The tag “Not a love story” made me watch this one and I should say that it is well made movie. Later, I read in some reviews that this one is a copy of Hollywood movie “Landmine Goes Click” and I even tried to watch it. Sorry to mention that it was pathetic and I couldn’t stand to see it…I just forwarded it to the climax. The climax was most stupid one I had seen on screen in long time. Now, coming back to this movie, Ishq is mostly edge of the seat thriller-revenge drama based on moral policing. I felt that everyone gave solid performances in the movie. Someone mentioned that the lead girl just sat and did nothing to help her man. Well, some people don’t react during tensed situations. I think that was okay. The twist in the end was good one. Aren’t most of the men are like the lead character of this movie? This is debatable though. Shine Chacko fits into the anti-hero character well, his face and expressions fit well. See this movie if you haven’t seen it. My rating is 3.5/5.
