…Both are easy on the eye—checking off all the departments for desi romcom; dance, dress, soft dialogues, sufficient screen presence—seemingly enjoying themselves before the camera. Saraf is potential star-material….

…Summing up, Ishq Vishk Rebound starts off as being a frothy romantic comedy but then loses its fizz midway. Watch it if you have a yen for rom coms and have to catch every such outing……

…The major problem with the film is not that it makes rebound seem ‘frivolous’. But, it makes a half-hearted attempt or resorts to tokenism to entertain. It is funny and cheesy, yes! But all of this without a soul, feels like a wasted opportunity….

…For anyone going to watch the film, we recommend not to expect anything and let the story unfold itself. You never know you might like some or the other thing in the 1 hour and 46 minutes of the movie. From watching Gen Z making their choices when it comes to love to witnessing boomers putting all their efforts into continuing a relationship after years, Ishq Vishk Rebound has come a long way and would definitely leave you thinking about the generational gap….

…The audience today has unlimited access to films and shows that talk about friendship, love, breakups, and rebounds. To stand out in the crowd, a film has to deliver something out of the ordinary, which is not the case with Ishq Vishk Rebound. However, it is a breezy watch that does not require extra thought or attention to detail, which, in addition to the short run-time, is an advantage in the rom-com genre. If you are looking for a movie with a simple plot to watch with your friends and have found yourself humming songs from the album, Ishq Vishk Rebound can be an option you can settle for….

…Ishq VIshk Rebound is a film for Gen Z. While older viewers might not fully connect with its portrayal of modern love, the humour, engaging performances, and entertainment value make it a decent one-time watch….

…As an audience, you keep waiting to see something more real, mature, and believable to be addressed in the film, but the film falls flat. Though it is written for Gen Z, it still comes out to be a cheesy, soulless film that neither gives the characters nor the audience time to feel what’s happening. It’s more like a rebound for Ishq Vishk lovers, and rebound relationships don’t always work. The film should come with a disclaimer “watch at your own risk and only if you are a Rohit Saraf fan.”…

…Overall, Ishq Vishk Rebound turns out to be a boring film because of the weak narration. Maybe if you are a GenZ or Gen Alpha, this movie might attract you, but on the whole it fails to entertain. So, it’s better to watch Shahid Kapoor-Amrita Rao starrer Ishq Vishk on Amazon Prime Video….

…Overall, “Ishq Vishq Rebound” is a disappointing sequel that fails to live up to expectations. With poor acting, a lack of direction, and a painfully short runtime, it earns a well-deserved one-star rating. This film is best avoided by fans of the original and new viewers alike….

…Is Ishq Vishk Rebound better than Ishq Vishk. No! Is it bad? Not really! To simply put, it’s an easy-breezy watch that’s fun and frivolous at the same time. As Pashmina says to Rohit in one of the scenes, ‘Your characters are mature, but you still have a lot of growing up to do’. This is exactly what I’d like to tell the whole team of Ishq Vishk Rebound — your story is mature and intense, but there’s still a lot that can make it convincing and clearer….

…If you are planning to watch Ishq Vishk Rebound in theatres this weekend, you can easily avoid it and save 106 minutes of your precious time of your life. Rather sit outside a college and enjoy a good ‘Ishq Vishk’ vibe. If you are a Rohit Saraf fan, I would suggest you watch his popular films like The Sky Is Pink and Hichki, instead of watching the spiritual sequel to the 2003 film. Out of five, we give it 2 stars….

…The film seems to forget Grewal (last seen in courtroom drama ‘Mamla Legal Hai’) for long stretches. The same goes for third-fiddle Khan, who reminds us strongly of the boy he was in ‘K3G’. Despite the uneven time-share on screen, you can see each has potential…

…In conclusion, ‘Ishq Vishk Rebound’ had the potential to be an intriguing exploration of friendships and love in the context of modern relationships. However, it falls short due to its weak script, lack of genuine character development, and poor execution. It’s a missed opportunity to create a memorable rom-com for the Gen Z audience….
