Synopsis : Gustaakh Ishq is a heartwarming, quirky tale that explores the complex dynamics of love, art and self-discovery, set against the vibrant backdrop of Purani Delhi and the quiet streets of Malerkotla, Punjab. The story follows Pappan, a man with a history of failures, who dreams of reviving his father’s legacy — a dying Urdu press called Mustaqbil. Despite his practical brother Jumman’s insistence to sell it for a more profitable venture, Pappan is determined to publish a meaningful book, but modern writers’ works fall short of his ideal. When Pappan learns of Ustaad, a once-renowned poet now living in seclusion, he travels to Malerkotla with hopes of securing Ustaad's lost poetry in order to revive and save his printing press. With humor, emotion, and a fresh take on the themes of love and sacrifice, Gustaakh Ishq is an unforgettable journey through the heart and soul of a man who must choose between personal gain and a greater truth. The story invites you to ask: What does it mean to truly love something — or someone? And how much is one willing to sacrifice to preserve that love?
