‘Ishq Forever’s best thing is Javed Jaffery’s one liners only, but the actor has too short role to play, that we can’t even get enough of entertainment! On the other hand, his co-actor, Lisa Ray is back in films after a long gap, but in the movie, you will not feel pleased with her bad acting. The plot and story defies logic, and the climax seems to be too predictable! The director presents this film in typical 90's style due to which it fails to connect to its audience and is a complete boredom.

A rip-off of Hollywood film Chasing Liberty, the film also seeks inspiration from various romcoms like Roman Holiday and Leap Year. Lack of originality and the cliche-laden script can be forgiven, provided the chemistry between the lead couple clicks. Sadly, it doesn't so the scenes fall flat. Poor writing and bad direction needs to be blamed as the the lead actors have a confident screen presence but their characters lack substance. What does work in the film's favour is its old school take on romance and Nadeem Saifi's melodious songs, reminiscent of his 90s hit music. Despite the flaws, if the story of a good-looking couple stuck in romantic situations at picturesque locations excite you, you can give it a shot.
