'Ishaqzaade' is an action thrill packed Romantic movie which has been directed by Habib Faizal who has been in scripting campaign for most the YRF team and has taken the captain of the ship’s role for the Second time after’ Do Dooni Char’ . This movie is based in a Nonexistent(Fictional) town of Almora (at least I have not heard of it) which has two poignant families (parties) who tug for the forth coming MLA elections. The Chuahan’s and Querishi’s Battle for the elections and have ferocious battle even in day to-day affairs.
Parma (Arjun Kapoor) and Zoya Qureshi are young clads of respective families. Parma is a perfect example for the word uncouth rough rude foul mouthed fellow whose aim is to get up in the family ladder by supporting his Grand Da. Zoya is a girl who wants to make her dad continue his winning streak and she falls in love for the loutish Parma and story unfolds from there.
As with all fairy tale movies there is a quarrel , chase , Love , Romance , Cheat , Life and …
Review : This movie for me is a cracker of a screenplay with Habib handling the script very well. The use of colloquial language has been the bench mark of the script including local satire and abuse. This has been handled well. The twists in the film is nothing but marvelous. None of the actors expect the leads are known and this makes the movie more lively. The locations and the props use in each and every scene adds value to the movie.
Parineeta Chopra playing the role of Zoya. Right from the first scene after censor certificate , you know she is ferocious she is a cracker of character nothing less than the malehood kinda. The scene she pawns her gold earrings for a Katta(Local Pistol) makes one understand what she is of. PC has showed she is no fluke actress and she has lived the role of Zoya. Her Emotions when romance , her anger when in ferocious battle with Parma (Arjun Kapoor) her Eye expressions and Laugh and the Nautankiwala look make one believe either she is Zoya Kinda girl or she has done a marvellos homework and she deserves Filmfare award for Leading lady if ‘Kahani’ is not considered. Every Scene she is in the screen , there is something going to happen and you can move your eye lid and if you do you miss something.
Arjun Kapoor , yet another ‘Kapoor’ , for him perfect debut and a three film contract with YRF will do world of Good. He has showed promise in acting the same way ranbir Showed in Saawariya. He is a promising actor and I’m sure he is next hot cake for the directors and producers. His style and body language when delivering dialogue will make you feel he isn’t debuting. Only time he gets wanting is when there is a close up shot (not always) but this is when experience counts , more films to his bag he is gonna improve from here. His Dancing is good.
Hemanth and Arthi handling the technical crew of Cinematography and Editing makes it a Racy and Pacy entertainer. It’s a chase. I like the slow motion montage shorts for its colour in Pareshan Song.
Amit trivedi handled Music and I say this movie is a musical Entertainer. The BGM suits to each and every scene. Paresan Ishaqzaade and Hallah Wallah are my favorites and Shreya Ghosal my favorite has done two numbers.
Chand baby role Played by Gauhar Khan is good and I have seen her in Rocket Singh and her act is appreciable.
Negatives are when in second half the directors loses his clue of what to do but he perfectly manages with neat performances make you not feel that.
Overall this movie is perfect entertainer with Cracker of performances. I bet You would have already watched it or booked it, for others go and See.
Though the story is common , screenplay is what differentiates with entire unit supports the leads to give a perfect execution.
A 4/5 in my scale and a must watch.
