Here’s the official Gustaakh Ishq trailer you can watch online before streaming the film:

Gustaakh Ishq, which was released in theatres on 28 November, is now set for its OTT debut on JioHotstar from January 27, 2026. The digital release gives the film a second chance to connect with audiences who missed it on the big screen, especially viewers who appreciate slow-burn romances steeped in art, poetry, and emotion.

Set in the late 1990s in Purani Dilli and Punjab, Gustaakh Ishq follows Nawabuddin Saifuddin Rahman (Vijay Varma), who is trying to support his family while bringing his late father’s old printing press back to life. His journey takes him to a quiet Urdu poet, Aziz Beg (Naseeruddin Shah), where poetry and art slowly connect their lives. During this time, Nawabuddin falls in love with the poet’s daughter Minni, also called Mannat (Fatima Sana Shaikh), putting him at a difficult emotional crossroads. The film tells a soft, old-school love story about sacrifice, tradition, and changing times.

Gustaakh Ishq emerged as a major box office disappointment, ending its theatrical run with a worldwide collection of around ₹2.29 crore, far below its estimated ₹25 crore budget. The film earned approximately ₹1.75–₹1.85 crore as India net collection, while the India gross stood at nearly ₹2.06–₹2.2 crore (including GST), failing to recover its production costs.
