‘Ishq Vishk Rebound’ Brings Back the Spirit of Young Love This June
The iconic 2003 film ‘Ishq Vishk’ is getting a spiritual sequel after over two decades. Titled ‘Ishq Vishk Rebound’, this new age romantic drama promises to capture the essence of young love in today’s world. Set to release on June 28th, 2024, the movie boasts of a fresh young cast and a story that resonates with the youth.
A Franchise Reimagined
While ‘Ishq Vishk Rebound’ pays homage to the original coming-of-age romance, director Nipun Avinash Dharmadhikari has clarified that this is not a sequel but a reimagining of the franchise for today’s generation. The film retains the franchise name but tells an entirely new story with a fresh cast.
Leading man Rohit Saraf has also asserted that he is not trying to emulate Shahid Kapoor’s iconic character from the original. Saraf brings his own unique charm and talent to give his character a distinct personality that will resonate with young viewers.

A Promising Young Cast
The biggest strength of ‘Ishq Vishk Rebound’ lies in its principal cast. Anchoring the film is Rohit Saraf, best known for his empathetic performance in the Netflix series ‘Mismatched’. Saraf has an innate likeability that makes him perfect for the role.
Joining Saraf is newcomer Pashmina Roshan, the cousin of superstar Hrithik Roshan, who makes her big screen debut. She will surely be one of the most promising new faces to look out for this year. Child artist Jibraan Khan of ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’ fame also returns to the screen alongwith ‘Mismatched’ actress Naila Grewal. This fresh ensemble strikes the right balance of talent and appeal for the Gen-Z centered film.

Capturing Modern Romance
In numerous interviews, the cast has described ‘Ishq Vishk Rebound’ as a story about relationships and romance among today’s youth. Just as college life and career choices shape different dynamics for young couples now, modern influences like technology and social media also play a part. The movie will portray contemporary complications faced by the new generation when it comes to love and friendship.
Director Dharmadhikari is specially equipped to handle this subject after his past body of work exploring young minds in films like ‘Me Vasantrao’ and ‘Baapjanma’. His touch will lend authenticity and insight into the world of his young characters. For youth struggling to navigate relationships in current times, this film promises a realistic mirror to their own lives.
Homage to Original’s Spirit
While early rumors floated around possible cameos from the original cast, makers have clarified that ‘Ishq Vishk Rebound’ respects the legacy but stands independently. However, the film attempts to recapture the innocence, charm and emotional honesty that made the 2003 film so beloved.
Early buzz based on behind the scenes snippets and song videos point to plenty of breezy college romance, lighthearted moments and maybe even life lessons about relationships – just like its spiritual prequel. By focusing on the moments that resonate across generations, this reboot hopes to conjure up that same old magic in a new way.
