About Gustaakh Ishq

The film also stars Naseeruddin Shah, Natasha Rastogi, Jaya Bhattacharya, Sharib Hashmi, Zain Khan Durrani, and Faisal Rashid, amongst others. Directed by Vibhu Puri, Gustaakh Ishq explores love in its most unguarded form. Set in 1998 in Purani Delhi and Malerkotla, the film follows Pappan, a man searching for purpose through art. His life is transformed when he meets with a reclusive poet and his fiercely independent daughter.

What Fatima Sana Shaikh and Vijay Varma said about the film

Vijay shared, “This film challenged me to explore love beyond words. Gustaakh Ishq lives in glances, pauses, and emotions left unsaid, and that made the experience deeply rewarding as an actor. Pappan’s journey is shaped by an inner conflict between discipline and desire, tradition and impulse, a struggle that many people will recognise. What moved me most was how the film treats love with restraint and dignity, allowing the tension to build quietly rather than declaring itself loudly."
