Bu film hakkında

Taking on from where we left off, Dedh Ishqiya discovers yet another journey of Khalujan and Babban, a poetic journey underlined with revenge, drama and deception. The Begum of Majidabad is hosting a festival of poetry and music in her mansion. The country's best poets are in town. Khalujan, posing as the Nawab of Chandpur, is participating as a poet in the festival. He is not there merely to show off his poetic wares but to impress the widowed Begum who, as the grapevine suggests, is scouting for a husband, preferably a poet. Babban arrives in Majidabad to take revenge on Khalujan, but his plans change the moment he sets his eyes on the Begum's maid and confidant, Munira alias Muniya, a brash and sexy young woman. Muniya too has plans of her own. She leaves the palace every now and then in disguise to meet gangsters in dark alleys. A dangerous kidnap plan is afoot and the palace is rife with intrigue. The shayari is dropped for the guns, daring chases and true intentions. In the end, love triumphs even if the players of the story do not.

Cashing in on the success of the original Ishqiya, Dedh Ishqiya is a rather unimpressive sequel in every way. It is quite a disappointment- a forced story, poorly constructed. A rushed job.

First of all, it is only movie in India cinema worthy of being called a "sequel" yet! Secondly its very beautiful to watch.

Dedh Ishqiya is intense, beautiful, witty, cruel - with charm interspersed everywhere in between. It's subtly, without the tiniest exaggeration, bold too. Above all, it's a Mushaira-e-Khaas in a timeless setting, beautifully fluidic just like the 'masterful' Kathak that liberates the beautiful, kagzi Begum Para, captivating us in the process. Somewhere in between the Karname-e-Ishqiya and Mazahiya Mushaira, it's also the story of a long Mexican standoff culminating in a perfect Hindustani setting. Wah wah!
