Critical Reception
Deepika Jayaram of The Times Of India rated the movie 3.5/5 stars and wrote, "The film gives a glimpse into the kind of moral policing that many are constantly subjected to, on our streets. It also shows how such experiences get etched into the minds of those who have had to go through such ordeals", while she also praised Shane Nigam and Ann Sheetal's acting. [4]
Ashwin Baradwaj of Lensman reviews rated the movie 4/5 and reviewed, " Ishq is good example how to make message oriented film. Apart a small dialogue from Shane Nigam towards the end of the film, there hardly any spoon feeding here and what you get is an impactful cinema powered by solid performance and craft filled making.
Litty Simon of Manorama Online rated the movie 3.5/5 stars and reviewed, "Without diverting from its serious note, Ishq wins heart for the subtle nuances through which it tried to differentiate between 'love' and 'passion'."[5]
Akhila Menon of Filmibeat wrote, "Ishq is not just another love story but discusses a highly relevant social issue in a highly effective manner. Do watch it..!!" and rated it 3.5/5 stars. [6]
Cris of The News Minute rated the movie 2/5 stars and said, "The movie which begins promisingly enough, becomes a drag after a point and the issue of moral policing that it deals with is not handled well."[7]
