Ravindra Vijay is superb in a character with two shades.

Teja Sajja is able, while Priya Varrier looks the part of a coy girl. It had to be a remake, much like 'Narappa' and 'Vakeel Saab'. 'ISHQ' is the kind of semi-experimental and subject Telugu cinema wouldn't have made by itself. And whether he would have ever atoned for causing trauma to a child and a woman. We also don't understand what would have been Siddhu's destiny had he not posed a certain question to a key person in his life.

That's what defines 'ISHQ', which is admittedly and certainly not a love story.Īt one level, the film attempts to create a debate around moral policing and the pathology around the social phenomenon. Siddhu and Anu are bullied, intimidated and harassed throughout the night. He threatens them, tries to touch Anu inappropriately, and utters double entenders. Madhav (Ravindra Vijay) invades their privacy and starts behaving like an incorrigible crackpot by posing as a cop. Siddhu and his girlfriend Anu ( Priya Prakash Varrier) plan to make out in a parked car on a night.
