Dangerous Ishhq (2012)

A very unique story. Never seen concept in Bollywood till 2014. I liked the thrill and suspense. Movie may have gone flop but after so many recent waste Bollywood movies this one still has story. It has only 1 good song hence the rating. Karishma was fantastic. I wish Bollywood makes more of such suspense movies. People who r sleeping in the theater are either too tired or brainless.

DI is a supernatural thriller and just gets listed in one of those Old fashioned "Pichchle janam" films of bollywood, like Hameshaa, Karan Arjun, OSO, etc.The plot revolves around Sanjana, who's lover gets kidnapped and during the search for whom she begins to get visions of her past lives, and she soon makes shocking realizations about herself and those around her.This supernatural concept of rebirth and such stuff will probably not appeal to people anymore. The film does have its thrilling moments but nowadays people want thrill with some logic also. The music is mostly romantic ballads only, Karisma acts well but like the concept of this film, she is also looking old fashioned. Jimmy Shergill does well for his part, whereas Rajneesh Duggal's role is pretty limited.Another major flaw...this is a spoiler...in all the past lives stories, the protagonist and her lover are played by the same actors, but the villain is not. Also, they should not have used Ravi Kissen in the Rajput story because it kind of gives away the suspense of the film.Can watch once.

Trust Vikram Bhatt to mix everything under the sun to come out with a suspense thriller. He is known for his concoctions mixing Past Life and murder, Sex, Music, Romance etc in earlier successful and unsuccessful films from Fareb/Kasoor/Raaz/Inteha to Haunted/1920/1920 Returns/Shaapit and now Dangerous Ishq. Honestly, DI has an interesting concept. I don't believe in Reincarnation but the concept is fascinating. Vikram Bhatt has woven several layers of past life in this story and slowly unraveled the mystery. The culprits here are several things. The pace, which drops at many points in the film. The choice of actors (casting). Karisma does a good job and looks great on screen too. But Rajnesh as her love interest is miscast. No, she doesn't look older than him (on the contrary she's still got it) but he doesn't match up to her in terms of screen presence. Moreover, he doesn't get a chance to exhibit acting skills either as his role is an extended guest appearance. Divya Dutta is dependable as usual and the rest of the supporting cast are good, especially Natasha and Ravi Kishen. But when we talk about casting, we look at the lead pair. And that clearly, according to me, has gone very wrong. Even the makers only publicized Karisma on the posters of the film. Moreover, Karisma looks too modern to deliver those lines in Rajasthani or Marwari (not sure of the language, sorry!) Himesh Reshammiya's music. The songs sound pleasant but baring Tu Hi Rab, none of the other songs caught my attention. Thankfully, VB has used them in the background. And the biggest problem if you ask me, is the inconsistent screenplay. It's not confusing, it is inconsistent. At some points you are engrossed at other times you are just bored!Overall, what could have been a good thriller, remains a good concept only.

I have to say I'm truly shaken by this movie. I didn't expect at all that it would be this good.I have always been a great fan of "karishma kapoor" whether it is in "dil to pagal hai" or my favorite "zubeidaa".Se has been my favorite actress since childhood and since i opened my eyes to Bollywood and I have to say no one, I repeat no one could have played this part better than her.The 4 regressions are each beautifully detailed and well constructed and all very very meaningful,my favorite one being the one with he punjabi girl and the scene in which she has to climb into a true of dead bodies and lie among them sends chills down my spine.I am very surprised that this movie received such negative reviews however the thing is we have become used to watching boy girl love song trouble song plan song and marriage song that we are unaccepting to a different refreshing story like like the one of dangerous ishq. The soundtrack is beautiful no anarkali disco chali no item song but it deeply touches your soul a power possessed by the great "himesh reshmaiyaa". The makeup and costumes could not be faulted no matter how hard I tried. Karishma was looking radiant as usual and perfect for each regression .The makeup covered 5 centuries perfectly.Although I would say that you require an IQ above 2 to understand and appreciate such a movie which unfortunately most people don't posses.All in all a terrific movie must watch and the twist at the end was spectacular. In conclusion sound,story,costume,makeup,location all great. Couldn't ask for anything better.
