Ishq Vishq Rebound has finally hit the theatres, marking the Bollywood debut of Rohit Saraf and Pashmina Roshan. The much-anticipated film is touted as a spiritual sequel to Ishq Vishq and has been the talk of the town. With mixed reviews pouring in, Twitter has been abuzz with opinions on the film. While some viewers found it bearable and decent, others deemed it unbearable and criticized the performances of the lead actors.
The film follows the story of four Gen Z friends – Sahir, Sanya, Raghav, and Riya, as they navigate through friendship, love, and self-discovery. Directed by Nipun Dharmadikhari, Ishq Vishq Rebound attempts to capture the essence of its predecessor but falls short in delivering emotional depth and charm.
Rohit Saraf shines as the fourth-wall-breaking narrator, engaging the audience with his performance. However, Pashmina Roshan’s monotone delivery leaves much to be desired, failing to bring her character to life. Jibraan Khan’s portrayal of Sahir is hindered by underdeveloped daddy issues, while Naila Grewal’s role as Riya feels insignificant in the overall storyline.
Despite teasing deeper layers in navigating friendships and messy breakups, the narrative retreats to superficiality, leaving fans of the original Ishq Vishq disappointed. While today’s youth may find some enjoyment in the film, it falls short of capturing the essence of its predecessor.
In conclusion, Ishq Vishq Rebound offers a fresh take on a beloved classic but misses the mark, leaving both old and new viewers wanting more.
