Final Verdict: Ishqiya 'Ran'n

Last weekend, it was a movie marathon for me with two back to back movies : RANN and Ishqiya. And the public verdict was that Ishqiya was an outright Box office winner and did well in comparison to RANN.

In my opinion, RANN is a very well made movie and Ishqiya is a bad one. Being a Amitabh fan had nothing to do with that.RANN was a clever ensemble of able cast who put up a noteworthy performances to justify their selection. Amitabh lead the pack followed by Riteish who also did come up with decent performance. RGV did showcase the nuances of the Media world and its incessant struggle to balance the actual News with commercial reasoning for its existence.

And Ishqiya started where "OMKARA" ended in terms of Dialogues. The east UP dialect filled with profanity was the showcase of the movie with a weak story woven around to support it. It was a clear contrast with RANN where good dialogues supported a good story.

And as shown in RANN, commerce always win in short term. Hence, Ishqiya with more commercial elements ( songs, beautiful heroine, bombs, gun shots, and profane dialogues) is an outright winner.
