Romeo is handsome and Juliet is pretty but that’s simply not enough to
recreate the Shakespeare’s classic. The writing department needs to be
every strong to get the flavor right. And that is where ‘Issaq’
miserably fails, with hardly any sequences which will hold the attention
of the viewer. The movie’s attempt to recreates the classic story
artificially. There are some scenes which try very hard to look cute,
but fail. Some scenes try to be funny and fail in doing so. Some
sequences are supposed to create an atmosphere of sympathy and they fail
too. Issaq has plenty of factors going against it. There are only some
handful scenes which might impress, but the flawed writing and
screenplay overshadows the very few good parts of the flick. The movie
shows enough lip-locks, and unfortunately the director presumes that it
is more than enough to create a great chemistry.
