Rogue, Rusty and Romantic - Ishqiya reviewed

Vidya Balan: "Aapko to thik se jhooth bolna bhi nahi aata"
Naseer: "Kya karoo, mein aurat nahi hu na!"
Vidya Balan: "Achha, agar aurat hote toh?"
Naseer: "Pata bhi nahi chalta ke mein Pari hu ya Tawayaf"
Striking, isn't it? Ishqiya hits the right chords and keep on coming to you with such brilliant dialogues and some awesome chemistry between ensemble cast.
Watch out for the disclaimer...the movie set it's difference from there itself. Vishal Bharadwaj has his own way of cinema, Director Abhishek Dubey's Ishqiya fits perfectly in to it.
Story of Babban (Arshad) and KhaluJaan (Naseer) two small town crooks who are on run to save their as*es drop by at fellow crook's house Varmaji. Varmaji is no more and the house left with his widow Krishna (Vidya) who provides a shelter to these two street smart, witty and to large extent selfish fellas. What follows is an interesting premise and I do not want to kill it for sake of movie review.
Ishqiya works mainly for it's treatment which is rusty and honest at a time, dialogues are real crackers though sometimes hard to digest and finally the masterstoke in terms of casting.
Arshad is finally out of circuit act and he is truly a treat to watch.
Naseer is a amazing as romantic and yet too vulnerable Khalujaan
But the movie belongs to Vidya Balan, the lady must have born with Saree, as it suits so good to her. I just loved her in this movie. She is wacky, manipulative, helpless and all at the same time.
Gulzaar and Vishal Bhardwaj have created a magic again. This sutali bomb is surely fun to crack.
