Mumbai:
The
digital
poster
of
Isaaq
recently
got
released.
In
the
original
Indian
adaptation
of
William
Shakespeare's
Romeo
&
Juliet,
Issaq,
directed
by
Manish
Tiwary,
we
see
the
story
transposed
to
Banaras
and
its
neigbouring
areas
that
are
witness
to
violence
unleashed
by
sand
mafia
controlled
by
urban
elite
and
equally
violent
retaliation
by
Naxalite
armies.
The
sand
mafia
is
run
by
two
influential
Banarasi
families,
Kashyaps
and
Mishras,
who
are
at
brutal
feud
with
each
other.
Kashyap
has
an
18-year
old,
pretty
and
innocent
daughter
Bachchi
from
his
first
wife,
Bachchi's
role
is
played
by
Amyra
Dastur
who
marks
her
debut
in
this
film.
On
the
other
hand,
Mishra's
son
Rahul
(Played
by
Prateik)
is
a
good-looking
teenager
with
predictable
interests
for
a
boy
of
his
background
-
Girls
&
Guns!
Things
change
when
the
battle-hardened
and
pleasure-seeking
Rahul
and
romantic
yet
head
strong
Bachchi
fall
in
love.
Disregarding
the
consequences,
the
young
lovers
choose
to
go
ahead
with
the
dictats
of
their
hearts.
What
follows
is
a
high
octane
action-filled
drama.
Manish
Tiwary's
Issaq
turns
into
a
commentary
on
the
meaning
of
love
in
contemporary
India!
