Movie Review: Ishkq in ParisFilm: "Ishkq in Paris";Cast: Preity Zinta, Rhehan Malliek, Isabelle Adjani;Director: Prem Raj;Rating: **The Indo-French girl Ishq (Preity Zinta) meets Akash (Rehan Malik) in Paris and spent an evening travelling the local streets. They explore the city and their love. Or will they? They part and reunite at a mutual friend's wedding in Paris. But the question is again the same. Will the two fall in love? This is all about how the story deals with.Director Prem Raj brings forth the two parallel commuters who are totally opposite each other. The giggle, play pranks, Akash flirting with the lady and that's it. He doesn't move forward as he doesn't believe in relationship. Similarly Ishq too is casual, in fact, is afraid of commitments.Till this point, the story appears to be out of a modern-age with some eye-candy views of Paris. Though it is all the more a Preity Zinta show all over, who slays everyone with her dimple smile, but that's not enough to hold you to your seats for 1 hour 30 minutes run time.The modern age love story, which could have been explored with some mature ideas, is driven badly by a melodramatic conclusion.And that is amusing and old-fashioned. Ishkq won't fall in love with Akash, because her French mother was ditched by her Indian father. Well that's humorously sad.Salman Khan's cameo in a wedding number is what keeps you hooked which comes in the final minutes.The cinematography is decent with beautiful locations, while the editing is crisp. Music is not memorable. Just adds to the scenes.Rehan Malik doesn't quite convince with his raw acting skills. He may be able to impress Preity, but not us.Preity. as told earlier. is the only savior of the drama which is already sinking. She makes her appearance after a long time and shimmers once again.And it's just her screen presence which gives ‘Ishkq in Paris' two stars. Enter the theatres, only if you missed her.
