Reviews

Critical Response

Ishqedarriyaan opened to mixed reviews and responses. Times of India gave 1.5/5 stars to the film saying, "Evelyn Sharma for a change is not seen in skimpy outfits but her acting stays consistently poor, Mahaakshay is convincing but the film is way too tedious for you to sit through it. Music and locations are probably the best part about this film. Unfortunately, everything else is mediocre. Overall it turns out to be inconsequential in return. Despite decent production values, Ishqedarriyaan fails to click as it is way too cliched. Conventional is fine as long as it leaves some impact on you as an audience, which doesn't happen here."^[4] Paloma Sharma ofRediff wrote "The trouble with Ishqedarriyaan is that it isn't even bad enough to be good. It's just plain old dull. Lost in a world of its own, the film forgets to engage the viewer. The makers of the film might need to offer free tea at the screenings to give the audience an incentive to stay awake. The kindest thing I can say about Ishqedarriyaan is that it is yawn worthy." and gave the film 1.5/5 stars.^[5] The Indian Express gave 1/5 stars and wrote "Mahakshay returns in a badly-written romance, which makes you wonder why anyone would want to repeat the same mistakes. Ishqedarriyan’' features the age-old triangle of rich boy- poor girl- and third party, in a leaden plot that never takes off. We know who’s going to win fair maiden in the end, but we have to wade through two hours and more of sheer tiresomeness to get there. Who is this film made for?"^[6] Book my Show stated that "The love story is sweet, but cliched! An overdose of emotional drama makes this romantic saga a bore. A loose script, below par acting and cliched romantic scenes, Ishqedarriyaan is a love saga that will bore you for two long hours! The film despite starting on a good note, loses grip after the first fifteen minutes."^[7] The Indian Talks gave 4/5 stars to the film stating that "Evelyn can be seen in every third scene of the movie which makes it little boring the whole movie revolves around her. There is complete lack of the other sides of the story which is much needed with this idea. No doubt the performance of the actors are next to awesome."^[8]
