The biggest let down of Ishq Foreveris the story, writes Namrata Thakker.
February is the month of love and so it's the best time for romantic movies to make their way to cinema halls.
No wonder then that three loves stories have already hit the screens so far: Sanam Teri Kasam, Sanam Re and Fitoor.
Sadly, none of them managed to create any magic on screen.
The latest release Ishq Forever joins the bandwagon.
Starring Ruhi Singh, Krishna Chaturvedi, Lisa Ray and Jaaved Jaaferi, Ishq Forever is the desi version of the Hollywood rom-comChasing Liberty.
It's not an official remake but it would have been better if the makers had just bought the rights instead of lifting the basic story and making a sad rip-off.
Ishq Forever is about a free-spirited rebel Riya, played by Ruhi Singh, who is studying in South Africa. She loves her freedom but when her father becomes the Prime Minister back home, her life changes completely.
Ruhi gets tight security, and that's when RAW agents Naina (Lisa Ray) and Amitabh (Jaaved Jaaferi) enter the picture. They follow the young girl wherever she goes and Ruhi starts feeling stifled.
So on her birthday, she runs away from her party, as she wants to be free and away from all the security.
Helping her escape is none other than the hero of the film Krishna Chaturvedi, whose character is called Aryan Shekhawat.
From then on, Ishq Forever is like any other cliched Bollywood film with done-to-death dialogues.
