It’s rare to see a warm romantic film that takes you back to the good old days of shayris, ishq and khwaish – all in one! Manish Malhotra’s Gustaakh Ishq – Kucch Pehle Jaisa does just that. For the ace designer, the film marks his first cinematic production under Stage5 Production, celebrating classic love and passion, a tale that goes beyond fashion and storytelling. Directed by Vibhu Puri, the trailer stars Naseeruddin Shah, Vijay Varma, Fatima Sana Shaikh, and Sharib Hashmi in their most deeply layered roles yet.
The trailer launch event witnessed Manish Malhotra, Dinesh Malhotra, Vibhu Puri, Vishal Bhardwaj, and the film’s cast – Vijay Varma, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Sharib Hashmi. During the event, Vijay Varma and Fatima Sana Shaikh shared a heartfelt moment against a classic chai backdrop, resembling a still from the trailer. Gustaakh Ishq’s trailer offers a glimpse into a romantic drama far from today’s conventional cinema. With the architecture of Purani Dilli, fading kothis of Punjab, and the grain of Manush Nandan’s cinematography, Gustaakh Ishq emerges as a narrative of desire, silence, and longing.
It brings back the warmth of old-school romance. Naseeruddin Shah plays Fatima Sana Shaikh’s on-screen father, a soulful Shayar Ustaad whose words flow like timeless verses. Vijay Varma, drawn to the magic of shayris, seeks to learn the art under Naseeruddin Shah’s mastery, only to fall for Fatima Sana Shaikh, a school teacher whose presence feels like poetry itself. The trailer weaves emotions into shayris, merging love, yearning, and longing — showing that old-school love will always find its heartbeat in poetry.
Gustaakh Ishq is layered with compelling performances, a magical musical score by Vishal Bhardwaj, lyrics by Gulzar, and soulful vocals by Arijit Singh, Shilpa Rao, Papon, Javed Ali, Jazim Sharma, and Himani Kapoor.
The film marks a new chapter for Manish Malhotra as a producer under Stage5 Production, blending classic storytelling with the future of Indian cinema. Produced with Dinesh Malhotra, and directed by Vibhu Puri, Gustaakh Ishq unfolds as a poignant love story of passion and unspoken desire, set amidst the bylanes of Purani Dilli and fading kothis of Punjab.
The film releases in theatres on 28th November.
