Ishq Vishk Rebound Review

Ishq Vishk Rebound is nothing like the 2003 Shahid Kapoor, Amrita Rao and Shenaz Treasurywala-led Ishq Vishk. This new-age romance addresses the issues seen in relationships today (not just boyfriend-girlfriend, but married couples too) and how individuals navigate through it. The Nipun Avinash Dhawmadhikari directorial is a blend of romance, comedy and drama with perfect doses of memorable songs with catchy steps, hard-hitting dialogues and life advice.

The film – shared from Raghav’s POV (Rohit Saraf), takes viewers on a journey from Dehradun to Mumbai and tells the story of friendship and love. Raghav, Sania (Pashmina Roshan) and Sahir (Jibraan Khan) are childhood besties. While Sania and Sahir are in a relationship – filled with several breakups and patch-ups, Raghav is the third wheel in their relationship and has to deal with their tantrums when they split. The equations change when during one such breakup, Raghav and Sania go on a trip and fall in love with each other.
