Aamir Khan, Ajay Devgan, Kajol, and Juhi Chawla. That already gets you excited. The actors all did great, even Johnny Lever. This movie is a perfect one to watch with the whole family, because it has some great scenes and it's a totally clean movie. It has everything in it- action, drama, comedy, romance, and an overall good story that is told in true Bollywood style. I mean even though its a typical story filled with clichés and Bollywood masala, it entertains and is above average. And really, the movie has a great message, which is that all people are equal, rich or poor. Many people think that poor people are not equal to the rich people. The movie also says that there is nothing wrong in falling in love with a lower class person. The songs were also good as most of 1990s Hindi films had good music. This movie overall was pretty good.
Lo sapevi?
- QuizAamir Khan and Juhi Chawla were a hit screen pair involved in hit films such as Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988) and Hum Hain Rahin Pyar Ke (1993). But because of a prank Aamir played on Juhi during the filming of this movie, Juhi refused to do any more projects with Aamir Khan for almost a decade. However the two have made up.
- Versioni alternativeThe UK release was cut, for the film's original theatrical and home entertainment releases a pre-cut version was used. However, upon a later re-submission to the BBFC for a DVD re-release the original unedited version was submitted to the BBFC for formal classification. Upon this submission cuts were required to two scenes of violence (slash to face with pitchfork, kick to crotch) to bring this version in line with earlier pre-cut version which was passed PG. These cuts made in accordance with former BBFC policy still used at the time of submission on different video versions of the same work.
