Renowned fashion designer Manish Malhotra’s debut film production, Gustaakh Ishq, starring Vijay Varma and Fatima Sana Shaikh, has a new release date. The film, which was earlier scheduled to hit theatres on November 21, 2025, will now release on November 28, 2025, a week later.
Sharing the update on his Instagram handle, Manish wrote, “Mark your calendars, ishq has a new date for y’all. ‘Gustaakh Ishq’ is now releasing on 28th November, 2025.” The film is produced by Dinesh Malhotra under the Stage5 Productions banner, marking a significant step for Manish as he ventures from the world of couture into cinema.
The teaser, unveiled in August 2025, gave audiences a glimpse into what promises to be a deeply emotional and visually rich period romance. The story unfolds through the love between Vijay Varma and Fatima Sana Shaikh’s characters, set against the evocative backdrop of Purani Dilli’s narrow lanes and the fading kothis of Punjab. Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah adds intrigue to the narrative with his mysterious presence.
Helmed by Vibhu Puri, the film boasts a powerhouse creative team, including Vishal Bhardwaj as the music composer, Gulzar as lyricist, Resul Pookutty handling sound design, and Manush Nandan behind the camera. Actor Sharib Hashmi also features in a key role, adding depth to the ensemble cast.
Promising to be “a daring story of love – ishq,” Gustaakh Ishq blends passion, nostalgia, and timeless romance with an aesthetic signature that mirrors Manish Malhotra’s artistic sensibilities. With such an acclaimed team on board, the film is one of 2025’s most anticipated cinematic offerings.
