Ishq (transl. Love) is an Indian 1997 Hindi-language masala film directed by Indra Kumar. It stars Aamir Khan, Ajay Devgn, Juhi Chawla and Kajol along with Dalip Tahil, Sadashiv Amrapurkar, Johnny Lever and Mohan Joshi in supporting roles. The music was composed by Anu Malik. Ishq released on 28 November 1997 and emerged as a major commercial success at the box office, grossing over ₹500 million (US$5.2 million) worldwide, ranking as the third highest-grossing Hindi film of the year. The film received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics upon release, with praise for its humor, soundtrack, costumes and performances of the cast, but criticism for its story and screenplay. Ishq earned Amrapurkar a nomination for Best Villain at the 43rd Filmfare Awards. The film was remade in Kannada as Snehana Preethina (2007). The comedy track was reused in the Tamil film M. Kumaran Son of Mahalakshmi (2004). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
