Gustaakh Ishq is the latest romantic drama from Bollywood. Vijay Varma and Fatima Sana Shaikh played the lead roles, and the film was directed by Vibhu Puri. The movie received ultra-positive reviews from critics, but it became a box office bomb as it went completely unnoticed.

The latest update reveals that Gustaakh Ishq will start streaming from January 27 on Jio Hotstar. The film now gets a second life on OTT, and it remains to be seen if it can attract audiences now and compensate for its dull run at the box office. Popular designer Manish Malhotra produced this flick.

Gustaakh Ishq’s story revolves around Pappan, a man searching for meaning and direction in life, who finds solace in artistic expression. An unexpected encounter with a withdrawn poet and the poet’s strong-willed, independent daughter sets off emotional shifts that transform his life. Naseruddin Shah and Sharib Hashmi played vital roles.
