Rohit Saraf shines in Ishq Vishk Rebound, say critics.
The latest romantic drama Ishq Vishk Rebound has earned mixed reviews, with critics praising lead actor Rohit Saraf’s performance.
Directed by Nipun Avinash Dharmadhikari, the film is a sequel to the 2003 hit Ishq Vishk and deals with themes of modern relationships.
Displaying unevenness at times, the narrative focuses equally on Saraf’s character Raghav, and debutante Pashmina Roshan’s Sanya as they navigate love and heartbreaks.
However, critics note Saraf towers over the film with his author-backed role as a screenwriter during his romantic troubles.
Through emotional ups and downs, his nuanced acting holds the flick together. The actor brings lived-in sincerity despite uneven writing.
Debutante Roshan handles her major role reasonably but lacks consistency compared to her experienced co-star.
Supporting performers Jibraan Khan and Naila Grewal also make their impact count in important scenes.
While disjointed in places, the film delivers meaningful insights into relationships and proves there is more to life than dating alone.
Set predominantly in Dehradun, Ishq Vishk Rebound proves a reasonably engaging watch primarily due to Saraf’s solid anchor act.
It will hope to give its leading man’s career prospective momentum going forward.
