The trailer for Gustaakh Ishq was released this week and it immediately sets a tone of timeless romance. The film stars Vijay Varma, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Naseeruddin Shah.
Scene by scene we see Vijay’s character attempting to woo Fatima’s, while Naseeruddin’s seasoned presence anchors the emotional weight. The story appears rooted in poetry and old-world charm rather than fast-paced modern glam.
The trailer also reveals the film’s background in Old Delhi streets, with vintage-style visuals and an emphasis on shayari (Urdu poetry) as a motif. This hints at a love story that points to depth over spectacle.
The film has an official release date of 28 November 2025 in India. The producer is celebrated fashion designer Manish Malhotra, marking his film producing debut.
Despite the classic romance vibe, some critics noted the trailer may not fulfil all expectations. One review stated “This messy heartbreak is underwhelming!” pointing to a possible disconnect between style and emotional payoff.
A setting steeped in nostalgia, Old Delhi alleys, poetry and longing. Vijay Varma’s character trying to win over Fatima Sana Shaikh’s. Naseeruddin Shah is in a pivotal supporting role, and with music and visuals that promise an evocative mood throughout.
The trailer for Gustaakh Ishq delivers a confident promise of romance steeped in tradition and style. It may not aim for blockbuster spectacle, but it clearly targets hearts that enjoy slow-burn love stories rendered with aesthetic finesse. Expect it to hit theatres and then gauge how audiences respond to the depth promised in the trailer.
