Fashion icon Manish Malhotra has stepped into film production with his debut venture Gustaakh Ishq, and the film’s music album is already creating waves. Released under Stage5 Production, this romantic drama brings back the golden era of soulful Bollywood melodies — earning massive love from audiences who missed the charm of ‘Kucch Pehle Jaisa’ music.
Starring Naseeruddin Shah, Vijay Varma, and Fatima Sana Shaikh, Gustaakh Ishq unfolds as an emotional story of love, passion, and longing. But what’s truly winning hearts is its breathtaking music album, crafted by a dream team of industry legends — Vishal Bhardwaj, Gulzar, Arijit Singh, Shilpa Rao, Papon, and Javed Ali.
Tracks like “Ul Jalool Ishq,” “Aap Is Dhoop,” and “Shehar Tere” have already become fan favorites. With Vishal Bhardwaj’s soulful compositions, Gulzar’s poetic lyrics, and vocals from a lineup of celebrated singers including Arijit Singh, Shilpa Rao, Papon, Javed Ali, Jazim Sharma, and Himani Kapoor, the album takes listeners on an emotional journey through melody and nostalgia.
In a time dominated by remixes and electronic beats, Gustaakh Ishq dares to be different — reviving old-school romance with heartfelt music that soothes the soul. Its lyrical depth and timeless compositions have struck a chord with audiences who crave genuine musical emotion.
For Manish Malhotra, this film marks an ambitious beginning as a producer. Made under Stage5 Production alongside his brother Dinesh Malhotra, Gustaakh Ishq is directed by Vibhu Puri and promises to blend classic storytelling with modern cinematic finesse.
Gustaakh Ishq releases in theatres on 28th November 2025, and if the album’s success is any indication, this film is set to redefine romance for a new generation of movie lovers.
