With the trailer launch of the film Ishq Vishk Rebound, starring Misamatched and Ludo fame Rohit Saraf, being launched on June 11, 2024, the movie is set to be released in theatres on June 21. Under the direction of Nipun Avinash, the film is produced by Ramesh Taurani and co-produced by Jaya Taurani under the banner Tips Films Limited. It marks the big screen debut of Ritik Roshan’s cousin Pashmina Roshan, who is the daughter of music director Rajesh Roshan.
The cast includes Naina Grewal and Jibraan Khan, who is known for Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gam, where he played the role of Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol’s son.For those who don’t know, Ishq Vishk Rebound is a sequel to the 2003 cult coming-of-age film Ishq Vishk, which starred Shahid Kapoor in his debut along with Amrita Rao, Vishal Malhotra and Shenaz Treasurywala. However, during the teaser release, Rohit Saraf said, “The film is neither a remake nor a sequel to the 2003 film; the only thing common between the two films is that they belong to the same franchise. But it’s a new story altogether, a love story about Gen Z.” The trailer showcases four young, college-going teenagers who are deeply in love.
However, after a breakup and a love triangle, their friendship and relationship seem compromised.When Shahid Kapoor and Amrita Rao starred in Ishq Vishk almost 20 years ago, there was a dearth of college romances. Now, 20 years later, the college romance genre seems to have gone out of style but it looks like the folks making Ishq Vishk Rebound are trying to bring it back. The trailer of the film was dropped on Tuesday.
From the trailer, this looks like a film where college kids are stuck in love triangles and walk the fine line between staying friends and being lovers. In the three-minute trailer, you get a sense that this is the story of best friends who have fallen in love with each other and are now navigating rough waters of their relationship.The trailer also features a few songs from the original album, composed by Anu Malik, along with a few new tracks as well.Before the trailer launched, the makers unveiled the title track, ‘Ishq Vishk Pyaar Vyaar’. ‘Ishq Vishq Pyaar Vyaar, which is composed by Rochak Kohli, penned by Gurpreet Saini and sung by none other than Sonu Nigam with Nikita Gandhi featuring Mellow D As a nod to the original song, choreographer Vijay Gangly has retained the hookstep previously conceptualised by Ahmed Khan.
At an earlier event of the film, Pashmina spoke about her family’s legacy and said, “The pride is the legacy my family holds, the work they’ve done, I’m so proud of all of them. The pride, the luck, the support that I have come with, the pressure is to live up to that. To live up to their advice, to live up to their work, to make a place for myself in the industry where they have the hearts of the audience, that’s pressure.” With some fans being unhappy about the sequel of the Cult classic film many of the fans are excited to see what the film has to offer,It will be interesting to watch whether the film be able to match the hype of the original film or fail to impress the audience.
