Dedh Ishqiya is a 2014 Indian black comedy thriller film directed by Abhishek Chaubey starring Madhuri Dixit, Arshad Warsi, Naseeruddin Shah, and Huma Qureshi in the lead roles. It is a sequel of Ishqiya and is produced by Raman Maroo and Vishal Bharadwaj. The film was released worldwide on January 10, 2014, with 1200 screens release in India.[5]. The film fared very poorly commercially and was declared a "FLOP" in India & worldwide.

Plot

Khalujan (Naseeruddin Shah) and his nephew Babban (Arshad Warsi), a thief duo, pose as a Nawab and his attendant, and manage to run away with a prized necklace from a jewellery shop. In the police chase they get separated, while Khalujaan is hurt. Months later Babban traces Khalujan again, this time posing a nawab, at a poetry contest. It is a mushaira organized by Begum Para (Madhuri Dixit), the widowed Begum of Mahmudabad as per the wishes of her deceased husband. The winner would win the Begum as bride and in turn become the Nawab of Mahudabad. However, by the opening night, Babban traces Khalujaan. Soon he falls in love with Begum Para's assistant, Muniya (Huma Qureshi), while Khalujaan has his heart set on Begum herself. Gradually the story progress a plot to kidnap the Begum is revealed. To complicate the matters there is another suitor in the fray, a local MLA-gangster Jaan Mohammed (Vijay Raaz), who posing as a poet, making a poet Nawab Italwi (Manoj Pahwa) write poetry for him in captivity. Khalujaan tries to impress the Begum by giving her the prized necklace they stole earlier but on the final day Begum declares Jaan Mohammed as her to be husband and new nawab of Mahmudabad. Disappointed Khalujaan approaches begum with a gun just before a masked man kidnaps her at gun point. Khalujaan chases them and blocks their way only to discover that the masked man was Babban and Begum has plotted her own kidnapping to extort money from the new to be nawab (now Jaan Mohammad) as the Begum was left bankrupt by her late husband. Babban calls Jaan Mohammed to bring 10 crore ransom money to a railway station who now is aware of Begum's plan. All four reach the railway station to collect money but find the bag empty and surrounded by Jaan Mohammad's goons. Much to their good fortune Nawab Italwi arrives with police force and cross-firing starts. Begum and Muniya escape from the situation leaving behind Babban and Khalujaan only to be arrested. One and half month later both get bail and a message from Begum and Muniya who are now settled in an unknown city by selling off the prized necklace. Movie ends with the duo once again surrounded by Mushtaq (Salman Shahid) and his gang.

Cast

Production

Casting

At a private party, the producers of Ishqiya, Shemaroo and Vishal Bhardwaj, announced the sequel with the same cast and crew.[6] In April 2012, Madhuri Dixit signed on for the sequel of Ishqiya, her first film after moving back to the country in November 2011 to play a grey character called Shahi Begum.[7] The two male leads Naseeruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi were retained from the original.[8] The role of supporting actress first was offered to Asin Thottumkal but, she refused to work in a supporting role in Dedh Ishqiya and in one interview she said that she thought that her role is not very attractive so, she left the project. Kangana Ranaut then signed Dedh Ishqiya [9] and said she was going to start shooting soon.[10] But in December 2012 she opted out due to date issues.[11] Huma Qureshi replaced Kangna Ranaut.[12] Arshad Warsi stated that he was paired with Huma and Madhuri was paired opposite Naseeruddin Shah.[13]

Filming

The shooting was initially to start in September and was shifted to November later, but it was postponed even further.[14] The shooting of Dedh Ishqiya began on 27 February 2013.[15] The Mahmudabad palace near Barabanki was spruced up for the shoot.[16] Madhuri Dixit performed mujra to a song titled Apne Karar Mein.[17] Pandit Birju Maharaj choreographed the dance sequence for Madhuri Dixit for the film.[18] First look of the film was released on October 25, 2013 and the trailer got released on November 8, 2013.

Critical reception

The movie garnered rave reviews from film critics.

National award-winning critic Baradwaj Rangan praised the movie in his website, saying "This, really, is how sequels should be made, hewing close enough to the earlier film(s) so that they seem part of a cinematic continuum, and yet different enough so that we don’t feel we’re watching the same film all over again."[19]

Anupama Chopra, the Hindustan Times movie critic said, "Dedh Ishqiya is worth watching just for Abhishek Chaubey's ambition. He is not constrained by the demands of the box office."[20]

Giving it 5 out of 5 stars, Rediff India's movie critic Raja Sen called Dedh Ishqiya a genuinely smart film.[21]

Taran Adarsh from Bollywood Hungama also gave positive review, Ishqiya was sharp, spicy and volatile, with impulsive characters and a storyline taking a somersault every few minutes. Dedh Ishqiya is no different. It transports you to a diverse world, but like the first part, this one focuses on love and deceit as well. Also, it's far more complex this time around and the truth hits you like a ton of bricks![22]

In a positive review, Deepanjana Pal from Firstpost praised direcdtor Chaubey the most, saying: "Chaubey is two films old and compared to Ishqiya, Dedh Ishqiya is far more elaborate, complicated and ambitious. Like a skipping stone, the film touches upon a variety of genres — action, comedy, romance, social critique — and Chaubey handles them deftly" [23]

In another Firstpost review, Mihir Fadnavis said: Dedh Ishqiya is smarter, funnier, richer and way more gorgeous than its predecessor. If you're a fan of clever lines with terrific actors, great writing, masterful direction and Urdu poetry, Dedh Ishqiya hits your sweet spot. If you don’t really give a damn about any of this and just want a fun time at the movies, Dedh Ishqiya is perhaps the most hilarious thriller Bollywood has produced.[24]

Subhash K. Jha from SKJbollywoodnews also gave positive review, "Dedh Ishqiya" is at least dedh times more delectable, saucy, audacious and amorous than "Ishqiya". It constructs the dynamics of love and redemption from the rubble of a lost world .[25]

The film has also been praised for its language and getting Urdu back into the film industry. Shoaib Daniyal from NewsYaps says that "the most mellifluous Urdu is spoken" in Dedh Ishqiya and "Chaubey and Bhardwaj take advantage of the register to produce some crackling repartee and wit."[26]

Box office

Dedh Ishqiya opened with an average occupancy at screens with a screen count of 1000–1200.[27] It collected ₹27.5−30 million (US$−360,000) on its opening day.[28] The film grossed around ₹11.5 crore (US$1.4 million) in first weekend.[29] Dedh Ishqiya collected around ₹1.75 crore (US$210,000) nett on first Monday taking its four day total to ₹13.25 crore (US$1.6 million).[30] The collections of Dedh Ishqiya were up around 25 lakhs nett going to ₹2.00 crore (US$240,000) nett taking its five day total to ₹15.25 crore (US$1.8 million).[31] Overseas collection of Dedh Ishqiya was around $525,000 in first weekend.[32] In second weekend, Dedh Ishqiya managed to earn ₹4.00 crore (US$480,000) in domestic box office. From Monday to Wednesday, Dedh Ishqiya earned ₹6.5 crore (US$780,000)[33] In overseas, it capsulated nearly ₹1.5 crore (US$180,000). Bringing the worldwide total overall ₹31.59 crore (US$3.8 million) in two weeks.[34] Dedh Ishqiya earned ₹27.50 crore (US$3.3 million) nett domestic box office by end of 3 week. Vinod Mirani from Rediff termed the movie to have an average opening .[35] However, Dedh Ishqiya failed to collect too well in its second week and in its third week it lost almost all of its screens to Jai Ho. The film was made on a budget of around 41 crore including its print and advertising. [36] Dedh Ishqiya only managed to recover 13.2 crore from its domestic theatrical business which is less than half its investment, hence The movie was declared as a flop by the major trades and box office sites [37] [38] [39]
