ISHAQZAADE -A deadly romance!

Ishaqzaade is a love story set against the backdrop of two political families – the Qureshis and the Chauhans – living in a small town called Almor in what looks like Northern India. The patriarchs of both families are fighting to become the next MLA, involving in caste politics to fill their vote bank. It’s an environment of hooliganism and hatred.

Parma Chauhan (Arjun Kapoor) and Zoya Qureshi (Parineeti Chopra) too get involved in the fight for power and supremacy. While Parmar wants to prove his worth to his grandfather, Zoya harbours political ambitions. Can love bloom between these two gun-toting hot blooded youngsters, amidst all the hatred and politics? It can and it does, as one would have expected it to from the beginning. But it is the ‘how’ that makes the film exciting.

The chemistry between Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra is excellent. Parineeti Chopra is outstanding! Watch her emote and deliver her dialogues. Parineeti definitely has the 'ingredient' to become the number one actress in Bollywood. Arjun Kapoor is fantastic too. He does complete justice to his role. Gauhar Khan is good and dances very well. Habib Faisal has managed to extract the best performance from all other actors as well.

The overt thrust on violence doesn't leave much scope for chemistry but the greenhorn cast must be applauded. Arjun Kapoor's scoundrel Parma is believable. The scenestealer, however, is Parineeti. The prop actress of Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl gets to sink her teeth in her first fullfledged heroine's role here. Watch her go, you won't dismiss her as the 'other Chopra girl' anymore.
