Dedh Ishqiya is more like a beautifully crafted 70 MM "Urdu Tukbandi" . If you're a fan of really, really great writing, clever lines, Urdu literature and Shayari, Dedh Ishqiya delivers by the truckloads. A Movie in which every performance is at its best-est including, Naseeruddin Shah and Vijay Raj. Madhuri Dixit - Nene is as scintillating and adorable as always, while Huma Qureshi marks her presence quite profoundly(As Always). Please don't judge Arshad Warsi on his performance in Mr Joe B Carvalho, he is born to be the "Babban" of "Ishqiya" Series, which seems to be a life time investment plan for him. A perfect blend of Vishal Bharadwaj and Gulzar Saab's flavor. 9 "Yad Al-Jauza" from side for this movie.

Dedh Ishqiya is the prequel to Ishqiya which did an above average business at the box office. While the prequel had a complex albeit an interesting plot, the sequel is miles ahead of it in terms of the script, dialogues and the fabulous performances of its lead actors. The story revolves around Khalujaan (Naseeruddin Shah) and Babban (Arshad Warsi) who are petty thieves planning to steal a priceless necklace. All said and done, they two rob the "nayab" necklace. However, on the run from the police, Babban succeeds in evading the police while Khalujaan gets injured and misses Babban. Babban is then cornered by Mushtaq (Salman Shahid) who demands the necklace from him. But Babban succeeds in escaping Mushtaq as well. Babban then goes in search of Khalujaan. Eventually, Babban sees Khalujaan on TV as Khalujaan is preparing to take part in a "mushaira" being held at the place of Begum Para (Madhuri Dixit) in Mahmudabad. The widowed Begum is in hunt for a poetic suitor who can impress her with his "shairana mizaaj." Babban catches up with Khalujaan and he also falls in love with the Begum's "chamchi" Muniya (Huma Qureshi). Khalujaan's strong contender is a local MLA gangster, Jaan Mohammed (Vijay Raaz) who is willing to go to any lengths for the hand of the Begum. Love, betrayal, trickery, suspicion and chaos ensue thereafter.Abhishek Chaubey does an awesome job in taking the prequel even further by adding new characters and new layers of suspense and funny and witty situations in the sequel. Almost every actor is special in his or her own way. Naseeruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi may not look that great individually. However, when these two actors are combined, the duo create magic. They have strong screen presence and exude confidence together. Madhuri Dixit is a delight to watch. She is excellent in the two dance numbers that she got. Her scenes with Naseer deserve kudos and the two look good in the romantic scenes. Huma Qureshi proves yet again that she cannot be sidelined in a movie with legendary actors. She shares a good chemistry with Arshad and her scenes with Madhuri are also great, especially in their semi-lesbian kissing scene. Vijay Raaz holds his own as the villain. In a film like Dedh Ishqiya, Vijay Raaz could have been easily sidelined but he shows that he could also excel in many scenes with his witty dialogue delivery. Urdu is used lavishly in Dedh Ishqiya and that might act like a sore thumb for many. The songs are picturized well and are easy on the ears. Editing and cinematography are up to the mark and the rural scenes are brilliantly captured. Overall, a great movie with wonderful performances and Dedh Ishqiya is notches above than its prequel. A delight for Madhuri's fans. Go watch it. Absolutely recommended!!!

Amazing flick.. Loved the offbeat beginning and the gunda who Arshad escapes. The movie becomes a little slow all of a sudden immediately after that scene but its still enjoyable and i recommend any fan to just go and watch it. Best dialogue which is repeated 3ice in this movie is : 7 stages of love : Attraction, Infatuation, Romance, Reverence, Worship, Obsession and Death. Interesting !!! Songs some of them r cult, its brilliant to watch Madhuri Dixit dance once more. The locations chosen are also rural and fixed, sometimes one wishes there was more dynamism there and thats when she gets herself kidnapped. For all avid movie goers. Go fetch and enjoy !!!

A wonderfully shot film. I would say it was a good experience. Though a long 2 hours and 50 minute movie, it didn't feel so; as the story-line and screenplay is quite brilliant. Also the characters have been defined quite well. Usually the reason for making a sequel is banking on the success of the first or earlier release, which turns out to be disappointing and unnecessary, but it wasn't the case here."Dedh Ishqiya", is an extremely pleasant experience, plus the hilarious characterization of "Babban" (played by Arshad Warsi) is just great.Great performances by all actors; Naseeruddin Shah - great as always and Huma and Madhuri's work was equally good. But a special mention to Vijay Raaz. He just takes the cake. "Jaan Mohammad" played by Vijay, is a power hungry politician who after engulfing everything that he could, has a single point agenda, to marry Begum Para (played by Madhuri Dixit), a widow of the previous Nawaab, who wants to fulfill her dying husbands' wish that she should remarry to a poet; And to achieve this she keeps an annual competition. This is where the fun starts as Khalu (played by Naseer) disguised as Nawaab of Chandrapur, who is smitten by Begum Para (Madhuri), enters the competition, only to find a tough challenge against Jaan Mohammad (Vijay).The movie has some very well written dialogs and the overall play-out is just really, really NICE.Kudos team entire team, especially to Vishal Bhardwaj and Abhishek Chaubey.
