Vidya Balan has drummed up a delectable performance in ISHQIYA. She’s the widow whose life has suddenly exploded from its shell; a lover; a woman who misses those ‘tender’ moments and one who is out to exact revenge. A bundle of contradictions who has a deadly secret up her sleeve. You can’t help but fall in love with her character, Krishna Verma, delivered with intense finesse.

Arshad Warsi is back in the ‘circuit’ with his powerhouse performance as Babban. A goon, with lust in his eyes who realizes what it is to be in love when he meets Krishna. He also learns the meaning of betrayal when Krishna trains the gun on him. A performance delivered with the accuracy of a lunatic.

Naseeruddin Shah as Khalujaan puts life in the character of a pure romantic caught in the cesspool of crime. His careful romancing of Krishna is a pure delight. He draws you to his plight with his reaction when he learns his nephew, Babban, has already scored with her.
