Ishq (1997)

Too much of everything

Excellent but underrated film

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

This movie was so entertaining and entertaining and full of entertainment with the best comedy Action scenes are excellent romance is brilliant storyline is superb screenplay is superb background music is superb songs are excellent Ajay devgn is superb aamir khan is decent juhi is excellent kajol is outstanding Editing and direction both are impressive and interesting Overall my rating is 7/10

Ishq is an excellent film. No wonder why it was one of the biggest blockbusters of 1997 along with Dil To Pagal Hai.This film has everything working in its favour. A superb cast, awesome music, good storyline and zany humour.Ishq is the story of four lovers: Ajay (Ajay Devgan), Raja (Aamir Khan), Madhu (Juhi Chawla) and Kajal (Kajol). Ajay and Madhu are the offsprings of wealthy industrialists, Ranjit Rai (Sadashiv Amrapurkar) and Harbanslal (Dalip Tahil) while Raja and Kajal are poor. Ajay and Kajal fall for each other while Raja and Madhu take a rough route before giving their hearts to each other.The twist in the story comes in the forms of the wealthy fathers who want their children married off to rich spouses. So together, they create a scheme to separate the love birds and then get their children (Ajay and Madhu) to marry each other.But love always wins and that is the crux of the film.I liked the casting in this movie. The four actors share a great chemistry with each other and not once do you feel that they are uncomfortable with each other.Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla provide some light moments in the film and their antics are worth watching. Ajay Devgan and Kajol are likable as the brooding, intense lovers.Anu Malik had an excellent timing with the music. 'Neend churayee meri' and 'Mr. lova lova' being my favorites in this film. The other songs are also good.Overall, Ishq is a must watch! It made me miss me the golden era of the 1990s so badly.

Indra Kumar's films are never original, nor they have anything new DIL was okay though too OTT, while BETA was too melodramatic but good RAJA was crap, ISHQ is good too nothing greatThe first half is spend with slapstick OTT scenes which are funny mostly like the pipe scene is too much though stupid, The love angles too have their fun The Exorcist angle is unnecessary and too muchThe second half gets too melodramatic and things get boring but they are some good scenes like Aamir- Ajay clash and some moreIndra Kumar handles comedy quite well and drama too Music is very goodAamir Khan has done comedy in AAA earlier and here he is in comfort zone and makes you laugh the most in the first half stealing the show with his one-liners and expressions Even in serious scenes he does a great job Ajay looks too silly in some comic scenes and overacts in some and is decent in some but excels in dramatic scenes and his chemistry with AK is terrific, i wish they work again togetherJuhi acts very well in the mischievous role though she overacts at places but it suits well Kajol is unnoticeable in first half but decent in second halfDalip Tahil, Sadashiv Amrapurkar are too loud and play the clichéd villainsJohny Lever is loud too but makes you laugh at placesDeepak Shirke, Tiku Talsania have some funny scenes

I have watched this movie to the point where I have memorized it and am still enjoying it, which is surprising given how I feel about comedies. This is a Romance film, comedy film, a film about true friendship and family. In this one case, trust friends over family. Trust love and heart over bonds of birth.Ishq is the story of 2 sets of friends Ajay (Ajay Devgan) and Raja (Aamir Khan) as well as Kajal (Kajol) and Madhu (Juhi Chawla). Ajay and Madhu are rich, whereas Kajal and Raja are poor. To complicate matters Ajay and Madhu's fathers hate poor people. They play dirty tricks to break the couples up and get Ajay and Madhu married.The acting is heartwarming, it is rare to see a film with so many big names in it where egos do not come into play. Aamir and Juhi provide most of the comedy, with Ajay showing that he does have comic talent. Kajol, however, keeps the movie from devolving and the plot on track. Great watch!
