The last week of November gave Bollywood lovers not one but two love stories - ‘Gustaakh Ishq’ and ‘Tere Ishq Mein.’ While the former brings the old world charm and is all about romance, poetry and nostalgia, the latter is about a heartbroken lover who turns destructive because of his pain.

Now coming to their box office performances, ‘Gustaakh Ishq’ starring Vijay Varma and Fatima Sana Shaikh in the lead, has faced struggle from day 1, and recorded its lowest on Monday. Meanwhile, ‘Tere Ishq Mein’ featuring Dhanush and Kritin Sanon has been enjoying the reigns. According to the latest trade reports, after a theatrical release of 4 days, ‘Gustaakh Ishq’ has managed to cross over Rs 1 crore in collection, while the competition has made more than Rs 60 crores.

‘Gustaakh Ishq’ review
“Designer Manish Malhotra’s debut film as a producer is gentle, though it could have taken a few more emotional risks. It leaves behind traces of beauty in its poetry, music, and performances, even as the larger narrative slips through the cracks. It earns quiet admiration rather than loud applause. You walk away remembering individual moments more than the whole. And perhaps that restrained, slightly unsatisfying aftertaste is exactly what defines ‘Gustaakh Ishq,’” reads an excerpt from our review of the movie.
