    Ishaqzaade rating: 5 out of 10

    There are some Writers/Directors who are connected to their roots, For E.g. Anuraag Kashyap, Vishal Bharadwaj, Tigmanshu Dhulia, etc. These directors try to emphasize more on the story, location, small characters, dialects and most important try to do something different than the usual run-of-the-mill concepts.

Film: "Ishaqzaade"; Cast: Parineeti Chopra, Arjun Kapoor; Writer-Director: Habib Faisal; Rating: ****

What does one do when love strikes during times of war? And make no mistake. Elections time in a small dusty town of Uttar Pradesh is akin to war. Guns are fired randomly at enemies, real or imagined. Enemies fall to the ground. Morals lie crushed under heels. And finer feelings are buried under a rubble of trouble.
