Ishq

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.

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

Storyline handles a deadly current issue which happens in our society, and they did well with its structure. The strength movie is cast, what a brilliant performance from Shane Nigam 'nd Shine Tom Chacko, 'nd all other supporting cast did their best. Loved the way they cracked the usual cliche in last minute. Thanks to the makers for this nice movie with a slap to the audience.

"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'

Ishq (Love) is as much about moral policing as it is about the menacing male ego in a romantic relationship as we see in this psychological thriller where characters played by Shane Nigam and Ann Sheetal are caught in a mess while trying to execute young love in a modern Kerala setting. TN.
