Only ...Thanks for sure for avoiding the spoilers. <br /><br />Only reason I could go and watch is for the curiosity about why the 2nd half trips, well if at all for me! And how the chemistry / relationship progresses between the two. And...what's the story is really about? Hmm...now I have three.<br /><br />Predictability is an interesting topic of discussion, which may be alright, if the moments are gripping and you are with the characters. But the over-the-top doesn't go well with me :-|<br /><br />So...I have a feeling I won't be going for this one till the dvd's out. So pity won't be able to carry this discussion forward on breaking-down the flick. <br /><br />As for performances I get my fill with the government and opposition folks who are swell ;-)Meta Santhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13353924613238352270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3870014331053487904.post-62630500077584138882012-05-14T03:32:05.364-07:002012-05-14T03:32:05.364-07:00There is more besides that.As I don't want to ...There is more besides that.As I don't want to reveal too much in a review, there is an intermission twist that shows the hero in a certain light.The aftermath of that is not handled convincingly enough.The rising opposition is just fine,its the main characters we need to care for.<br />But overall there is no reason why you shouldn't watch it.As a film, there are more things going for it.<br />BBB too as a screenplay was predictable and dragged in the second half but as a film on the whole,was interesting.Likewise, with Ishaq.personally I love watching good performances,story or no story and there are 2 here:Gauhar and Parineeti:)gayatri gaurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04375543035604734663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3870014331053487904.post-78401084124636737942012-05-13T21:58:18.038-07:002012-05-13T21:58:18.038-07:00Thanks for your response.
Interesting to note tha...Thanks for your response.<br /><br />Interesting to note that over-the-top worked for you in BBB. I think the same happened for the masses. And it typically works if you have a couple in contrast, kinda going after/against each other and then...letting the love blossom between them in an effective way.<br /><br />For the record, I ain't fan of the perhaps the biggest favorite of folks of the past decade - Jab We Met. Yeah, the same ol' issues: Kareen character being a bit too over the top and then...dhaadam! She turns mute. Worst-of-all, her Romeo is such a jerk of a guy that one wonders couldn't Imtiaz think of a tougher dude.<br /><br />Coming to the point of caring - what should / could have been done? You mention QSQT and yeah the one thing that worked great was - the two were one in terms of protagonist with opposition against both of 'em. The conflict is set-up great. So when they get to steal some moments (though now when I think of it - too cute), it tends to be effective - with death / evil arriving soon at their 'home', they share affection and being oblivious to what's coming, you care more for them. Plus taking their love forward by strengthening their relationship.<br /><br />I haven't seen Ishaqzaade and now am more reluctant! However being a screenwriter am curious to know what was the issue: the rising opposition was missing or...too bland or...over the top?! Or/and, as they faced the wrath, they were lack of moments that showed they cared a good deal of each other? Of course one way is to protect the other or make some sacrifice.<br /><br />This could be an interesting case study as from what it seems they set-up interesting characters, build up a captivating relationship but then...they let it slide away?

...Is the entire story set in a believable setting? <br /><br />Faisal is strong in bringing colloquial lingo to the fore, however one can get carried away. Something that didn't work for me in BBB - you do less, it's great, but if you do more, then...you flip over the top. Also the fact that the transformation of the guy was too sudden for my comfort.<br /><br />Looks like, by your review that the latter part of the middle act in Ishaqzaade doesn't have enough build-up in tension and character growth / development isn't what it should be.<br /><br />What does 'emotional quotient' imply? The chemistry between them runs dry or what? Though you do say it packs in a punch.Meta Santhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13353924613238352270noreply@blogger.com
