Director SS Raju has put 'Adaption' in the credits above his name but the people who watched the original can say that it is almost a frame-to-frame remake. The completely different story is both the movie's advantage and disadvantage. The director did not try to hide the loopholes in the original and failed to narrate 'Ishq' on an interesting note..

By the end of it all, the songs by Mahati Swara Sagar add nothing to the film and the chemistry between the lead pair is so lacking, it bores you till the film gets into the thick of things.
