Aadha Ishq Review: Series failed to explore the complexities of human emotions and relationships
Aadha Ishq Web Series Rating: 1.5 Stars
Just watched Aadha Ishq web series on Voot Select. So let’s analyze the cast, release date, story, positive/negatives and at last my personal view on this web series.
Cast: Aamna Shariff, Gaurav Arora, Pratibha Ranta, Kunaal Roy Kapur, Pooja Bhamrrah, Darsheel Safary and Suchitra Pillai
Director: Nandita Mehra
Release Date: 12th May 2022 (Voot Select)
Duration: 9 Episodes/ 30 Minutes
Story: Series takes us into the world of Roma (Aamna Shariff) and Sahir (Gaurav Arora) who fall for each other in the valley of Kashmir in 2012. However, life has different plans for them.
Cut to 2022, Sahir, who is an artist and now a professor, visits a college where he is supposed to spend a week with students during the Art Festival. He meets Rene (Pratibha Ranta) who is a typical, curly-haired millennial and doesn’t believe in boundaries and smitten over him who has a complicated romantic history with her mother Roma. Sahir arrives in Roma’s life after a ten-year hiatus with dark motives. The atmosphere is tense from the beginning of the drama, particularly when retribution is brought up way too often.
Roma is in a loveless marriage with Milind (Kunaal Roy Kapur) who is a misogynistic man who engineers the break-up of the love-lorn couple. Ten years later, Sahir is back in Roma’s life, seeking revenge for her betrayal all those years ago. What happens when Rene got to know about her mother and Sahir relationship and Why Roma leave Sahir is all about this series

Durgesh Tiwary’s View : When I have watched the trailer of this series planned to watch in my free time as trailer was interesting with good star-cast and fan of unique love stories.
Aadha Ishq is centred on a madly-in-love couple, Sahir and Roma and their complex intricacies of forbidden love. Roma is in a loveless marriage with Milind who is a misogynistic man who engineers the break-up of the love-lorn couple. Ten years later, Sahir is back in Roma’s life, seeking revenge for her betrayal all those years ago. New complications arise when Roma’s headstrong, newly-adult daughter, Rene falls in love with her mother’s former lover, who’s now her art professor at school.
Series is easily one of the worst pieces of content to come out of the assembly-line production that is the Indian OTT space these days. It is so slow, boring and depressing that you’ll be left feeling like you’ve been hit by a truck at the end of the nine, 30-minute episodes. The storyline constantly oscillates between the past and present 2010, 2012 and current times in 2022. The irritating thing is that the primary characters look just the same in every time span, making it a wee bit difficult to understand what’s happening when. Keeping up with the constant back and forth between the past and present becomes too exhausting after some time, making one simply zone out for short stretches of time.
Silly subplots add their noxious factor to drag down a story that’s already deadly dull. Marital rape, an unwanted pregnancy, a miscarriage, teenaged crushes, the mandatory gay friend, all serve to make the narrative as messy as it can be. The ending of the series is the final straw. It is lousy, rushed and disappointing. What’s more, the ending makes it clear that the makers are angling for a Season 2. Remains to be seen if it will pass muster. My View on this web-series Not Recommended.
As Roma is caught in the middle of sacrifices, how will Milind control her #AadhaIshq?
