Ishaqzaade, the Movie!A bad remake of QSQT that is so bad that one might even fail to notice the similarity between the two. It took too much of effort on my part to even get the faintest idead of the thought behind this epic movie.
The story is about a muslim girl and a hindu boy both belonging to political background who are all gearing up for elections. Obviously they shall fall in love but then not all that easily. They are so much agianst each other that you almost feel for them while they fight over a few cans of diesel and a dance performer. There is pointing of gun and more of "jaan se maar denge" sorts for sometime. All before the dude Parmaa(Arjun Kapur) decides to pee on election posters of the muslim party while, Zoya (Praneeti) fumes and slaps the dude in response, asking for apology. All it takes is the guy jumping inside ladies toilet and landing to Zoyas place (where surprisingly, her brothers are all just too friendly to let him off with just few minor cuts) for the girl to go from "Kill him" to "Awww! My baby". Whaaatdaaaaaawhaat! So, all it takes is some peeing, jumping in the ladies toilet and much overacting to get the girl who would have killed him otherwise!
Before you can even know how on earth they are in love, they secretly get married . After having slept together , the dude reveals that all that love drama was only to get back at the girl and leaves the girl fuming for good reasons!
Parmaa secretly distributes their marriage snaps (hindu wedding) to get the muslim vote banks to go against the muslim party on the pretext of inter religion shaadi and all that. Zoya being the commando girl who went from "Kill him" to "Awww! My baby" goes to Parmaas place to kill him only for his mother (Where did she come from!) to intervene and give this very wow lecture on true love.Yes, obvioulsy the commando girl ,after almost being raped,did not fall for it right away but then but then,, this is Ishaqzaade! Zoyas family members as well as Parmas want to kill her and as Parmaas grandfather fires, Parmaas mother takes the shot to save her. Parmaa does not even act for the next 5 minutes!
Then he only casually decides to follow his mothers word and save the girl going agains this own family, who now wants to kill both Zoya and Parmaa. Zoya is still all angry and wants to kill Parmaa. All till another song plays, and she is back in love! No Whaaadaaawhaat this time! That was only expected!
The climax is the best part! Zoya and Parma are chased by some 10-15 odd men. A gun battle starts where no less that 500 rounds are fired with not a single bloody hit! Trust me, I have not seen a movie where there has been so many gunshots and no one getting hit! (Noone except for the mother who only jumped in the bullets way to get hit). After a long battle and much overacting and the most pathetic lines you might ever hear, they just decide to shoot each other. Finally they do manage to kill each other and a few bullets end up killing someone ! That pretty much makes Ishaqzaade!
I will not recommend watching this one if you are paying!

I guess there are more than many reviews addressing direction,music,makeup,light etc , written by people who understand it better.
I could write about it as well, but that would be making people read my personal bias on subject that they might know better about. The ridiculousness of the story line does not change for anyone, and hence the NON review.

Honestly, I am not up for an argument on this here.
You clearly loved the movie and so to say, dont find ANY story ridiculous. Good for you!
I dont hold the same opinion.
The post anyway is meant for lighter reading. I thought the "non" in the title conveyed the intent.

I dont know if I gave the wrong impression of any sort but to clear things up, I love watching movies, in as many languages as I know of ( Bengali, Malayalam, Tamil, Bhojpuri, Telugu apart form the usual Hindi, English etc) and I appreciate all that I personally find good , that without turning a blind eye to blatant story line mess ups.
As it is, there is nothing called perfect art and there will always be a this or that missing which is just the case with any and every movie. But then there are movies like Ishaqzaade, which have too much of it for you to like any bit of you paying 230 bucks to watch it. (While then are are classics that you might watch twice or thrice). That is not bashing Indian Cinema. Movies like such , FOR ME , are not ambassadors of Indian Cinema. They are by products of commercial cinema meant to raise money, which they do. Not that I dont like them. I Liked Dabaang and must have watched it 4-5 times . Pyaasa, Guide,Devdas and many many more such are what I would talk of when I talk of Indian Cinema.
Yes, I agree that people have been to hard on Bollywood movies. But then critics got to do what they got to do. Not reading critics help me a lot in enjoying movies though.
And its always the minuses that gets special mention ( very much like how this seemingly lighter post found its way down to this argument) . Writers who write well and understand cinema should introspect the good and the bad points. I completely agree to that. But an end chain consumer with not much knowledge or writing skills would only know if his 230 bucks was worth any.
There is a definite brighter side, but me talking of it would be more like a history student trying to teach physics in a mixed classroom. I completely understand your point but then I am only a history student. :)
