'ISSAQ' Conquers The Battle At The Box Office!

By Srinivas P


'Issaq' 2013 released on 26 July 2013. Manish Tiwary is the first filmmaker to be granted permission to shoot Varanasi's oldest Ramleela, thanks to his Maharaja Uncle. Manish Tiwary has a special relationship with Varanasi. After all, the director's uncle is the Maharaja of Benares. And thanks to his connections with the royalty, Manish's film has beautifully captured one of the city's oldest Ramleela that has been running across three centuries, thanks to the patronage of the city's royal family.

While Prateik has been making news, the leading lady of the film was kept under wraps. Amyra Dastur, aka Bachchi who raced ahead of nearly 400 girls in audition, makes her Bollywood debut with this action-filled drama, 'Issaq'. Set against the backdrop of Banaras, the story begins by showcasing the violence unleashed by sand mafia controlled by urban elite and equally violent retaliation by Naxalite armies. The sand mafia is run by two influential Banarasi families, Kashyaps and Mishras, who are at brutal feud with each other. Kashyap has an 18-year old, pretty and innocent daughter Bachchi (Amyra Dastur) from his first wife.

Amyra Dastur's debut film 'Issaq' with Prateik is a fascinating love story between the two lovers. It is one of those stories that will make you believe in the concept of love that lasts forever. It has romance and action, very gracefully combined together. It shows how love triumphs all battles and succeeds.

Prateik went a step ahead and even took training for fire dance and did his action sequences himself in the film. Based in Banaras, the film has a lot of sequences at the Ghats where Parkour; a form of physical activity to reach from one distance to another in the quickest and most efficient way would be useful. Such sequences are never easy to shoot and require skills and director Manish Tiwary wanted Prateik to fit in the character to the tee. Prateik is also giving all what it takes to be a perfect Banarasi boy in love,'' said an official spokesperson.

A defined mixture of Naxalite and a love story is neatly balanced in 'Issaq'. 'Issaq' is one of the most awaited Bollywood movie of year 2013.

Manish Tiwary's 'Issaq' has grabbed a lot of eyeballs and has left Bollywood biggies talking about this adaptation of Romeo & Juliet. Salman Khan has also appreciated Prateik for his excellent physique in the movie. The music of 'Issaq' is very soothing. With romantic tracks like 'Issaq Tera' and a cheerful track 'Enne Unne' which talks about the colors of 'Issaq' and many more. Mohit Chauhan has yet again proved that he is the king of romantic tracks. His song has won a million hearts and has been appreciated by majority of the audiences. Overall it is a wonderful experience to watch a love story which is based on the lines of Romeo and Juliet and shot in Banaras. It has an altogether different feel to this movie and audiences will love this mix and match. It is a perfect way to spend your weekend by watching 'Issaq'.
