Cool movie. If you have nothing to do, watch this movie. This movie will neither make you laugh, nor will it make you cry. But you'll be smiling throughout the movie. This college romance flick is good for a lazy afternoon. Amrita Rao looks pretty and fits in perfectly in her character. Shahid Kapoor needs to watch his steps, all through the movie he tries to imitate ShahRukh Khan. Shahid, be yourself! Your way too good to be impersonating someone else. Shenaz needs to press down the attitude, you're just a newbie babe. Don't act like you've conquered Bollywood. You still have a long way to go. And yeah, What's with the weird accent?? And lastly, this review would be incomplete without mentioning Vishal who has done a wonderful job as a faithful Rambo! Also Satish Shah and Neelima Azim (whos Shahids real-life mom too) have done a great a job.
If you like such films then watch it It's not as stupid as KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI though and quite realistic in comparison(at least the friends are shown real) but the story goes for a toss
the characters suddenly change like the friends of Shahid who suddenly become good guys.etc
Plus the love angle is damn clichéd but the handling is good
The Karvachaut bit looks stupid too
The film is okay for people who want to remind their college days
Ken Ghosh did a good job though the script is faulty Music is good
Shahid looks nice and acts well but imitates SRK in many scenes and that got stuck to him for a long time otherwise he is decent in emotional scenes Amrita Rao handled her part very well Shenaz irritates
the rest are okay

Ishq Vishk is "Archie/Betty/Veronica" in Bollywood.
The story is pretty stale and has been made practically in each decade since the inception of Bollywood. How-ever Ishq Vishk is the movie for current decade - set in contemporary times with fresh approach relevant to todays world and portrayed using new faces, which is what makes the movie click.
How Shahid Kapoor drops the cute-next-door-girl, Amrita Rao for hot-girl with an attitude Shehnaz. The rest of the movie is the journey of our hero's realisation and return to the true love.
The movie is draped with melodious hummable songs, dances, funny comic scenes, teenagish one-liners. The movie is targetted towards teenagers and the director does not falter in this aspect.
This movie is perfect debut vehicle for Shahid Kapoor. His has what it takes to be. Perfect body, good dancing skills and firm dialog delivery (though reminds me of Javed Jaffery's voice at times!). Amrita Rao plays the innocent girl convincingly and walking away with audience's compassion. Shehnaz Tresurywalla is just-okay types. Satish Shah and Neelima Azeem (Shahid Kapur's real-life Mom) provide good support.
Both the actor and director are to watch out for.

I love this movie so much. It's fresh and fun, and not to mention hilarious, with catchy songs. Shahid and Amrita are also the most perfect couple ever! Amrita's character Payal is easily related to and believable. Everyone does a great job, especially Vishal! This is a movie for young people, not something you would watch with parents or kids. It's not a life changing classic, but a fun chick-flick that I will always watch from time to time. You also get to see a really young Shahid as this is his first movie. This movie will be treasured by all "shamrita fans" like me. =) Watch it if you want a good laugh and good chemistry.
This is what you search in bollywood. I believe it's a timeless piece of romantic comedy for teenagers. Those were the years when bollywood had it's own take on film making not like now where they are all copying from other movies.
