Issaq
in this original Indian adaptation of William Shakespeare's Romeo &
Juliet directed by Manish Tiwary, we see the story transposed to Banaras
and its neigbouring areas that are witness to violence unleashed by
sand mafia controlled by urban elite and equally violent retaliation by
Naxalite armies.
The sand mafia is run by two influential Banarasi families, Kashyaps and Mishras, who are at brutal feud with each other. Kashyap has an 18-year old, pretty and innocent daughter Bachchi from his first wife, Bachchi's role is played by Amyra Dastur who marks her debut in this film.
On the other hand, Mishra's son Rahul (Played by Prateik) is a good-looking teenager with predictable interests for a boy of his background - Girls & Guns!

For the second time this week Ravi Kishan gets it bang-on. Playing a
vicious entrepreneur with a marriageable daughter, Kishan is an
energetic ball of agile evil. The same goes for the rest of the
arresting ensemble cast of very capable actors who get into the mood of
the con-job without fuss and with a flair for acting funny without
toppling over into parody.
I call it Fukrey-land. Welcome again to the comic world of lovable
losers. The cast here is older, if not wiser than in Fukrey. Mummyji
(Dolly Ahluwalia) and her family of sons and son-like wanderers must
redeem the family honour. Hence, we encounter a series of con-jobs,
which involves vicious builders, bankers, caterers and middlemen.
