Gustaakh Ishq Trailer Unleashes a World of Poetry and Passion
The highly anticipated trailer for the upcoming romantic period drama, 'Gustaakh Ishq', has finally been released, sending waves of excitement through Bollywood fans. Starring Vijay Varma and Fatima Sana Shaikh, the preview instantly transports the audience to the bylanes of a bygone era, where the air in old Delhi was thick with the scent of poetry and whispered love stories.
A Glimpse into the Poetic Narrative
Released on Monday, the trailer offers a rich, visual feast of a timeless romance. It introduces us to Nawabuddin, played by the charismatic Vijay Varma, a man who seeks to learn the intricate art of shayari from a renowned Urdu poet, Ajiz, portrayed by the legendary Naseeruddin Shah. The stage for love is set within the poet's humble abode, where Nawabuddin's path crosses with Ajiz's daughter, brought to life by Fatima Sana Shaikh.
The initial frames are filled with serene moments—the trio sharing profound poetry and warm tea on chilly winter mornings, suggesting a deep, intellectual connection. However, the trailer quickly takes a dramatic turn, hinting at unexpected twists and painful misunderstandings that threaten to tear the budding romance apart, creating a palpable distance between the lead characters.
Behind the Scenes of the Cinematic Saga
Manish Malhotra's production house, Stage 5 Production, unveiled the trailer on Instagram with a poignant note in Hindi, which translates to: "A story that will remain in the heart like a memory. This is the tale of a bold love, written in the lanes of old Delhi." The post confirmed the film's cinema release date is set for November 28, 2025.
This film marks a significant milestone as the third project from Manish Malhotra's Stage5 Production, a banner established in 2023. The creative force behind this poetic venture is writer-director Vibhu Puri Dehalvi. Adding to its prestige, the music is composed by the maestro Vishal Bhardwaj, with soul-stirring lyrics penned by the legendary Gulzar. The cast is further strengthened by the presence of actor Sharib Hashmi in a pivotal role. The production had successfully wrapped up its shooting schedule in April of the previous year, building anticipation for its final release.
