TSI Five-O: A spectacularly simple tale of love, deceit and greed
If you fell in love with the simple, rustic score of “Ishqiya”, chances are that you will enjoy the film as well. Right from the first scene of the film, “Ishqiya” sets out to be an enigmatic film, artistic and arresting in about equal measure. A black comedy, the plot of “Ishqiya” is cleverly drawn and it begins with small-time thieves Khalujaan and Babban (played by Naseeruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi respectively) escaping from literally being buried alive by their gun-wielding boss (Salman Shahid), and finding refuge in a small town, Gorakhpur, at the house of an old friend. However, their friend had expired, and his widow Krishna (Vidya Balan) allows them to stay at her home. At first, Khalujaan loses his heart to the charms of the widow, but soon Babban too follows suit. As they battle each other for her heart, the two crooks realise that their lady is twice as crooked as them! Together, the trio goes on to hatch kidnapping plans, the thieves to recover the money to return to their boss, and Krishna for her own hidden motives… Sadly, the ending is the only place the film falters where the interest aroused is snuffed out with a hurried, low-on-impact, climax.
The acting by the three lead actors is first-rate, and what is remarkable is that the supporting cast match their brilliance take by take. The protagonists spew slurs thick and fast, but strangely it doesn’t seem crude but neatly compliment the characters and the setting. A first attempt at direction by Abhishek Chaubey, we bet with “Ishqiya” he already has built a strong fan base for himself!
