Ishqiya

Chutium Sulphate. Of all the chemistry in the world, Babban Hussain (Arshad Warsi) sure didn’t expect that for an acknowledgment on his looks.
A movie that’s Bollywood in every tasty sense. Sizzling Music. Pungent Drama. Spicy Love. Sour Betrayal. Salty Sex. Bitter Action.
 
Uncle Khalujaan (Naseeruddin Shah) and his nephew Babban Hussain are two nicks running away after double-crossing their bully, Mushtaaq (Rajesh Sharma). They head to a friends’ place for refuge but instead are welcomed by his widow, Krishna (Vidya Balan), the lusty-eyed enchantress. Desi tamancha. Sutli bomb.
What follows is a bewitching adventure into guns, trickery and expense amidst a tangled tale of Ishq (Love).

Schemed in a rustic village where chutthad dhone se pehle tamanche chalana sikhate hain this movie has a bucolic start and is driven by extremely uncomfortable characters that move a cartwheeling suspense into crisp humor every 20min into the film. Ishqiya is a movie to be reckoned for its astounding music, its impulsive cast and unpredictable story. I call it the desi noir.

If you are fed up of the daily chaas after your meal, try this spicy jaljeera for a change!

welcome onboard DS, and indeed u have driven home the point well, this movie surely had that extra "zing" to it....apart from the unpredictability of the story, the language of the characters, especially of warsi and shah had lot of gaali galauj and masses must have lapped it up (collected 15 crores in 3 days across India)....this movie has vishal bharadwaj mark stamped over it.....(although he is not the director)
