It
had already found place in the
most expected movie of the year
list for many of us after the
wacky teasers, sexy trailers
and imaginative posters were
released. Vishal Bharadwaj's
name in the production credit
and the plot of a love triangle
with Naseerudin, Warsi and Vidya
Balan in the lead alone is enough
to bring in the audience. And
does this Abhishek Chaubey directed
Romantic crime/thriller hit
the mark? No points for guessing
as it does so in Ishtyle.
This story about two naughty
yet lovable small time crooks
Khalujan (Naseer) and Babban
(Arshad), trying to escape from
Mushtaq, their old Boss, ends
up in the house of a mysterious
widow Krishna (Vidya Balan).
Mustaq finds them and gives
them 10 days to return the money
they have stolen and in all
the confusion, Krishna is also
dragged in. Now Krishna along
with the two crooks plan a kidnap
of an industrialist to escape
from being killed and in the
process the two end up falling
in love with the widow. And
instead of reading the rest
of the story, it’s much
better for you to book the tickets
online for this roller coaster
ride before you are left with
none.

Abhishek Chaubey the screenplay writer of
Kaminey and Omkara has made a power packed
first half and though the pace slackens
in the second half and the climax and pre-climax
are a little not in the same league, it
sure brings in a smile on your face after
you step out of the theatre. Naseerudin
Shah might have got a role which didn’t
experiment on his histrionic skills but
it still brings charm and elegance to the
character. Arshad Warsi, after a long time,
is given a role which gives him scope to
showcase his talents and with some terrific
one liners and exceptional body language
has made the most of it. Vidya Balan shows
pain, love, lust and anger in her face with
extreme ease and brings believability to
the most complex character in the movie.
The supporting cast is equally brilliant.
The best part about the movie is that you
will be unable to point out any single scene
as the best as almost every scene has been
well thought out and brilliantly penned/
performed.
All the songs make you sway; Vishal Bhardwaj
shows his mastery in the piano once again.
Although some heavy western instrument usage
in a few places makes it look misplaced
for such a rural setting. Camera work by
Mohanna Krishna is simple yet effective
for such a movie. Editing by Namrata Rao
needs special mention as she has done a
spectacular job.
Overall it’s a treat of a movie which
has to be enjoyed in the theater. The dialogues
being UP dialect might be fully enjoyed
by the northern states but still it’s
worth the money spent.
Verdict:
Hop on this thrilling joy-ride
