Dedh Ishqiya

It's unspecial story aside, Dedh Ishqiya is one of the rare black-comedy/thriller that simply refuses to bend to Bollywood norm and full marks for that! The movie is indulgent in quite a few places, but the brilliant acting, excellent dialogues and handsome execution make this an out-and-out winner you shouldn't miss!

For every dip, there are saves. A rip-roaring climax, and the ****, venal disposition of the key players makes "Dedh Ishqiya" a fresh, if not original, movie in a sea of seen-it-all-before capers. The franchise’s kinetic whim, and Iftikhar and Babban grounded nature – even with their small-time crook temperament – still function as the movie’s hook. Despite not rooting or caring for them, its hard wishing something bad happens to these two. (Mr. Shah’s Iftikhar in particular, adds that slight notch that makes him more appealable than Mr. Warsi’s simple-minded ruffian).
