One of the most exciting aspects of Gustaakh Ishq is the musical collaboration between legendary lyricist Gulzar and composer Vishal Bhardwaj. The duo, known for crafting timeless musical experiences, reunites to work on the film’s soundtrack—setting expectations sky-high.
Earlier this year, Manish had shared a poetic announcement that beautifully described the essence of the film:

"Bewakoofiyaan, Nadan galtiyan, badi bhool hai ishq,
Sach Poochiye toh mere huzoor, ul jalool hai ishq!"
With its new title, striking visuals, and powerhouse talent, Gustaakh Ishq is shaping up to be an unforgettable cinematic journey. Fans can’t wait to see how this tale of bold, unapologetic love unfolds on screen.
