Directed by : Manish Tiwary

Tale of Romeo- Juliet set in Banaras. The initial scenes between Rahul (Pratiek Babbar) and Bacchi (Amrya Dastur) is the only time I felt something good about the movie.
Bad script is lifted by good directors, but here the direction is simply poor. Dialogues are plain bad. To make matters worse, Pratiek's performance is very ordinary. Amrya Dastur looks lovely and acts well too, she brings good innocence to her character though her voice reminded me bit of Dia mirza.. nevertheless I quite liked her.
The rivalry between Kashyaps (Sudhir Pandey) and Mishra's (Sandeep Bose) is very badly handled. There's a wierd character who is always eating paan while speaking, and then woman of Kashyap has affair with their main leader Teetas (Ravi Kissan). All these cliches take the story no-where. When you reach the climax, there is no sympathy towards the lovers. You just don't feel bad, like you did in Qayamat se Qayamat Tak or for that matter even Ishaqzaade (No i didnt reveal climax, romeo-juliet story itself reveals it).
Had the director foccussed on showing proper history of both families and the rivalry, it would had made the love story look much better. Also, too many slow motion dream kind scenes of Rahul were un-necessary. The use of Mohit's song happens way lot, and dissappointed how badly 'ek aag ka dariya hai' song is used.
Among supporting cast, Ravi Kissan does very well. Vineet Kumar gives good performance but the same dialect.. when will I see him in a different role. Prashant Narayanan is wasted, didnt like how they show the naxals, looked un-real. Evelyn Sharma is fine in small appearance.
Overall, Issaq turns out to be complete bore. I expected a decent movie, didnt knew I was in for a torture.
Verdict : INTOLERABLE
