Another user said, “#GustaakhIshq is a sweet-and-simple film; the protagonist is flawed but not toxic. There’s no violence and the characters are speaking in shayaris and in chaste Urdu. Hence, Gustaakh Ishq is a one-of-a-kind film”

Film Trade Analyst, Sumit Kadel, expressed his views on the film saying, “#GustaakhIshq POETRY IN MOTION
RATING - ⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟( 3.5)
What a Friday for cinephiles -
Gustaakh Ishq is like watching a beautiful poem come alive.
#VijayVerma, #FatimaSanaShaikh and #NaseeruddinShah create a world filled with soft pain, quiet love and heartfelt longing. The film moves slowly, but every scene feels like a gentle ghazal.
Naseer sahab steals the show with his calm, soulful presence. Vijay Verma shines as a man torn between duty and desire, and Fatima brings a peaceful grace that holds everything together.
The music, the lines, the mood ,all feel warm, old-school and soothing. Yes, the pacing is slow and the yellow tint feels odd, but the emotion hits hard.
If you love poetry, old-world charm and unhurried romance, this one will touch your heart.
A rare film that reminds you why love stories still matter.
Manish Malhotra made a fantastic debut as a Producer with this film.
