    This is an excellent movie based on Inter religion and cast marriage....

    The movie is remembered for generations for its phenomenal story line and uncanny. Kudos to the people who have taken such topic. This movie not only makes you think about the society prospective but also questions your own "How are we heading as a society?"

    the think is people don't wanna see or hear of this issues as it is complicated and.have been prejudiced over all India.

    Movie is able to portray this problem in a very beautiful way. This movie is amongst the rare Bollywood jems, which going to remember for its courage to showing reality.

    As of 2022 this is still a problem that people afraid to talk and do.

    Terrific!

    Habib Faisal's Box-Office Super-Hit 'Ishaqzaade' is a terrific film, that works due to a strong script & excellent performances by its lead cast. Here's a love-story, that's brutal, wild & completely out-of-control.

    'Ishaqzaade' depicts the love story of two defiant, rebellious individuals. A passionate love story ignited by extreme dislike. A love-story that's brutal, wild & brash.

    Faisal's Screenplay is super-strong, each sequence unfolds superbly & the pacing is absolutely perfect. The only flaw lies in its culmination, which comes across as hurried. But overall, 'Ishaqzaade' is a winner! Faisal's Direction is top-notch, as well. Cinematography & Editing are good. Music by Amit Trivedi is masterful.

    Performance-Wise: Debutant Arjun Kapoor & Parineeti Chopra are excellent in lead roles. Arjun plays the raw, rustic, unlikely hero to perfection, while Parineeti is simply impeccable in her part. Their On-Screen Chemistry is marvelous, as well. Gauhar Khan does her bit well. Ratan Singh Rathore deserves a special mention.

    On the whole, 'Ishaqzaade' is a terrific film, that needs to be viewed!

    See it for the acting of the lead pair

    Parineeti Chopra and Arjun Kapoor - they will go very far in the industry. This film proves it. Parineeti does such a justice to the role, she is audacious, loving, carefree, .... her body language, her vulnerability, her dialog delivery - its a class performance. Arjun Kapoor, while I think, doing the role he did, is slightly easier than how Parineeti did justice to so many shades of her character, but still did a stupendous job.

    The other technicalities of the movie is brilliant. Art direction, the sets, colors, music (Oh Amit Trivedi, I cannot get enough of 'Pareshan')...

    I loved the movie. Do not watch this if you cannot take intensity .... its a mad intense crazy love story!

    An hardcore Romantic Mess that will makes you feel alive for a while

    A passionate love story ignited by extreme dislike. The Chauhans & the Qureshi's are two Political families whose rivalry & shared hatred for one another goes back generations. I don't watch too many Hindi movies except Hindi Art or social. So in the end this one obviously has taken my attention with its internal social view likes: Religion, Politics, Revenge, Love and Affection. This one really has some masala that can impress any kind of audience. Still have some lacking but every people has their own different point of view. Though it has simple and common concept but you guys will really love Arjun Kapoor & Parineeta Chopra's Hardcore Acting.

    Intriguing Psychosocial Drama

    Woven with shades of Romeo and Juliet, there's something eerie and unsettling in this tale of enemies to lovers. The cinematography, devoid of over the top CGI enhancement, felt raw and real, bringing in a weight of truth to the story.

    The characters came absolutely alive, full of malice, anger, hate, interest, and rage. I love ghat neither was wholly good, wholly bad. Also, their chemistry was off the charts - superbly played by the actors.

    The second half and the path to forgiveness felt slightly rushed. But their decent into madness and idealism, hoping their love meant something, had some impact on their families, left my chest hollow. The ending, albeit abrupt and cruel, felt perfect. It was realistic.

    And so the hate between different religions and cultures persists, unless us, the viewers, decide to reflect and stop the cycle.
