Ishqiya is a story about love arising in characters, portrayed uniquely according to their own personal traits. The situations in the plot lead the characters to experience the emotion creeping into their lives in the most unexpected.As a matter of fact the characters here are so impulsive and unpredictable.
The story line-
Two thieves, Khalujaan [Naseeruddin Shah] and Babban [Arshad Warsi], are on the run from their boss, Mushtaq. They seek refuge at a friend’s house, but instead meet his widow, Krishna [Vidya Balan]. The time spent together draws the duo to her, Khalu with his tinted vision of old-fashioned love and Babban with his lustful eye. But the past catches up with all three!

The first hour passes peacefully, but the story actually gets dramatic and volatile in its second hour. It’s at this stage that things and the story starts getting more and more unpredictable. The story does a somersault every 10 minutes and by the time it reaches its finale, you’re curious to know how the debutante director would conclude this saga. The end, of course, will have its share of advocates and adversaries, but the fact remains that the story line offbeat.

Abhishek Chaubey is a welcome addition to the ranks of avid storytellers. His choice of the subject and also handling of the material is what makes this film so eminently watchable. Even the passionate lovemaking sequence between Arshad and Vidya has been dexterously canned.Vishal Bhardwaj, Sabrina Dhawan and Abhishek Chaubey deserve appreciation for coming up with a film that keeps you hooked for most parts.

Mohana Krishna’s cinematography is first-rate. Dialogues [Vishal Bhardwaj] are deadly and a few lines are indeed startling.Every actor in Ishqiya delivers a sparkling performance.Naseeruddin Shah is superb as a romantic character. He is matchless in the sequence when he learns the truth about Vidya and Arshad.

Vidya continues to surprise. In fact, every performance in Ishqiya is worthy of mention. On the whole, Ishqiya is definitely worth a watch. The film has a riveting plot, great performances, an absorbing story and skilful direction to make the viewer fall in ishq with it. it’s worth watching i suppose.
