After months of postponement in the release of
Preity Zinta’s first production venture, Ishkq In Paris will finally
hits the theaters tomorrow. Directed by Prem Soni, the movie also stars
newcomer and television star
Rhehan Malliek in the lead role. After attending the special screening
of the movie, we bring to you an exclusive review beforehand. Lets see
how the film is.
Story:
Ishkq (Preity Zinta) and Akash (Rhehan Malliek) are
two different individuals who meet each other in a train to Paris and
end up spending the night together. While Akash is on a break from his
mundane boring agent life, Ishkq is happy-go-lucky half French, half
Indian girl who in an emotional mayhem after her father leaves her
mother (Isabelle Adjani).
Their ‘Night free of guilt and baggage’ turns out to
be the most memorable night of their lives. But as per their
commitments, the two part ways without even knowing each others full
name. Will they meet again? Where will their destiny take them? The answers to these questions form the rest of the story…
Positive Points:
Ishkq In Paris is the Hindi remake of the Hollywood
flick, Before Sunrise but with a desi tadka added to it. Filmmaker Prem
Soni manages to bring back the sweet romantic love story that has been
long lost in Indian movies.
Speaking of performances,
Preity makes a comeback with this movie in her own quirky self. Her
talkative nature in real life is very aptly depicted on screen. Not to
forget that she looks gorgeous. Rhehan on the other hand is a fresh
addition to the film industry. Along with his acting, he also manages to
bring a charm on the screen with his good looks.
Isabelle is an artist of poise and she has an on
screen aura that is unmatchable. The actress is beautiful in every way.
The movie is filed with romantic moments and Paris has been showcased
wonderfully.
Negative Points:
Even when the first half of the film is a bit acceptable, the second
half looses the flow and charisma. Prem Raj’s attempt feels more like
an emotional turmoil than a love story. Every time Preity opens her
mouth to speak about her so-called family troubles, the audiences keep
loosing interest in the movie. Isabelle’s expressions in a few sequences
are funny.
Even after being a 96 mins short journey, the love story stretches in the second
half to an extent that feels like an epoch. Some of the sequences in
the film are boring including the climax which is too joyful to digest.
Technical Aspects:
The music album of the film is refreshing, especially Kudiye Di Kurti, which features Salman Khan in the guest appearance. The song takes the viewers in high spirits
and gives a break from the dull poignant uproar. While the first half
depicts a love story of 30 something couple acting like teenagers, the second half is nothing more than a cheesy story about break-up, commitment and marriage.
The camerawork by Manush Nandan is A class, as he very aptly captures the romantic Paris streets and the astonishing Eiffel Tower.
The screenplay is unpleasant while the direction lacks substance.
Editing is decent and Dialogues are fine in the first half, but become
tedious by the second.
Verdict:
On the whole, Ishkq In Paris is a tacky love story
that feels and looks good only in parts. However, if you are a die-hard
romantic and cannot afford to visit the city of romance, visit the movie theatres to take a journey through the beautiful city of Paris.
Movie Rating..............2/5

Preity waster her hard earned money on this dumb one. In trying to be different, the film just takes you round and round and leaves you nowhere.
