Just came out of the theatre totally disgusted. Dear Ken Ghosh, I liked Ishq Vishq. I found Fida interesting but dear… you really disappointed me in this movie. This is totally avoidable. I guess this happens when a person tries to do two… at times three much; in one take. Promos were cool, videos were nice but movie… wait for the movie to come on idiot-box. Give 150 bucks in charity rather than watching this much hyped, a lot awaited trash.
Lets see. Music… just okay. Dance… watchable. Acting… just better than average but story… I couldn’t find any. Man, many lives in 121 minutes is no story. Shahid as Sameer is an actor. Rejected and then selected and just before the interval… betrayed. Then he becomes a teacher and finally participates in an event. End of two hours, he is not a teacher and not even an actor. The scope of showing him as a teacher or an actor is reduced to merely two odd scenes. Is that a story you wanted to present, Ken? I am sorry but you failed… yourself and all the moviegoers.
Shahid… he was not good beyond those abs and collars. Six-packs doesn’t mean a blockbuster. He was convincing as an actor… but only in bits and this cannot work when you want to carry an entire movie on your shoulder. Genelia was totally herself. But now, I think; she must seek avenues beyond those cute eyes and awesome smile. Mohnish Behl was apt. There was nothing for him to do. Satish Shah was totally wasted.
But there were a few silver linings as well. First. The kid who was Genelia’s brother… He was really good. Another really special mention. Parikshit Sahni was really brilliant in few scenes he had. As father of Shahid (and Madhwan’s in 3 Idiots), his presence added something worthy to watch in this fiasco (not 3I).
To sum it up, I would like to say that actors were not the failure… it was the presentation that messed up everything. Just avoid. However… if you are a dance freak… watch for a few dance sequences and an interesting introductory scene. But that’s it. Nothing else…
