Ishq Aaj Kal Review : Not So Romantic Tale of Confusing Relationships and Mystery

Zee5’s Ishq Aaj Kal is a spin-off web series of Zee TV’s Ishq Subhan Allah starring Ankita Sharma, Paras Kalnawat and Angad Hasija…

Ishq Aaj Kal

After giving some hard-hitting and edge of the seat thriller series', Zee5 has finally released its much-awaited romantic web series titled Ishq Aaj Kal. The series which is a spin-off of Zee TV’s Ishq Subhaan Allah, stars Ankita Sharma, Angad Hasija and Paras Kalnawat in lead roles. While Ishq Subhan Allah showcased the clashes between old school thoughts Vs. Modern outlook, Ishq Aaj Kal conveys a completely different story, combined with love, revenge, thrill and mystery. Produced by Creative Eye Productions and Directed by Nitesh Singh, the series also features Roshmi Banik, Kavita Ghai, Rajesh Khera, Shagun Jaiswal in pivotal roles.

Introduction

The story is centered around Alia Jafferi (Ankita Sharma), trying to find the whereabouts of her father, who was jailed for killing her mother, Heena. She sets out to seek the truth about her father and ends up getting an internship at the hotel where her mother died. Meanwhile, Arshad Khan (Angad Hasija), the owner of the hotel, had a troublesome childhood because of his drunkard mother. Faraz Sheikh (Paras Kalnawat), on the other hand, takes up the internship inorder to prove that his father, Wasim was not having an affair with Heena. Munmun Dasgupta who has her own set of secrets, too leaves her home for the internship.

What we liked? 

The series came up with a strong storyline - a bunch of young kids, who landed up at a hotel with different motives and each one of them having a past story. Ankita Sharma, who is playing the lead in the series, has given a good performance. Apart from her, we loved Paras Kalnawat as Faraz Sheikh, his performance looked effortless. Despite being a newbie, Roshmi Banik did justice with her character.

What we didn’t like?

The story has been moving in three different timelines, which becomes a little confusing. The transitions could have been executed smoothly for better understanding. With such an intense story, proper character development was needed. Viewers are most likely to lose interest at some points.

Ishq Aaj Kal

Verdict:

We liked the concept of the show but it lacked proper treatment. With decent performances and mystery elements, the show makes for a good one time watch.
