The much-awaited trailer of Gustaakh Ishq, starring Vijay Varma and Fatima Sana Shaikh, has been released, giving audiences a glimpse of an intense love story set against the poetic backdrop of Old Delhi. The film beautifully blends passion, heartbreak, and the lyrical rhythm of Urdu poetry.
The story revolves around a young poet, played by Vijay Varma, who travels to Delhi to learn the art of shayari under the guidance of a renowned poet, portrayed by Naseeruddin Shah. His journey takes an unexpected turn when he falls in love with the poet’s daughter, played by Fatima Sana Shaikh. The trailer showcases their evolving relationship through soulful verses, quiet glances, and emotional depth.
Directed by Vibhu Puri and produced by Manish Malhotra under his production banner Stage 5, Gustaakh Ishq marks Malhotra’s debut as a film producer. The film’s music has been composed by Vishal Bhardwaj, with lyrics penned by Gulzar, further enriching its poetic essence.
Visually, the trailer captures sepia-toned frames, smoky cafés, typewriters, and handwritten letters — evoking the nostalgia of vintage romance. The dialogues and shayari create an old-world charm reminiscent of classical Urdu literature and timeless love stories.
Gustaakh Ishq is slated to hit theatres on November 28, 2025, and is expected to appeal to audiences who appreciate soulful storytelling, emotional depth, and poetic expression in cinema.
